Drawing from Hyundai’s participation in the TCR World Tour since 2017, the ELANTRA N TCR Edition incorporates advancements gained through championship wins and years of motorsport experience. It features enhancements designed to elevate both performance and driving dynamics. Key upgrades include an adjustable carbon swan neck spoiler for optimal downforce, lightweight 19-inch forged wheels, and N Performance four-piston brakes, ensuring responsive handling and braking. There is no confirmation of a power bump, but these upgrades aim to make the car tackle corners and stay out on track longer compared to the regular Elantra N.
