The Hyundai i20 N rally car has been developed by Hyundai Motorsport under the new-for-2022 FIA Group Rally1 technical regulations. Group Rally1 cars have two radical new features for the World Rally Championship: the first is the introduction of a hybrid electric power system, linked to the existing 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in use on the previous WRC Plus cars. The battery-electric motor element of the hybrid powertrain captures energy during braking, storing it in a 3.9 kWh battery.
The recovered energy can then be deployed via a 100kW (134 hp) electric motor which, combined with the 380 horsepower of the combustion engine, allows the car to have more than 500 hp available during acceleration. Unlike the push-to-pass systems of other motorsport championships with hybrid engines, drivers in WRC instead deploy the electrical energy through an automatic system dictated by pre-programmed engine maps
The second feature is related to their origin. In fact Rally1 machines have no series production car requirement. They still have to be identifiable as being based on a series production model but tubular space frame structures are permitted allowing for scaling of production models.
Rally1 cars have also a less complex suspension setup with reduced travel, a reduction from 6 to 5 speed gearboxes, in common with Rally2 cars including the removal of 'flappy-paddle' gear shifters and the removal of some aerodynamic components.
Enjoy some pure sound scenes of the three I20 N Rally1s lined up for the 2024 WRC Rallye Monte-Carlo driven by Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja (No. 8), Andreas Mikkelsen - Torstein Eriksen (No. 9) and Thierry Neuville - Martijn Wydaeghe (No. 11)!
