Hyundai i30 N

The Hyundai i30 N is a high-performance variant of the PD generation of the Hyundai i30 four-door hatchback.
==Description==
Hyundai unveiled the third generation i30 at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The car was designed by Peter Schreyer, and introduced a new design language for the brand called "Cascading grille". For the 2019 model year, Hyundai standardized the i30 Fastback front design, for all i30 versions. (Excluding the i30 N-line and i30N models)
The Hyundai i30 Fastback replaced Elantra in EU markets where it was being sold until Autumn 2017, where it was being presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

===Performance===
Prior to the Sixth Anniversary Update, the Hyundai i30 N has a maximum total speed of 236.3 mph / 380.5 km/h at MAX+PRO with Tuning Kit and 0808 Elite Tuning, making it the fastest Class D car in terms of total speed, beating long-time record holder Mazda RX-8 (with 234.9 mph / 378.2 km/h) and excluding the deleted Despicable Me "Villain Wheels". As of the 2019 Halloween Update, the i30 N only reaches 227.2 mph / 365.8 km/h due to the removal of Elite status and rebalanced Tuning Kit bonus.
Compared to the Mazda RX-8, the Hyundai i30 N has a higher top speed and longer nitro duration but has slower acceleration and wider drift radius.
===Usage (Multiplayer)===
The Hyundai i30 N is a questionable choice for multiplayer as it will be put in races with the Donkervoort D8 GTO and Ariel Atom V8, both of which have faster acceleration, higher top speed, tighter drift radius and longer nitro duration. Due to performance balancing and the reomval of ELITE status, the i30 N cannot even compete with a MAX+PRO DS Survolt unless the latter is not using boosters. However, if the driver is extremely skilled the Hyundai can give all these cars a run for their money using its drift radius (counters Survolt) and its high kerbweight (compared to the D8 and Atom) so it will not wreck easily.
