Hyundai has pulled the covers off its new i20 World Rally Car at the Paris Motor Show.
Greater aerodynamic freedoms have allowed Hyundai to fit much larger wings as well as a huge rear diffuser and front splitter, while a 55mm increase in allowable with means the i20 WRC wears massively flared guards to cover its wider tracks.
Hyundai currently has New Zealander Hayden Paddon and Spaniard Dani Sordo confirmed as drivers for next year, with its third driver Thierry Neuville currently embroiled in negotiations between Hyundai and Citroen.
The Hyundai i20 WRC has been undergoing an extensive test program on all surfaces since April with the car’s final homologation specification to be finalised in the near future.
The finished car will be revealed in December before the 2017 WRC season kicks off in Monte Carlo on January 20.
