Press Release DownloadShare An uncompromising and powerful exterior design The all-new i20 N presents an uncompromising and powerful look to match its undiluted high-performance experience. The exterior design of the model emphasises its high-performance nature by combining elements of Hyundai’s rallying heritage with the company’s latest Sensuous Sportiness design identity, which creates an emotional appeal for drivers. It adds aerodynamically functional forms to the sporty and dynamic styling of its base model, the class-leading Hyundai i20, such as a 10 mm lower ground clearance. The front is dominated by the front bumper with a larger air intake for the turbo engine. The wide radiator grille with N logo features a unique pattern inspired by a chequered flag, underlining the all-new i20 N’s racetrack capability. Below the grille, a lip spoiler featuring Tomato Red accents further enhances the model’s performance-oriented design. This colour extends to the new side skirt and the rear, emphasising its width. Meanwhile, unique side sills reinforce the link between the front and rear of the car. DownloadShare At the rear, a distinctive WRC-inspired roof spoiler enhances downforce and underscores the aerodynamic nature of the all-new i20 N so that it is fun to drive on any road and helps maintain stability even at high speeds. A rear bumper with built-in diffuser-like elements and triangular rear fog light echo the iconic light shape found on the i30 N and i30 Fastback N. In addition, a big single exhaust emphasises the high-performance potential of the engine. Other design highlights include front LED headlamps, while the darkened tail lamps resemble a black diamond. The all-new i20 N’s sporty credentials are further accentuated by its bespoke 18‑inch alloy wheels with a grey matte finish and N-branded brake callipers. The all-new i20 N comes in six exterior colours including the N signature Performance Blue livery, which is exclusive to Hyundai N models, and an optional Phantom Black roof for a two-tone style. Additional Tomato Red accents further emphasise Hyundai’s motorsport DNA. Exterior colours: Performance Blue (with optional Phantom Black roof) Intense Blue (with optional Phantom Black roof) Polar White (with optional Phantom Black roof) Sleek Silver (with optional Phantom Black roof) Brass (with optional Phantom Black roof) Phantom Black DownloadShare Interior design offers a high-performance driving space Inside, the all-new i20 N represents a high-performance driving space with a host of N-specific advanced and high-tech premium features. This includes dedicated sport seats with an integrated headrest that are unique to the all-new i20 N, as well as N steering wheel and N gear knob and sporty N metal pedals. The black interior features Performance Blue accents throughout and all‑black head lining. The digital cluster and AVN screen include features such as the variable LED red zone, which varies according to engine oil temperature, and the shift-timing indicator, which shows the driver the best time to switch gears. DownloadShare A turbocharged fast-power engine makes the all-new i20 N focused on fun to drive The all-new i20 N is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged GDi engine with a six-speed manual transmission (6MT). This engine is the first of a new generation to feature in a European Hyundai model, and delivers a maximum output of 204 PS and a maximum torque of 275 Nm for ultimate power delivery. With 1,190 kg of weight just as the i20 Coupe WRC, the power-to-weight ratio is one of the best in class. The all-new i20 N delivers a maximum speed of 230 km/h, and can go from 0‑100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. The engine offers flat power, which ensures high responsiveness and improved acceleration for even more fun on the road or on the racetrack. Flat power provides more torque and power at lower RPMs, thereby utilising more of the engine’s potential in everyday driving situations. The all-new i20 N keeps maximum torque between 1,750 and 4,500 RPM, and achieves maximum power between 5,500 and 6,000 RPM. This improves acceleration in the mid- and high-speed range and delivers consistent high performance in a variety of driving conditions. The all-new i20 N’s engine features an exclusive turbo system which is cooled by an intercooler and the water circulation of the engine. A 350-bar high-pressure injection rail provides for fuel atomization, a faster engine response, as well as a more efficient mixture preparation. The 1.6 T-GDi engine utilises Hyundai’s new Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology to further optimise fuel efficiency. The CVVD regulates the duration of valve opening and closing according to driving conditions, achieving a boost in performance and three per cent improvement in fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, the 6MT has been refined and reinforced especially for the all-new i20 N to cope with higher RPM, torque and Launch Control to give its drivers a dynamically immersive driving experience. The all-new i20 N can also be equipped with the N Corner Carving Differential, a Mechanical Limited Slip Differential (m‑LSD) that utilises a mechanically controlled Torsion gear type to control the power transfer to the front wheels. It provides optimum traction and enhances grip on every corner for a sportier and more agile ride. DownloadShare High-performance features for the thrill of driving The all-new i20 N is equipped with a number of dedicated functionalities for a sporty fun-to-drive experience. The N Grin Control System offers customers a high level of customisation, with five distinct drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, N and N Custom. The drive modes adjust the parameters of the engine, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), exhaust sound and steering in order to optimise them for a variety of driving conditions. In the N Custom mode, drivers can select from Normal, Eco, Sport and Sport+ settings for each of the mentioned components to match driving preferences and road conditions via a “Spider diagram” on AVN screen. Moreover, dedicated N keys on the steering wheel flexibly allow any type of pre-sets to be mapped according to individual needs. For even sportier pleasure of driving, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can be operated in three stages: on, sport and fully off. DownloadShare Like the i30 N, the all-new i20 N boasts a range of high-performance driving features. Rev Matching synchronises the engine to the output shaft and has its own dedicated activation button on the steering wheel. This allows smoother or sportier downshifts, depending on the drive mode. With Launch Control, the engine and traction control are optimised for quick acceleration from a standing start just like a professional race driver. Other motorsport-inspired features include an electric sound generator, variable muffler control for the perfect exhaust sound, as well as left-foot braking calibration, a brake pad wear indicator (PWI), and dedicated 215/40 R18 Pirelli P-Zero ultra-high-performance tyres with “HN” mark (standing for “Hyundai N”). DownloadShare Ride and handling Hyundai’s engineers have retuned and refined the regular i20’s chassis, suspension, brakes and steering in order to deliver more agile ride and handling so that the all-new i20 N is capable of handling the thrills of the racetrack. The chassis has been reinforced at 12 different points to ensure smoother handling and usability on any road and in all weather conditions. This includes a redesigned undercover and an additional bracket. The suspension features reinforced front domes and knuckles with adjusted geometry. This includes increased camber for better traction and five fixation points for the wheel as well as a new anti-roll bar, new springs and shock absorbers for maximum driving fun. The all-new N Power Sense Axle at the front combined with a Dual Coupled Torsion Beam Axle (CTBA) at the rear provide higher stiffness for improved ride and handling performance. Meanwhile, the high-performance brakes feature an increased front disc, which is 40 mm larger than the regular i20, for increased fading resistance and a more consistent brake pedal feel. The all-new i20 N offers direct and precise steering for confident, sporty driving through a reduced steering ratio of 12.0 (i20: 12.4) and its specifically tuned column-mounted motor driven power steering system (C-MDPS). Play Footage A comprehensive safety package The all-new i20 N is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense Advanced Drivers Assistance System features and complies with the highest European safety standards. This includes features such as Forward Collision Assist City / Interurban / Pedestrian (FCA), Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), Lane Following Assist (LFA) and Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW). Hyundai SmartSense safety features: Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Forward Collision Avoidance Assist-City / Interurban / Pedestrian / Cyclist (FCA) Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) Driver Attention Warning System incl.

Aggiornamento Via BMWNews

Ciao a tutti, da qualche tempo la mia Afa 159 (del 2011, 2.0 MJTD, con solo circa 65,000km) ha iniziato a fare un rumore che mi preoccupa un po'. Soprattutto a freddo, se la faccio salire un po' di giri (diciamo, una partenza in salita, dove abito ce n'è molte), il turbo inizia a fare un rumore strano: una sorta di ronzio che cambia con il variare della pressione nel circuito, e che a volte sparisce quando il motore si scalda, a volte no. In genere però sparisce sempre se faccio un bel tratto a regime costante, in autostrada o simili. Chiariamo che non è il semplice "fischio" del turbocompressore! Quello l'ha sempre fatto, ovviamente, e non c'è nulla di strano. Dato che proprio in questo periodo mi sto chiedendo se non sia ora di cambiarla, vorrei cercare di capire se devo forse aspettarmi qualche sorpresa, o se avete suggerimenti o esperienze a riguardo. Grazie!

Doppia geometria variabile: se n'è sentito parlare più di qualche volta, a mio avviso con poco fondamento. Sinceramente infatti devo ancora capire possa funzionare la G.V. sul lato compressore, visto che non ne vedo l'utilità. Che vantaggi potrebbe portare se a variare sono palette su statore come avviene per lo scarico... Qualcuno sa esattamente come funziona?

Ciclo Miller, iniezione diretta, VGT, Cylinder Deactivation e tante altre chicche tecnologiche per il nuovo EA211 Evo VW. Efficienza migliorata del 10%. Un motore simile lo ha in produzione anche Toyota.

Salve, ho visto l'ultimo facelift della Giulietta e mi ha ispirato una versione v6 di 2000 cc che ho immaginato aggiungendo delle prese d'aria aggiuntive per raffreddare il turbo. Che ne pensate?

Salve a tutti del forum e grazie agli amministratori per aver accettato la mia iscrizione! Vorrei da tutti voi che, come me, siete appassionati di auto, un consiglio sul mio prossimo acquisto; premetto innanzitutto che vi sarò grato se vorrete darmi dei pareri in quanto reali possessori dell'auto che mi consiglierete, e non per sentito dire, letto, visto o testato per 15 minuti presso l'autosalone. Allora comincio: l'auto che mi interessa deve essere del segmento C, lunga al massimo 430cm perché più grande non mi sta' in garage. I punti per me fondamentali sono: abitabilità (per 4 adulti non anoressici e non nani), insonorizzazione (mi piace ascoltare musica classica mentre guido e quindi non mi piacciono i fruscii, gli scricchiolii, e i rumori esterni oltre una certa soglia) e l'affidabilità. L'auto deve avere 5 porte e, anche se faccio molti km all'anno, vorrei un benzina, ben dotato, che non tentenni nei sorpassi o nei pendii montani. Quindi meglio se turbo e con almeno 120/140cv. Non mi importa se l'auto ha il baricentro basso (berlina) o altro (piccolo suv), l'importante è che non faccia l'effetto gondola. Se poi è convertibile a GPL o ha il 4x4 o entrambe le cose meglio. Chiedo la luna? forse.... Grazie 1000 a tutti quelli che sprecheranno un po' di tempo per me!

EDIT: continuazione dal topic "Ford Focus Ecoboost 1.0 - Impressioni di guida" - Messaggio #35 :czdc:

Prendendo ad esempio come confronto il motore della civic type-r (2.0 da 200cv aspirato) e il tfsi della golf gti (2.0 turbo) secondo voi a parità di potenza massima qual'è il migliore? ed estendo il discorso in generale, a parità di potenza meglio turbo o aspirato?

...secondo voi che auto consuma di piu? per farvi capire meglio...avevo in mente ad esempio: - grande punto abarth (1.4 turbo 155 cv) - mini cooper S (1.6 turbo 175cv) - opel corsa OPC (1.6 turbo 192 cavalli) - per i 1.8 turbo nn so che esempi fare usciranno solo prossimamente, cmq per esempio 1.8 turbo del gruppo volksWagen. leggendo sui 'giornaletti' pare che consumino piu o meno uguale , ma stento a credere che, se la punto 1.4Turbo consuma circa 12/13km/l nel misto, la CORSA OPC faccia gli 11 .... cioè è un1.6 e ha 40 cv in piu!!! se consuma quasi uguale e costa uguale allora conviene la OPEL! (infatti a me attira un casino...) in linea teorica pero pensavo...essendo tutti turbo...cmq quello di cilindrata minore consumera sempre meno di quello di cilindrata superiore no? PREMETTENDO CHE IO NN FACCIO QUASI MAI AUTOSTRADA....(in tal caso beve meno il motore piu grosso) altra cosa che volevo chiedere....ma il motore della opel OPC sarà affidabile? a me un 1.6 con cosi tanti cavalli da l'idea di un motore fragile e che dopo pochi chilometri inizia a dare seri problemi.

Topic Spy <--- E' arrivata: 70 kg e 12.000 € in più rispetto alla Turbo Coupè e stesse prestazioni (310 km/h, 3,8 s da 0-100 km/h).
