Hyundai Performance Brand Due In 2015

World Car Fans is reporting confirmation that Hyundai’s forthcoming WRC programme will spawn a performance division starting with the next generation i20 in 2015.

Hyundai motorsport team principal, Michel Nandon, is quoted as saying the planned performance-oriented brand will mirror the likes of Nissan’s Nismo division.

While the next-generation i20, on which the 2015 WRC car will also be based, makes perfect sense as a starting point for the project, fans of models like the Veloster will look forward to having a bit more performance to match the already sporty design.
