Remember the impressive small RM19 concept of Hyundai’s central engine that was unveiled at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show?It’s amazing. So how does Hyundai sum this up? Meet the RM20e, which will be presented this weekend at the Beijing Motor Show. It’s the same rolling lab racing car configuration as the RM19, but with a major difference, and especially cool: it’s electric.
The RM20e actually looks like the company, and is essentially a modified edition of its Veloster N ETCR electric racing car. Hyundai doesn’t accurately say how large the RM20e’s battery life is, it only confirms that it produces 810 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of Comparatively, the RM19 I drove last year produced 390 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. But because batteries are inherently heavier, the RM20e certainly has much more weight, Hyundai does not specify a precise amount.
According to Hyundai, the RM20e can accelerate up to 62 mph in less than 3 seconds and succeed in 12 four mph in just under 10 seconds. The lighter, less resistant RM19 finished the board from 0 to 60 mph in about four seconds.
“The RM20e represents an innovative new bankruptcy in electrified functionality for the Racing Midship series, and our N engineers continue to collect valuable data in the zero-emissions functionality dynamics box,” Albert Biermann, head of studies and progression at Hyundai Motor Group, said in a statement. It’s no secret that Hyundai plans to launch a number of electrified products in the coming years, and senior functionality department N will be at the forefront of environmental responsibility,” Biermann said.
Holy Smokes is that cool thing.
Like the RM19, the RM20e is unlikely to have a popular long-term car; Instead, Hyundai will continue to maximize its RM progression car to succeed in new degrees of performance, now with electrical assistance. the RM21 has in store.
