Hyundai i20


Formed in the late 60’s South Koreas largest car manufacturer Hyundai had a reputation of producing middle of the road family saloons but all that changed with the formation of the Hyundai Motorsport division. Debuting in WRC during 2014 they were soon on the podium and progressed to win back-to-back manufacturers titles, keen to transfer this success and knowledge gained through motorsport to the road Hyundai’s N division was formed and in 2018 unleashed the marques first true hot hatch the i30N. The success of the i30N saw EXCELR8 Motorsport introduce Hyundai to the BTCC in 2020 where they’ve enjoyed continued success and with Scorpions involvement ensures true track to road technology transfer. Scorpion’s technical partnership with Hyundai goes back to the late 90’s when supporting the UK based company MSD ‘Motor Sport Developments’ who at that time, we’re key in bringing Hyundai to WRC. The F2 Hyundai Accent driven by Alister McRea entered the WRC scene for 3 years during which time and along with other technical projects Scorpion would become a key partner in MSD’s exhaust program.
