Hyundai's N performance division is working on a dedicated sports car, and part of the development process involves testing a mid-engine platform hidden within the makeshift body of a Veloster hatch. This week we tested the latest version of the platform in the RM19 prototype and came away thouroughly impressed, even though there's still a lot of work ahead for the engineering team.

It’s a chainsaw in a box, revving behind your right ear. It’s firm, direct, unflappable. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA35 AMG is a dab of Gorilla Glue applied right to the road.
