Here is a battle of compact, four-door performance cars. A Hyundai Elantra N with the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission takes on a Honda Civic Type R in drag races and runs from a roll.
The Elantra N packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 276 horsepower (206 kilowatts). The NGS button on the steering wheel stands for "N Grin Shift." Pressing it temporarily provides overboost to make 286 hp (213 kW). The mill makes 289 pound-feet (392 newton-meters) of torque. With the eight-speed DCT, Hyundai says the model reaches 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in 5.0 seconds.
