The hot hatch segment remains steamy in Europe. In this video, Daniel Abt collects a Hyundai i30 N Performance and a Volkswagen GTI Clubsport for a series of drag races. The video is in German, but the subtitles are of good enough quality to make what's happening understandable.
Starting with their specs, the i30 N Performance makes 271 horsepower (202 kilowatts) and 279 pound-feet (378 Newton-meters) of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. This one has a six-speed manual, not the available eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox that's available on the current version. The car weighs 3,150 pounds (1,429 kilograms).
