2026 Hyundai Elantra N TCR Edition: BMW and Porsche's Worst Nightmare

TRACK TEST RESULTS: The 2026 Hyundai Elantra N TCR Edition just delivered lap times that should make German car owners very uncomfortable.

After a full day extracting maximum performance at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, this Korean sedan is proving that motorsport technology doesn't require German prices. With genuine TCR racing DNA, 276 horsepower, and championship winning engineering, it's delivering supercar performance at everyday prices.

The four-piston brakes, carbon aerodynamics, and electronically controlled suspension aren't marketing gimmicks, they're race proven components that work exactly as advertised. Most importantly, it's available with a proper 6 speed manual transmission for enthusiasts who still believe in the joy of driving.

Watch the full track test to see why BMW and Porsche engineers are updating their LinkedIn profiles in Korean.

What's your take on Korean manufacturers challenging German performance car dominance?
