History

Hyundai's N brand was first launched in 2015 to benchmark other high-performance brands such as AMG of Mercedes Benz, M of BMW and RS of Audi.[2] The name ‘N’ represents three elements - first, the Namyang district in South Korea where Hyundai Motor Group's global R&D centre is located and the N brand was first created; second, the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, which is home to Hyundai's Technical Centre and used to hone and develop the N vehicles; third, the ‘N’ logo itself is also a graphical representation of a classic racetrack Chicane; a tight serpentine turn in the road.[3]
