Hyundai’s motorsport division has introduced a brand-new livery for the i20 World Rally Championship (WRC) cars for the remainder of the 2024 season. The i20 WRC now sports a new color scheme as Hyundai bids farewell to the sky-blue shade previously seen on the model earlier in the season.
The revamped Hyundai WRC livery pays homage to 10 years of the automaker’s ‘N’ road car performance brand. Featuring orange, white, and blue hues, the new livery aligns with a broader campaign from Hyundai N division celebrating a decade of involvement in the WRC.
Cyril Abiteboul, Team Principal at Hyundai, expressed, “As some of our colleagues celebrate the Lunar New Year, we are also marking a fresh beginning with an all-new livery for the remainder of the FIA WRC season.” Abiteboul continued, “The design was created to pay tribute to our close working relationship with Hyundai N and Hyundai Motor Company, and complements their celebrations of ten years in the pinnacle of rallying.”
The new livery debuted at Rally Sweden, the second round of the 2024 WRC season. The team began the year triumphantly with driver Thierry Neuville clinching victory in Monte Carlo last month, albeit with the previous livery. Esapekka Lappi made his first start of the season in Sweden, driving the third i20 N rally car alongside full-time drivers Neuville and Ott Tanak.
