The Hyundai RM20e is an 800HP, mid-engined, rear-wheel drive car with fenders as wide as Texas. It's part Veloster, part race car, part secret project. "RM" has been the name for a number of cars built by Hyundai's skunk works engineers. The clever differential in the new 2022 Hyundai Elantra N was developed in the RM16. Hyundai's own DCT was tested in the 390-horsepower RM19 (watch Matt drive that car: youtube.com/watch?v=s29kr7qAiu... ).

The powertrain was developed alongside Rimac, the name synonymous with 2,000HP electric hypercars and most recently, Bugatti. If Rimac is involved, you know the car will be powerful and functional.

Will Hyundai ever sell a mid-engined EV to the public? We don't know. Today we're going to find out how this one drives.

*CORRECTION: The car has 1 800V motor and 4 inverters. At the track we were told it had 4 motors and I didn't ask for clarification. Their whole team had had a very long week so verbal typos can happen.
