You’re looking at the Hyundai RM15 Concept, a WRC-inspired lightweight, carbon-fibre-bodied, mid-engined and rear wheel drive two-seat design study. No, this isn’t a late April Fools story. Seriously, this is all legit!
Making its debut at the 2015 Seoul Motor Show, the RM15 (as in Racing Midship 2015, not 15 Ringgit) is meant as a showcase of Hyundai’s “passion for performance and its expertise in the development of advanced vehicle technologies.” Why it looks so much like the standard Veloster, we have no idea.
The RM15’s carbon-fibre body makes it 195 kg lighter than a standard all-steel structure. A Theta 2.0 litre T-GDI engine mounted just ahead of the rear axle, sending 295 hp and 383 Nm of torque to the 19-inch rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. So it’s quite fast, obviously, getting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.
To handle the extra grunt, the RM15 is equipped with a WRC-inspired roll-cage which, together with the aluminium core structure and carbon-fibre body panels, makes it extremely rigid. It’s claimed to have a torsional stiffness of 37,800 Nm/deg. The McLaren F1’s chassis, for instance, measures in at just 13,500 Nm/deg. Impressed yet?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I’m pretty sure many of you including myself, were scratching our heads when we read the Heading for this post.. hahaha Hyundai Fifteen Ringgit Concept was in my mind for a couple of seconds before it hit me.. hahaha
This RM15 for Perlis registered RM15. How nice.
Much better than Civic Euro
I had a heart attack for 2 seconds there !!! Nasib baik !
Kimchi? No good.. Bad RV.. What ever model..
Buy toyota better..
I dont know to buy this car for RM15… or pay GST :P
Sam Loo will said if you buy this car for RM15 next year only can sell for RM5 because no RV.
I tought sam loo would say rm0.05 due to no rv
This Korean Ah Beng cannot even be traded in
I’ll pay RM150 for 2nd hand price, so from RM15 to RM150. Kimchi have better resale value than Sushi
Hahahahah you really got me with the 15 Ringgit bit…
RM15 for the 1/72 scaled version. The normal Veloster is already RM150k, the real thing is probably RM1.5 million.
Anyways for the Shigatsu photoshoot, do you mind Arima in a normal shirt or true to the character.
COSPLAY? (Said in the most stereotypical japanese english)
It would be Cosuppray
Yup, something of a guilty pleasure for me. I do enjoy mixing with them and taking photographs at times when I’am not hunting cars.
it would be great if it costs RM15 only.. wouldnt mind to get one
you can get it next year for RM15 incl GST…the match box version
Actually, the name should be RP15. Indian Rupee
Bro Rp is rupiah. Indian rupee is INR
Prove it to us, beyond paper, and under the premium name of Genesis.
