Lightweight Performance Cars

The Hyundai RM16's Low Center of Gravity Allows For Improved Handling

As far as performance cars go, they don't come about better and more comprehensively engineered than Hyundai's brand new RM16. The latest addition to the automaker's RM series, this particular vehicle borrows features from its predecessors the RM14 and RM15 but makes use of the latest automotive technologies to improve performance.

This particular performance car concept comes equipped with a 2.0-liter theta T-GDI engine that works in conjunction with a six-speed manual transmission setup that places control over handling and speed squarely in the hands of the driver. This vehicle features weight-saving technologies that improve balance and acceleration by shifting the center of gravity to less than 500 mm from the ground.

The Hyundai RM16 is a triumph in modern automotive engineering in that it blends an aerodynamic design with a lightweight structure, something that improves both acceleration and handling.
