South Korean automaker [Hyundai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-vision-fk-concept) has gone ahead and developed a powerfully turbocharged engine, designed to be installed on its Hyundai N high-performance car models, specifically the Hyundai i30 2.0 Turbo development vehicle.

This engine is currently in the development stage and is set to make its performance debut in the Nurburgring endurance race, one of the most testing car race circuits that exists today.

What's great about this particular turbocharged engine is the fact that, even though it has been designed with a [high-performance racing car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-gr-yaris-aero-performance) in mind, Hyundai didn't allow itself to be obsessed solely by horsepower in designing the engine. Rather, the engine is crafted to offer maximum driving pleasure and fun and reliable performance that makes it excellent for everyday and utilitarian use.

This turbocharged engine goes to show that power and day-to-day convenience can absolutely go in hand.
