Hyundai Has Built A 408-horsepower Minivan H-1

Hyundai Australia has refined the H-1 rear-wheel drive minivan, marketed in the continent as the iMax, for drifting. The car with the N Drift Bus prefix received a powerful engine and many parts from the Hyundai i30 N hot hatch.

• Standard 2.5-liter turbo diesel with 170 hp. replaced with a petrol 3.5 V6 from the SantFe crossover. The engine, combined with an eight-speed "automatic", was supplemented with two turbines, and now it develops 408 hp. (555 Nm). With it, the minivan accelerates to 100 km / h in less than five seconds.
• Also, the driftbus received a lowered suspension with adaptive shock absorbers, front brakes with four-piston calipers, an upgraded exhaust system with forked pipes and a limited-slip differential on the rear axle.
• From the Hyundai i30 N, the minivan got 19-inch wheels, a signature blue body color, a rear diffuser, a steering wheel and front seats. The splitter was taken from a tuning kit for the Nissan GT-R coupe, as it fit better in width. After all the modifications, the 2.2-ton Hyundai iMax remained eight-seater, and the ideal axle weight distribution is achieved only at full load.

Hyundai iMax N Drift Bus will participate in various brand events in Australia.
