Hyundai N (Korean현대 N) is a sub-brand of high-performance cars, engines, and related technologies established in 2012 by Hyundai.[1][2]

Hyundai claims the "N" refers to two elements. First, the Namyang district in South Korea, home of Hyundai's Global Research & Development Center where the brand 'N' was founded; second, the over 20 km long Nordschleife northern loop of the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, home to Hyundai's European Technical Center and where all the 'N' models are tested - and many other brands, too. The 'N' logo was inspired by the shape of chicanes in racing circuits.[2][3]

The first 'N'-branded vehicle produced was the i30 N, which debuted in 2016.
