    Hyundai i20: When Boxing and Rally Driving Collide

    In preparation for her Commonwealth Gold success in Glasgow, Nicola Adams took to the track with Hyundai Shell World Rally ace Thierry Neuville to test her nerve! 

 

In preparation for her Commonwealth Gold success in Glasgow, Nicola Adams took to the track with Hyundai Shell World Rally ace Thierry Neuville to test her nerve!

Indulging in her passion for fast cars and thrill seeking experiences, Nicola witnessed the Hyundai i20 WRC’s power around the Goodwood Forest Rally Stage, with Thierry pushing the high performance car to its limits for one high speed lap. In his debut year for Hyundai Shell World Rally Team, Thierry currently sits at 6th place in the World Rally Championship, hitting two podium finishes including 3rd place at Rally Poland and Mexico.

Two sports sharing similar exhilaration, later Thierry was treated to a boxing lesson by the Olympic and Commonwealth champion, proving to be more comfortable behind the wheel than when throwing shots!

Hyundai’s ethos revolves around new thinking for new possibilities and the i20 delivers by redefining drivers’ expectations. Ranging from the entry model 1.2 Classic up to the 1.4 CRDi Blue Drive, the i20 combines fuel efficiency and performance to achieve that optimum responsive driving experience. Visually the i20 packs a punch, elegantly portraying a grown up appearance through its fluid, sculptured body that cuts through the air and catches your attention. For a smart drive that offers big power at the cost of running of small car, the 1.6 ix20 thinks outside the box, aerodynamic in design whilst offering Hyundai renowned Blue Drive technologies, such as Stop & Go which cleverly conserves fuel through reactively switching off the engine when the ix20 comes to a halt (starting again when the clutch is activated). For more information on the i20 and ix20 range, visit your local Howards Hyundai dealership today or alternatively book a test drive to witness a fresh driving experience.

Thierry Neuville is in action next at the ADAC Rally Deutschland from August 21st with his Hyundai team mate Hayden Paddon. Howards Motor Group wish them both the best of luck!

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
