⟿ The ultimate Nissan Z race car, new Hyundai Kona, 12 KEIs of Christmas

βš‘ Race cars.

More specifically: Canadian race cars. I’ve been following Sasha Anis since his time in the Canadian Touring Car Championship, and have been rooting for both his Tesla-oriented Mountain Pass Performance business (scoring Tesla’s first-ever racing win) and his Nissan 350Z race car build, β€˜Kels’.

Mind you, progress on the Z has taken a while…but this project has aged like a fine wine.

cont’d below…

Substantially largerβ€”150mm longer (5.9 in), 25mm (0.98 in) wider, with a 60mm (2.3 in) longer wheelbase, Hyundai’s latest segment-stealing design drops with the new KONA.

Do other car manufacturers sit back and let Hyundai steal even more market share? It’s clear thatβ€”one by oneβ€”the β€˜IONIQifation’ of this marque has only attracted more customers and positive reactions worldwide. Now, it’s the Kona compact crossover’s turn to shine.

There’s not a lot to go on that you can’t glean from the pictures, but know that Hyundai is smartly promising that the car will be available in EV, ICE, Hybrid, and N-Line trimsβ€”offering something for everyone.

Pricing, availability, and other details aren’t available yet. So commit this new shape to memory, and if you’re in the market…start saving for a Kona that’ll likely command a larger price.

What do you think?
