Hyundai has teased a new race car concept based on the diminutive Inster - the EV derivative of the Casper micro-SUV. Named the Insteroid, the micro-SUV features extensive changes to the body shell and aerodynamics, including more pronounced bumpers, overexaggerated flared fenders, and a massive World Rally Championship (WRC)- style rear wing. The teasers also provide a glimpse at a roll cage within the cabin.

Hyundai says the Insteroid name is inspired by the electric micro-SUV’s name and ‘steroid’ and reflects its ‘funky, youthful, and muscular nature.’ The teaser images reveal that the one-off creation undergoes extensive changes over the standard Inster, including a redesigned front bumper with more aggressive aero elements, overexaggerated fender flares with venting and ducting, vents on the bonnet, large 21-inch wheels with aero covers, a WRC-style rear wing, and a new rear bumper with a large diffuser element.

Elements such as the large circular lighting elements at the front and rear and the pixel LED lighting are retained from the production EV.The images also provide glimpses of the interior, revealing a roll cage, stripped-down cabin and a WRC-inspired vertical lever-style hand brake.

Other Upcoming Hyundai Models are the Ioniq 6, New Venue, New i20, Nexo, New Verna and Palisade
