THIS is what top level WRC should be!!! This thing is ridiculously fast. Basically a group b car with modern aero, suspension, and tires and it’s so glorious
We can't control the road in real life rally. This is absolutely too fast. This would be death trap on icy mountain roads. Nice hill climb car nevertheless.
Agreed! Funny thing is they've been entering rally races for over 20 years now. I still have a poster tucked away that I got when I bought my 98 Tiburon of them running Tiburons in stock classes. That may or may have inspired me to put studded snows on mine and do terrible things with it in New England winters....
I love the idea of modern group b, it's awesome. The bad thing here is it's almost too much power, he's spinning way more than he has traction. I would love to see 5 or 600 hp cars in wrc today. With 2022 hybrid rules, there will be close to 500hp total, the question is, will they let them utilize all the hp on any of the tracks or super stages?.....
Woah,never thought Hyundai i20 can be turned into such a beast.Sure,there is WRC variant,but this thing has double the output and aero and is faster.Paddon behind the wheel makes it look easy.Impressive skill,speed and control-what a driver.This car is unrestricted WRC in a nutshell.Thanks for sharing such a unique and crazy monster.
Thank you Hyundai for stepping up and being bad ass. Have a 18' Elantra Sport now and it's a blast. Think my next car is going to be the Veloster N in Red
I know I'm "old" now by today's standards, but if you look up a 1998 Hyundai Excel - That is what I will always see when I think of Hyundai. I will also always remember that the dealerships in my area at the time were doing buy one / get one free deals on them.
That’s one mean Hyundai, the aerodynamic package looks like a lot of effort went into making it what it is. Does anyone else feel like the engine immediately stall under engine deceleration? I was too caught up to notice it from the outside, but there was an immediate dead silence when ever he released the throttle from high load scenarios. I went back to look at the beginning where you could hear from the outside and same, the engine goes dead silent under deceleration. I doubt these engines are setup to employ extensive engine brake, and I’m not saying that there’s something wrong, I’m just saying that I picked up on it and it made me super curious. As always, super cool video, thanks.
I think its from the effects of the massive, massive turbo lag out of pushing a tiny engine that tiny. Shorter gearing and usage of anti-lag as he gets back on the throttle I think in turn more than makes up for it.
Sadly I could never watch this event in person. I'd die of an acute asthma attack from all the plumes of dust being thrown into the atmosphere by this beast of a rally car.
Thats a NewZealand built hyundai and their Motorsports program in NewZealand as he does not race in WRC anymore sad though. I think New Zealand builds better Hyundais than the europeans in WRC. As Rally New Zealand have their own rally category class which has a high Hp output limit than the WRC cars.
@@thelonewolf_nz7640 Yes, but the NZRC still doesnt have a horsepower limit. If you followed all the rules, and were stupid enough to try and run a 2 day rally in a 1k HP car you could. Unfortunatly thats expensive, and not super viable for Nz;s roads, etc etc
Me parece , una exquisitez oir , este sonido . Que vuelva los ochenta y esa época ideal de la vida de los humanos en este mundo . Quiero seguir en los ochenta , la mejor época del mundo . Hermanos libres , con dinero , había fiesta , se sentía la felicidad . Y tener este sonido para ya ser completamente feliz es un deleite tio
Jesus wept that's f****in awesome!! would love too see a series aside from WRC where guys with cars like these can run, where "regulations" help the product. Bring Group B for us real rally fans.
It's a modern GroupeB! Woooww!! (we should have a discussion about this for 2021😉 A new GroupB? Another modern way.. What about a "GroupSAC" for "Security Animed by Competition" 😉🤔🤔🤔😎 With a perfect driver like him this must be very very good prepared to "swing like this"...!! 😱

People hate on hyundai. But they're making BIG noise in the rally world right now
The only people i see hating on Hyundai are car snobs.
The same kind of people who hated japanese brands when they started being known worldwide...

You mean the people who used to work for Audi, VW and BMW, but now work in Hyundai, do it.
who hates on Hyundai? They've done more innovative stuff over the last couple of years than most others companies.
@Frank White The company has done a complete 180 in the past 3 years and will replace the dominance of Honda if they don't change
This is what a Group B would look and feel like if they were to still exist to this day
Pretty much. Thankfully Hillclimb Racing exists sow e can have a glimpse into that timeline ;)
I would say this is on par, just a whole lot safer for driver and crowd!
I remember watching them in the 80’s
My fave was the Lancia delta s4🤤
I was thinking the same thing and I was going to make that same comment hahaha
Oggi le Gruppo B avrebbero almeno 1200-1300 cv... 😉😂
Thank you for the detailed description. This car is nuts!
Awlays glad to provide useful info ;)
when he first pulls 5th gear i was thinking next jump hes going to end up on mars , top vid bloody amazing thanks for sharing
This i20 is mental! Looks like a WRC car and a DTM car had a baby!
it is an ex wrc car lol
@@ciello___8307 yup! With just a little more aero!
Without doubt my favourite channel for drooling over insane cars and listening to orgasmic engine sounds and seeing unreal driving skills.
The thing looks like a WRC car on anabolic steroids... and it's scary!!!!
Well, it looks like on because in a way...it is one!
HillClimb Monsters, because*
Hyundai: Kicks Hayden Paddon
Hayden Paddon: Fine i will do it myself.
My man drives a modern Group B car. What a madlad!
Im very proud of Hyundai i20
- A big fan of hillclimb from S.Korea
Hyundai has come a long long way, this is easily the craziest one I have ever seen.
Not sure Hyundai had much to do with this one. It was built by Paddon Motorsport
komputaz yup definitely this thing is too freaking wild to be a regular manufacturer car.
@@komputaz Hyundai nz had a lot to do with this
That 2nd corner was blessfuly brilliant n the launch love the veiw!
I love the idea of modern group b, it's awesome.

Graphics are a bit better :P
@Mike JJJ indeed
yo thats what i thought too
@@HillClimbMonsters ahahah winn 😂
The power is relentless. A real snarl from the engine...love it! Mighty stage, too.
This needs to race Pikes Peak!! Omg it would be fast
There´s may be a real chance it can happen...
Yes it's probably a test session to take notes and testing some powers up..
And why this video is on a same condition to prepare a car for this... 🤔😉
@@nad4546 But isn't Pikes Peak all tarmac now meaning all the data they collect from this session is useless?
Ashley Wilson correct! And no co drivers allowed on pikes peak
@@connormoberly5032 He didn't use a codriver for this event either... He just took people for rides
Absolutely awesome 👍 what a road & stunning driving from Hayden too 🇳🇿👏🇳🇿👏🇳🇿👏🇳🇿🏁🏆🍾🏁
yeah hayden. still out there doing it even if not in the wrc. thats awesome. that thing is a monster... 800hp?! holy smokes.
i just watched this incredible video. went to comment. it appears ive been here before, lol.
Really enjoyed. Many likes/love for whistle of turbo from cockpit
Beautiful turbo sound, and good timing
Be so great to see Hayden back in the WRC.
AP4 Generation is so beautiful
Would love to see Hayden follow this up with a run in a proper WRC car, just to see how much faster this modern 'Group B' version would thrash it.
Hyundai engineer A: We have to make a DTM car
Hyundai engineer B: No, we have to build a WRC car
Chief of Hyundai engineer: Oh fuck, I've got an idea
Damn. When Han asked Sean if he was going to give him a Hyundai, maybe he should have. Cause this is next level.

LOOVE rally videos ❤️❤️❤️
Group B Vibes
Nobody:
This car when it passes near the cameraman: BWAAAAAH
That's what i love Rally! ! !
Sick as f!!! I love rallye cross cars in general, but this is a special one. 🤘🏻👌🏻
This guy can drive!
Met the driver in the weekend at another event. He finished 1st in his new electric hybrid he's certainly talented behind the wheel
That first shot was incredible
Wait there's a hillclimb event at Ben Nevis??? How did I not know this! The stage and the surrounding terrain look awesome!
Yeah it's new that was the first event there I think it was around January they're aiming to do one a year
Insane car, and the driver is thrashing the shit out of it awesome 👌
Great driving mate🚗. Safe on the roads👊💪👍🙏😎💯
The sound is amazing. What a machine
This hill is SICK!! 🤘

It is like a small and very fast RC car with that high pitch sound.
This is the car that should be racing on today's WRC stages.
Looks like Group B Pikes Peak cars merged with Hyundai i20 WRC. So great!
BRING BACK THE GROUP B.
AMAZING.
Been some stuff over the last few years to make you think someone is toying with the idea to bring back Group B in a modern way
Worlds first theramin-powered car!
Reminds me so much of Monster Tajimas Escudo.
Very similar wedgy shape.
As you say Pikes Peak-worth aero.
Sadly I could never watch this event in person. I'd die of an acute asthma attack from all the plumes of dust being thrown into the atmosphere by this beast of a rally car.
This is how rally car should sound like!
Awesome Driving Skill!!!!
The way it looks scares me. It looks mental
OMG!!! spooky his driving blind!! it's flying!
This is what the wrc should be.
Wish WRC could be like this!!
Nice video☺
Thanks ;)
Nasty!! Look at it eat up the dirt.
absolute madlad
this thing makes a wrc car look jealeous
He should still be driving in the WRC.
GROUP B LIVES IN 2020!!
And Codemasters thinks we want more Horizonish hooning around instead of a more core rally sim.. 🤦♂️

As Rally New Zealand have their own rally category class which has a high Hp output limit than the WRC cars.
whats that category? now i need some vids of that :]
Wrong. This is unlimited hill climb. Closed roads and just one road repeated through the day. This car can be converted to AP4 for rally though.
@@thelonewolf_nz7640 Yes, but the NZRC still doesnt have a horsepower limit. If you followed all the rules, and were stupid enough to try and run a 2 day rally in a 1k HP car you could. Unfortunatly thats expensive, and not super viable for Nz;s roads, etc etc
@@adrianalonso6625 AP4 cars, category 1 in the NZ Rally Champs
Modern day group b
Oooooh yes I hope!!!
One day... Maybe...
What an awesome little beast.
This should be WRC!
That's what WRC should be.
Fucking mental.
This ladies and gentlemen, is modern group B
0:54 sounds like heaven!
U should showed his leg movement also.. Great co ordination is required n quick instinct..

The way this car cornering sideways, daaamn
Insane great driving 👍
I'm amazed that a 800bhp Hyundai even exists
This car is better like every men!!!!
very fast and looks very controlled the transition direction change was almost cartoon animated fast
It pulls just as hard in every gear, just the amount of potential death goes up rapidly
Beast mode 🤯
Absolute beast!!!
Jesus wept that's f****in awesome!! would love too see a series aside from WRC where guys with cars like these can run, where "regulations" help the product. Bring Group B for us real rally fans.
The words “pure purpose” translated into sight .
A 800HP 4 wheel drive i20?.... Holly shit.
Youve come a long way since i first saw u in waitomo 2008 rally .those were the days huh HP ?
This is what WRC should have looked like.
If a kiwi, the small nation's icon.
Were to dance, Hayden Paddon is showing it.
Take note
Samir... great job🚗
Me trying to get to my fishing spot.
LOL but for me this is the fish getting away
👍
This is lovely
Satisfying!
floating to the top of the mountain
how'd they turn the i20 from the grocery parking lot into this?
It's a modern GroupeB! Woooww!!
(we should have a discussion about this for 2021😉
A new GroupB?
Another modern way.. What about a "GroupSAC" for "Security Animed by Competition" 😉🤔🤔🤔😎
With a perfect driver like him this must be very very good prepared to "swing like this"...!! 😱
wow wow wow, and RHD as well
How awesome would it be if this was your daily commute to work ☺️
This is a private track on a farm 👌
@@thelonewolf_nz7640 No its a public road, but there isn't much except farms on the road.
@@thelonewolf_nz7640 public road buddy! Also Hayden Paddons testing ground
My gosh... I only imagine that power in the WRC... New group B?
An I20 with 800HP? holy mother of god
That is one seriously pissed off Hyundai
Over800 hp 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Hyundai NO.1
He is returning to wrc as a privateer it seems
We´ll see. He certainly has the talent 👍
Will he Drive a Ford? Or is Hyundai going to start selling a WRC car?
Another brand selling WRC would be great
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt from his instagram it seems because he was a factory driver hyundai gave/loaned/sold him a car to participate with.
