- The dramatic concept is inspired by the world of video games and has a crazy design.
- We do not know what type of mechanical changes the brand has brought to the car.
- Hyundai will lift the veil on the Insteroid next month and will unveil it publicly.
In recent years, Hyundai has created several high performance electric concepts, proving to the world that it is determined to keep the cars fun and does not take itself too seriously. He seems to have done it again with his latest project, known as Insteroid.
This special offer, teased with several images and a video, takes it to the regular electric and completely transforms it by being inspired by video games. As you may have guessed, the name of the car is a portman of “Instining” and “steroid” and will be revealed in the flesh in early April.

The car seems to share very little in common with the ordinary Instining. The brand new body was made for the concept, including massive escape passages at the front and back, not different from those of the Hyundai i20 N WRC car. The cabin seems completely stripped and we can see a roller cage.
Elsewhere, the designers of Hyundai have designed a set of intriguing aeroded wheels for Instteroid and created an imposing rear wing for it.
Several teasers of the car shared on social networks show that it will be complete with a raft of bright orange accents and a ghost logo which seems to have been drawn directly from Pac-Man. A teaser shows some of the interior instruments of the car, including boost buttons, driving mode settings and a track mode. There also seems to be orange safety belts.
According to Hyundai, Insteroid is an “exciting glitch” in the automotive matrix, transparently merging the aesthetics which pushes the borders of video games with real world engineering to create a vehicle that has the impression that it comes straight from a digital fast way. »»
The Road Inster, which is itself based on the Casper, is sold with a single electric motor delivering 95 hp in the base of 113 hp in the flagship version. Hoping that Hyundai adapts to a more powerful motorcycle group at Instteroid, perhaps the same double-engine configuration as the IONIQ 5 N which is used by the RN24 Rolling Lab model presented last year.
