Hyundai Accent WRC

Automobiles

The Hyundai Accent WRC is a World Rally Car built for the Hyundai Castrol World Rally Team by Motor Sport Developments to compete in the World Rally Championship. Based on the Hyundai Accent road car, it debuted at the 2000 Rally Sweden after development and testing in 1999. It competed in an official capacity from 2000 to 2003 and spawned three generations: the Accent WRC2 added revised aerodynamics, an active front differential, longer suspension travel and improved top mounts, and the Accent WRC3, with new dampers and engine internals, debuted at the 2002 Tour de Corse. Its best result in a WRC event was a fourth place. Drivers included Juha Kankkunen, Kenneth Eriksson, Alister McRae, Freddy Loix and Armin Schwarz. Development was virtually halted in 2003 because of budget constraints, and in September Hyundai announced its withdrawal from the WRC, returning in 2014 with the Hyundai i20 WRC.
