"Hyundai Motorsport has always been an odd beast. Remember when Rhys Millen drove a Genesis Coupe to the Pikes Peak record (you know, before it was paved), and the company responded by immediately pulling out of North American competition? Strange stuff. Now, after an 11-year hiatus, Hyundai is back in professional rally and has unveiled its i20 WRC competition car. PHOTOS: 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb As previously indicated, the i20 WRC will make its racing debut at Monte Carlo next month. Our first glimpse of the car (donning placeholder livery) came back in 2012 at the Paris Motor Show. A clip of the i20 undergoing dynamic tests in psychedelic camo recently surfaced: It looks fast and sounds brutal (skip to 0:35 for straight-pipe goodness).      Thierry Neuville, the 25-year-old driver shown in the video who previously ran with Citro\u00EBn&amp;#039;s Junior Team, will be the lead pilot, while former Super 2000 World Rally champ Juho H\u00E4nninen will man the second i20 racer. Veterans Dani Sordo and Chris Atkinson will co-drive. PHOTOS: 2015 Hyundai Genesis Also worth noting is that Hyundai teased a future &amp;quot;N&amp;quot; line of performance cars, likely debuting with a hothatch version of the i20 in 2015, followed by a tuned Veloster Turbo and Genesis Coupe.
