#LAAUTOSHOW: Hyundai Keeps Toying With Mid-Engine Prototypes - Is There A Sports Car In The Future?

Hyundai N’s LA Auto Show debut is the RM19, the latest prototype in its RM series of mid-engine test vehicles.

Going by the full name of RM19 Racing Midship Sports Car Prototype, the vehicle serves as a development platform for future N brand products, including a potential brand-halo car. The Hyundai RM19’s key feature is its “Racing Midship” layout with a powerful engine placed just behind the two-seat cabin.

Mid engine sports car for MX-5 money a winner.

I could see this being done to improve the performance of the WRC car. But not as a consumer offering.

A Genesis MR2 for the price of $35K loaded would do that brand wonders.

Totally agree, if Toyota is too conservative to bring back the MR2 then let's hope one of the relative newcomers will do it.
