Hyundai unveiled the Electrified RM20e Racing Midship (RM20e) prototype electric sports car at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition 2020 in Beijing.

Since the launch of the project, a number of RM series models have been created, including RM14, RM15, RM16, and RM19. In 2019, Hyundai’s first electric racing car for the TCR series of electric touring vehicles was developed: the Veloster N TCR unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
RM prototypes are used to test advanced technologies, find ways to increase performance, and improve them for use in future models of the Hyundai N family.
