Hillclimb Rocket
Hillclimb Rocket takes the 2022 Hyundai Elantra’s clean sedan silhouette and turns it into a purpose-built aero car—wide, low, and honest about what it’s for. The track is pushed to 1800mm up front and 1770mm rear with vented overfenders that relieve wheel-well pressure, while a 150mm extended nose and twin intercooler apertures keep charge temps stable when the road climbs and the air thins.
Out back, the story is downforce you can tune: a 2200mm electronically adjustable wing paired to an undercut diffuser that works with a sealed floor. It’s a modern hillclimb approach—big grip, big stability, and cooling that doesn’t blink—wrapped in a race-team-clean execution that still reads like an Elantra at first glance.

⌘
Aero Package
Full-width front splitter with support rods and endplate management
Flat underfloor with sealed transitions into an undercut rear diffuser
2200mm electronically adjustable rear wing on chassis-mounted uprights
Canard set and bumper corner strakes to stabilize yaw at turn-in
⟡
Chassis
Set up for alpine hillclimb pacing: short straights, heavy braking zones, and quick direction changes on narrow tarmac that’s often cold in the morning. The aero and cooling choices prioritize stability and repeatability as elevation changes and airflow conditions shift.
◎
Wheels & Tires
AP Racing forged magnesium wheels
square setup for rotation and tire management
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires sized to match the widened track and aero load
Extended studs
open-end motorsport lugs
and high-temp valve hardware
▤
Powertrain
Built 2.0L turbo inline-4 targeting ~410hp with emphasis on midrange and repeatability
Front-mount intercooler system optimized for sustained boost on climbs
Motorsport oil control and cooling upgrades for long high-load pulls
ECU calibration with boost-by-gear and traction strategy for tight exits
△
Fabrication Notes
Chassis-mounted wing uprights tied into rear structure to avoid trunk-skin loading
Splitter plane keyed to subframe points with replaceable wear edge for hillclimb debris
Wheel-arch venting shaped to reduce pressure buildup and keep steering light at speed
Underfloor and diffuser built with service access for drivetrain and exhaust routing
