Introduced for the first time in June last year, the Hyundai Inster is a rather cutesy subcompact electric vehicle.

Soon, it will have a more aggressive and ferocious-looking twin known as the Insteroid.

According to Hyundai, the name Insteroid is derived from a combination of ‘Inster’ and ‘Steroid’. While full reveal will only happen sometime in early April, this official teaser provides a glimpse of the model’s design.

From what we can see, the Insteroid features round headlights and the brand’s signature pixel LED lights similar to the Inster. But beyond that, it is an entirely different machine.

This is due to the Insteroid being fitted with a wide body kit and a massive rear spoiler designed based on racing video games. To these eyes, it looks exactly like a WRC car.

Additionally, the Insteroid boasts a roof scoop, air vents on the wheel arches, a prominent rear diffuser, and 21-inch disc wheels. The interior has yet to be revealed, but it is clear that space has been stripped out to make room for a roll cage.

The technical specifications of the Insteroid are also still unknown but given that it is equipped with a Boost button and Track mode, it is undoubtedly more powerful and exciting to drive compared to the car it’s based on.

As a refresher, the Inster, which Hyundai claims is enjoying strong sales in South Korea and Europe, is powered by a single electric motor delivering 97 PS in the Standard version or 115 PS in the Long Range version.
