An Elantra N with more downforce and beefier brakes? Hyundai has you covered.
While the Elantra N TCR Edition isn’t any more powerful than the standard N model, Hyundai worked to make it more capable on track.
In addition to an adjustable carbon fiber swan neck spoiler, the TCR Edition also features “N Performance” four-piston brakes and exclusive–and lighter–19-inch …

Assuming this even makes it to the US, I wonder what the wing does for SCCA TT classing
The stock wing is my least favorite aspect of the current EN design. This upgraded one is not an improvement IMO.
There are some other neat parts in this package but nothing that makes me want to run out and upgrade my '24 to a TCR edition.
That said, it's nice to see Hyunadi continue supporting this car instead of letting it die.

Same here with my '22, If anything the bigger brakes may limit track friendly 18" wheel choices.

The hard parts shouldn't affect classing as brake upgrades are legal even in the Sport division. But the wing is a different matter. We struggle with factory aero packages in TT classing board meetings because they literally run the gamut from making a particular much better to making it actually worse and actually quantifying the performance would be a daunting task that would take immense resources. As a result, "real" aero—especially when it's attached to a limited edition model—tends to get something bounced right to Max.
Is that a perfect solution? Not really, but in the absence of proper testing it always feels like th most reasonable option.
It's also worth mentioning that the bulk of the package (brakes, trim, wheels) is already available on Hyundai's website for current cars. I'd love it if this package included more power, but I've rarely met a set of upgraded brakes I didn't like, especially when they're bolted an al already-awesome chassis.

Do you have a link for that?
