The racetrack succesful mannequin just lately entered its remaining section of functionality testing on the famend Nürburgring motorsports advanced in Germany.

Hyundai’s N and N Line efficiency variants are sub-brands of the Korean automaker, launched in 2017, however as Hyundai Motor Group continues to transition into a wholly electrical automaker, its efficiency models have begun to observe swimsuit.

Throughout the international premiere of the IONIQ 6 final summer time, we discovered that an N model IONIQ EVs are certainly coming. The tip of the video confirmed Hyundai’s first three E-GMP fashions cruising the monitor, abruptly joined by two further EVs we later discovered t be known as “rolling lab” N fashions.

On the identical time, Hyundai confirmed the IONIQ 5 EV could be the primary manufacturing mannequin to don the efficiency “N” badge. Nonetheless, we’d have to attend till March to get our first glimpse of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N in motion, tearing by way of snow up close to the Arctic Circle.

Since then, the crew at Hyundai N has continued to tease followers with video updates each couple months main as much as a summer time debut that has been promised for a while now. At the moment, Hyundai launched its remaining teaser episode earlier than the IONIQ 5 N is publicly debuted within the UK in the course of the N Model’s first-ever go to to the Goodwood Competition of Pace.

Per Hyundai, the video beneath showcases the N efficiency crew difficult the Nürburgring Nordschleife (North Loop) monitor as a way to validate the IONIQ 5 N and extract most efficiency – guaranteeing the EV meets the three pillars the sub-brand calls for from each car as a way to earn the “N” badge. These pillars are “nook rascal, racetrack functionality, and on a regular basis sportscar.”

Hyundai N believes it has achieved this with the IONIQ 5 due to its full-time presence at Nürburgring – an extension of Hyundai Motor’s R&D heart about an hour and a half away in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Vice chairman and head of Hyundai Motor’s N model & motorsport Until Wartenberg elaborated on the EV’s progress:

The Nürburgring is the place each N mannequin is honed to the Nth diploma, so our first high-performance, all-electric N mannequin should additionally show itself right here. IONIQ 5 N simply accomplished its 10,000 km sturdiness take a look at on the Nordschleife, which is a vital milestone that proves the car’s excessive endurance and racetrack functionality. And but, we simply started our second 10,000 km take a look at to push IONIQ 5 N’s limits.

You’ll see this characteristic within the video beneath.

One other considerably complicated factor you may discover within the teaser is the sounds the IONIQ 5 N is making. We guarantee you it’s all electrical, however the N engineers have developed and applied “N Energetic Sound +” and “N e-Shift.” The previous consists of a ten speaker system (two exterior) that simulates totally different car sounds by way of three distinct themes:

• Ignition: Simulates the two.0 turbo engine of N model ICE vehicles with pops and bangs
• Evolution: A signature electrical sound impressed bt the N 2025 Imaginative and prescient Gran Turismo Idea and RN22e
• Supersonic: Simulates a fighter jet. Sufficient stated.

Lastly, the N e-Shift correlated with the Energetic Sound + system to simulate an eight-speed twin clutch transmission. The options simulates a conventional gearshift by controlling the torque of the motors – delivering a jolt feeling many monitor drivers are nonetheless used to.
