Hyundai N: Electric power in abundance 🎥
POWER BOLTS The Festival of Speed in Goodwood is becoming a playground for high-performance cars. In the compact Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, for example, 448 kW (650 hp) are balanced on all four wheels.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which celebrated its world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (see video), sets new standards for compact high-performance electric vehicles. As Hyundai N's first electric car, it represents a new segment of driver-oriented high-performance vehicles. The new model combines the standard model's Electrified Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) with N's motorsport technology, maximizing performance and ensuring the vehicle meets the three performance pillars of cornering predator, track capability and everyday sports car.
Sharper turn-in behavior
To further increase the cornering dynamics of the Ioniq 5 N compared with the base model, improvements were made to the body-in-white structure - through additional welding points and more bonding. In addition, a subframe ensures greater rigidity. To improve steering response and feedback, the steering column has also been reinforced. The N-pedal was developed to improve the turn-in and cornering behavior of the larger electric cars. It was based on the responsive handling characteristics of the i20 N WRC, with which Hyundai won the World Rally Championship.
Fast drifts are also possible
The N Drift Optimizer helps to drive long drifts with a constant angle. To do this, several control parameters of the Ioniq 5 N are balanced in real time. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick of a rear-wheel-drive combustion vehicle. N Torque Distribution also enables variable torque distribution between the front and rear axles.
Together, the electric motors produce 478 kW (650 hp) with N Grin Boost activated. This enables the Ioniq 5 N to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
