Hyundai has unveiled its latest electric performance marvel, the Ioniq 6 N, during the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex. Following the impressive Ioniq 5 N, this is Hyundai N Division’s second high-powered EV, bringing unparalleled speed and agility to the electric sedan market.
High-Performance Specs That Redefine EVs
The Ioniq 6 N boasts dual electric motors, delivering an astounding 650 PS and 770 Nm of torque. Engage Launch Control, and the Ioniq 6 N rockets from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 257 kmph. Built on Hyundai’s cutting-edge E-GMP platform, this model offers exceptional straight-line acceleration and agile cornering capabilities.
Advanced Engineering for Enhanced Performance
Hyundai’s engineers have overhauled the Ioniq 6 N’s suspension system, upgrading suspension geometry and introducing cutting-edge electronically controlled damping with stroke sensors. The result? A lower roll center, improved chassis balance, and remarkable stability at high speeds, especially through corners. These upgrades underscore Hyundai’s focus on delivering an electric sedan that seamlessly blends performance and control.
Backing the performance is the N Battery system, an innovative thermal management setup designed for intense track environments. Battery cooling technology has been refined to enable faster conditioning and enhanced energy flow, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
Immersive Driving Experience with N Technology
Hyundai’s N Division has gone beyond pure performance by focusing on driver engagement. The N e-Shift software simulates stepped gear changes, delivering the tactile experience of traditional performance vehicles. Paired with features like Drift Optimizer, Grin Boost, Launch Control, and Torque Distribution, the Ioniq 6 N provides precise throttle control and dynamic cornering feedback.
Adding to the sensory experience is the N Active Sound+ system, allowing drivers to choose sound profiles tailored to their driving mood, ranging from futuristic tones to a more aggressive growl. The Ambient Shift Light in the cabin visually highlights shifting points to amplify the sense of control and excitement.
Cutting-Edge Features for Enthusiasts
Hyundai has integrated a unique N Track Manager interface, allowing drivers to log lap times, build custom circuits, and compare runs through an engaging ghost mode. For drift enthusiasts, the Drift Optimizer fine-tunes drift initiation and angles based on surface grip and driver preferences. These tools are designed to give drivers unparalleled control and insights on both tracks and roads.
Aerodynamic Design That Demands Attention
The Ioniq 6 N isn’t just engineered for performance; it’s styled for it too. Aerodynamic enhancements include a swan-neck rear spoiler, flared wheel arches, and a lowered stance, all designed to improve airflow management and add a bold aesthetic appeal. The debut also features a stunning new “Performance Blue Pearl” finish, an evolution of Hyundai’s signature hue with added depth and texture for a premium look.
