With Hyundai's N division transitioning towards electric cars, the 641bhp Ioniq 5 N is first to step up...
There’s no word on how much the N model weighs, but we expect it to surpass the dual-motor Ioniq 5’s 2045kg figure due to its bigger battery. Its range figure is also yet to be announced, but for reference, the 320bhp, 77kWh Ioniq 5 Premium achieves 298 miles from a full charge.
On a track, the driver can use the car’s N Race feature to optimise energy deployment throughout a lap, with Sprint mode offering peak power and the Endurance setting limiting energy consumption and heat build-up. Thanks to a revised regen system that offers up to 0.6 g of deceleration, the Ioniq 5 N puts less stress on its physical brakes, which comprise enormous 400mm front discs with four-pot calipers and 360mm discs at the rear.
To increase its cornering potential, the Ioniq 5 N uses a fiendishly complex combination of software and hardware designed to minimise the impression of weight from behind the wheel while working all four Pirelli P Zero tyres evenly. The dual-motor setup enables a fully variable torque split front to rear, with an electronic limited-slip differential distributing power between the rear wheels.
With its redesigned black front facia, red accents and extended rear diffuser, the Ioniq 5 N has gained a similarly aggressive makeover to the i20 N and i30 N before it. The aero package – with includes subtle flicks in the front bumper and sills and a new rear spoiler – is said to be functional rather than purely design led, while the interior has gained a sportier feel with a button-festooned N steering wheel, darkened trim surfaces and sports seats mounted 20mm closer to the ground.
Pricing and availability haven’t yet been announced for the Ioniq 5 N, but it’s almost certain to cost more than the £62,645, 577bhp
