Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Will Let Owners Go Supersonic

Hyundai says the system offers up to 0.6g of braking force through regenerative braking alone - an industry-leading figure. The regen system works even when ABS is activated, with a maximum of 0.2g braking force. The hydraulic brake system makes use of 15.7-inch discs that have been designed for maximum cooling. Thanks to the unique regenerative braking system, the disc brakes have an increased lifespan compared to gas-powered rivals.

We can also hear the N Active Sound+artificial noise generatorin action. While it's synthetic, there's no denying that it sounds rather good and lends the performance EV plenty of character. There are three distinct sounds: Ignition, Evolution, and Supersonic.

Ignition is inspired by the characteristic sound of Hyundai N's gasoline-powered offerings, repletewith characteristic pops and bangs.

Evolution is an N-exclusive sound inspired by the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo andRN22e conceptcars. This is simply described as an electronic noise and probably pipes a futuristic sound into the cabin. Finally, we have Supersonic, which takes inspiration from fighter jets. Hyundai says the owner can customize all these sounds. The system uses 10 speakers, with eight in the cabin and two on the exterior.

N Active Sound+ operates in conjunction with the N e-Shift,which simulates an eight-speed DCT. It's rather clever and acts like a conventional transmission by controlling the torque output. When the driver shifts gear, the N e-Shift system sends a jolt through the system for a more authentic feel.

Hyundai says the idea is to make drivers of combustion-engined cars feel more comfortable behind the wheel and create an experience similar to ICE vehicles.

The Ioniq 5 N has covered 6,200 miles at the iconic Nordschleife circuit during the development process. Before the vehicle heads to production, Hyundai will put the performance EV through an additional 6,200-mile durability test to ensure the Ioniq 5 N is as durable as possible.

The Korean brand is yet to share any performance figures, but company officials have suggested as much as 620 horsepower. This is yet to be finalized, though. Regardless of the final output, the Ioniq 5 N will be among the most exciting EVs ever to grace our roads.

一个s mentioned, the latest N performance product will steal the show at next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not only is it Hyundai N's first time participating, but an array of N-branded vehicles will participate in the hill climb, including the N Vision 74 -Hyundai's hydrogen-powered, retro-inspired concept car.
