Forward of its world premiere on the annual Goodwood Competition of Pace in July, Hyundai Motor is teasing the general public with one final video of its upcoming performance-focused IONIQ 5 N EV. The racetrack succesful mannequin lately entered its remaining part of functionality testing on the famend Nürburgring motorsports complicated 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 completely electrical automaker, its efficiency items have begun to observe swimsuit.

Through the world premiere of the IONIQ 6 final summer season, we realized that an N model IONIQ EVs are certainly coming. The top of the video confirmed Hyundai’s first three E-GMP fashions cruising the monitor, immediately joined by two extra EVs we later realized t be known as “rolling lab” N fashions.

On the similar 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 means 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 season 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 through 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 in an effort to validate the IONIQ 5 N and extract most efficiency – making certain the EV meets the three pillars the sub-brand calls for from each car in an effort 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 because of its full-time presence at Nürburgring – an extension of Hyundai Motor’s R&D middle about an hour and a half away in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Vp 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.

The crew shared it has launched a motorsport-derived method to its first ever N EV, together with a two-mode battery preconditioning system, and “N Race” which provides the driving force direct management of the IONIQ 5’s power utilization, prioritizes by most vary (endurance) or full energy (dash). 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 Lively Sound +” and “N e-Shift.” The previous consists of a ten speaker system (two exterior) that simulates completely different car sounds by means 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 mentioned.

Lastly, the N e-Shift correlated with the Lively 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.

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is about to make its world premiere on the Hyundai N stand at Goodwood on July 13. Within the meantime, right here’s that teaser video, full with simulated gear shift noises. What a time to be alive.
