You know what would make the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N even sportier? How about measures to make it a true race car? That’s what Hyundai recently revealed with its eN1 Cup car.
What did the Korean automaker change from the street version? They swapped in slick tires, installed a body kit, ditched so…
Thanks for posting. I don't own (nor have I ever owned) a Hyundai, but I'm becoming a fanboy via the N branded vehicles and the investment in motorsports. If that N Festival ever came to a track near-ish me, I'd go. (Link has a few short moving images of this vehicle) https://www.hyundai-n.com/en/motorsport/hyundai-n-festival.do
I hope Hyundai brings it (or another one) to the US for a tour of some tracks. It would be cool to see this thing at #gridlife.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Agreed. Would love to see it do a tour here in the U.S.
4300# ?!
I think that's pretty light for an EV
That's a pretty ordinary weight for an EV, there are some lighter EVs out there around 3klbs.
I think it's heavier than our Model 3 in stock form. But a pretty big chunk of EV weight is in the battery pack, so you're never going to get them super-light without handicapping their power and range. The good news is that weight is really low and central so it's not as bad as it could be.
Gauntlet thrown, BMW, Porsche and Tesla! Let's see some factory level, EV sedan racing.

Now we're talking! I like your thinking.
Can't wait to hear it on track!
