Ever drive a car with “Corner Rascal capabilities?” You’ll soon be able to now that Hyundai has officially unveiled the Ioniq 5 N during the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
We know why you are here, so we’ll cut right to it: 600 horsepower (222 up front, 378 in the rear) and a 0-60 time of approximately 3.4 seconds. Similar …
And before you ask, yes, the simulated shifting, engine note and haptic enhancements are all turn-offable.
However, hot take: Simulated engine notes and haptic feedback are cool and can enhance the driving experience if properly implemented.
Let the one who has never made zoomzoom neeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaarrrrrummmm sounds cast the first stone.
I'm eager to find out 3 key missing data points:
In reply to IKR :
I'd also add: how many laps until the batteries overheat/depelete?
The top trim Ioniq5 is close to $58k. This could be a $65-70k car...before the inevitably dealer markups
Specs and size line up with a Model Y Performance reasonably well. Except this has ~150hp more, and the Model Y Performance starts at just $54k these days which this seems unlikely to beat.
In reply to IKR :
They don't want us to know how much it weighs, is what I'm gathering from that omission.
It looks cool.

Hyundai has said their target goal is two laps of the Nordshleife, which means 20+ minutes of track time.
Range will likely be better than the current Ionic 5 due the larger motors and the increased battery capacity. Weight is probably not going to be significantly different than the current 5, other than heavier brakes. That's roughly 4500 lbs in AWD form, not far off the current M5.

Thanks for the information. I'm trying real hard not to be a Neanderthal when it comes to EVs but when I keep hearing curb weights of 4500+ lbs I have a hard time grasping how something like that will fare on more technical tracks with slower turns or even a twisty road. The Lotus, Colin Chapman, weight is evil is philosophy is stuck in my prehistoric brain
In reply to IKR :
The Caterham project is probably more relevant to your interests than a big CUV.

My Toyobaru once had a top speed limiter like this, but one reflash later...
Edit: Whoops, somehow read "un-turn-offable" instead of "all turn-offable"...upgrade unlocked, sweet!

- Weight
- Driving range
- ~Cost
I'm guessing it'll be close to $70k-80k.
Driving range is anyones guess.
Keith hit the weight point.
This is cool and I really hope they put to market that Concept 74 car too.
So, anyone at Goodwood willing to ask Hyundai when they are going to bring me THIS ? I5N is cool.... but this would be a lot cooler.

Maybe, in a Ford Transit.
I, for one, welcome our new electron overlords.

I wouldn't want to play Forza or Gran Tourismo without them
