The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N makes its official debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed . This is the first fully electric high-performance N-brand model, a car that aims to entertain all those who will be lucky enough to drive it not only on the road but also on the track.
In this model, the Korean manufacturer wanted to combine the E-GMP platformunderpinning the IONIQ 5 that we know well, with technologies derived from motorsports. The result is a car with 478 kW/650 HP, four-wheel drive and a series of refined solutions to be able to give the maximum between the bends of a track. No mention of prices. In the dealerships will arrive during the first half; of 2024.
DESIGN AND INTERIORS 
Hyundai has revised the look of its electric crossover to make it more comfortable. aggressive thanks to a new dedicated body kit. However, the modifications do not only have an aesthetic value as they were also made to optimize aerodynamics.
The wheel arches are more; wide and frontally we can see the presence of a redesigned bumper with new more air intakes; big. Also new are the black miniskirts with red details. Behind, however, we can see the presence of a large diffuser and a spoiler on the roof more; larger than that of the "classic" model.
The N model is further distinguished from the standard IONIQ 5 also by a more streamlined set-up. low by 20 mm. In addition, it is more 50 mm wide at the bottom to accommodate 21-inch wheelswhich adopt Pirelli P Zero 275/35R21 tyres. The length also grows by 80 mm due to the presence of the new diffuser. Thus, the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N measures 4,715 mm long x 1,940 mm wide x 1,585 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm.
For the IONIQ 5 N, Hyundai has the interiors have also been revised. For example, the three-spoke steering wheel features the N logo in the center and has two selectors used to set the mode. driving. The N Grin Boost (NGB) button positioned on the right spoke is very important, which allows you to have maximum powertrain performance for a limited period (10 seconds).
The N seats, positioned 20 mm further; lower than those of the standard IONIQ 5, they are equipped with reinforcements, so that even in the event of strong lateral acceleration during cornering, they firmly support the upper and lower body to maintain a stable posture at all times. The center console of the IONIQ 5 N is equipped with a central console. Revised for track riding with knee pads. The pedals of the car are also; been redesigned for track use. Digital instrumentation and infotainment system have been updated to have graphics dedicated to this model. For the interior, however, Hyundai has continued to use sustainable materials.
ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE 
The new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has a powertrain consisting of 2 electric motors. Therefore, it is All-wheel drive is also present. As mentioned at the beginning, there are available478 kW/650 HP by activating the N Grin Boost function (448 kW/609 HP without using the extra boost). The front engine delivers 166 kW/226 hp (175 kW/238 hp with boost) and the rear 282 kW/383 hp (303 kW/412 hp with boost). The maximum torque is of 770 Nm.
Everything is perfect. powered by an 84 kWh battery. Autonomy is not an option. been declared. Hyundai will communicate this detail more; after you. According to the manufacturer, from a 350 kW direct current column, 18 minutes will be enough to go from 10% to 80% of the charge. Speaking of performance, the speed is the same. maximum reaches 260 km/h, while going from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 3.4 seconds (using the boost function).
Compared to the standard IONIQ 5, thebraking systemit is has obviously been revised to be able to handle the significant increase in performance. Therefore, we find 400 mm diameter front discs and four-piston monobloc calipers and 360 mm rear discs. The regenerative braking system is also improved. It has been improved and, depending on the chosen configuration, it can be improved. offer decelerations of up to 0.6 g.
The idea was that of that of maximizing the use of regenerative brakingto minimize brake fatigue during heavy track use. This new model also has a whole series of expedients that make it possible to further optimize the use of the car around the bends of a circuit. had told Hyundai in the past, the IONIQ 5 N has a sophisticated battery thermal management system. Before driving, you can take a look at the vehicle. use the preconditioning function "N Battery Pre-conditioning" to bring the battery cells to the coldest temperature; efficient in terms of power, choosing between the mode; “Drag” for a few periods at full power, and the mode; “Track” which maintains the temperature more; lowest possible battery for a higher number of revolutions.
There is then the N Race function which offers drivers direct control over energy management. In particular, it will be possible to choose between the mode; “Endurance” and the “Sprint” one. The first increases autonomy on the track, limiting peak power, with more power. slow rise in temperature. The second, however, gives; the priority is to power and provides smoother peaks. short bursts of maximum energy. There is also the launch control with three different levels of traction and the N Drift Optimizer which allows you to favor sideways driving.
Finally, to favor the greatest possible involvement during driving, the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N features the N e-shift and N Active Sound + functions. Specifically, N e-shift simulates the gear changes of the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. of the N models with endothermic engine, controlling the torque delivery and simulating the detachment between one gear and the next. Instead, the N Active Sound+ reproduces the sound of classic endothermic engines.
