You’ve probably heard by now people saying on the internet that if they were to buy an EV, it would be the Ioniq 6. And these people are those who dislike/not interested in EVs (including me 😉). I think it’s mostly to do with the design; the Ioniq 6 looks absolutely stunning, doesn’t it? I like the pre-facelift version more. But anyway, joining the Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 6 N Line is the Ioniq 6 N, billed as the company’s second high-performance EV following the Ioniq 5 N. Prices are not out yet, but the model has been listed on Hyundai’s European websites.
The Ioniq 6 N put on a show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed recently; there was even a drift-spec version for some extra drama. Visually, the Ioniq 6 N is finished in Performance Blue paintwork with red accents. A new Performance Blue Pearl will be available to buyers, which adds a pearl finish to the paintwork. Motorsport-inspired elements include a swan neck rear wing and front & rear bumpers with air curtains. Those aero-optimized 20-inch black wheels look sweet as well; the wheels are wrapped with exclusive HN-marked Pirelli P-Zero 5 tyres.
Front and rear discs measure 400 mm and 360 mm, respectively. Hyundai claims to have fully redesigned the suspension geometry for the Ioniq 6 N, and there are also something called stroke sensing ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension) dampers.
Moving on to the juicy bits of the story, the Ioniq 6 N has two electric motors: one at the front and one at the rear, offering a combined power output of 448 kW or 609 metric hp and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) of torque.
If you press the NGB (N Grin Boost) button on the steering wheel, the power output jumps to 478 kW (650 metric hp), but only for 10 seconds, though. With N Launch Control, the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time is 3.2 seconds. The official top speed is 257 km/h (160 mph). Other features and gimmicks include the N Drift Optimizer, N e-Shift, and N Active Sound+. The e-Shift simulates motorsport-inspired close gear ratios.
The battery pack is of 84 kWh capacity, slightly larger than before, but the range is yet to be disclosed.
