But now the Japanese car company wants to get back on track with its freshly baked one Hyundai Ioniq 5N, a racing car that will take part in a one-on-one knockout sprint racing championship. Hyundai has had multiple opportunities to demonstrate that it is passionate about the sport, with its entry into the Pikes Peak International Hill Climbing event. With this car the company has truly outdone itself and is ready to flex its muscles in a frenetic race on the track. This new model takes up the N1 class of the Elantrabut it was not developed by just one manufacturer and supplier and this electric crossover has become even more extreme.
Hyundai: a lighter racing car
The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has had some changes compared to the version intended for road users. This one in fact weighs 300 kg less, or 1,969 kg. It achieves this weight despite the presence of a specific body kit equipped with aerodynamic bumpers, a large rear wing and improved wheel arches. This lower weight is characterized by carbon fiber bonnet, a lighter material, along with polycarbonate windows. Furthermore, it also has 18″ forged wheels with slick tires and has a super spartan cabin to keep the weight even further down. Finally it has a complete protective cage and a high voltage shutdown system. Other changes concern the adjustable suspension with two-level shock absorbers, a high voltage indicator and a charging port on the back of the car. Continue to have a dual clutch automatic transmission and they also confirmed the presence ofN Grin Boostwhich unlocks full power for 10 seconds.
