Hyundai Ioniq 5 N vem com mudanças de marcha falsas, som do limitador de rotação

In case you've missed the memo, Hyundai is putting the finishing touches on its first electric N model. The winner of the Motor1.com 2022 Editors' Choice Award receberá o tratamento de alto desempenho em 2023, provavelmente em linha com o Kia EV6 GT mecanicamente relacionado. Como os entusiastas ainda não estão dispostos a desistir das emoções proporcionadas por um carro esportivo movido a gasolina, a marca sul-coreana vem trabalhando em sons artificiais para imitar um ICE.

Em entrevista à publicação australiana Car Expert, Hyundai Executive Technical Advisor Albert Biermann said the idea behind these add-ons is to deliver the "same jolt and downshift vibrations you experience in our ICE N cars." He went on to mention "the idea is to come pretty close to the feel and sound of the DCT in the escotilha i30 N."

Para esse fim, o Ioniq 5N will have something called Virtual Grin Shift (VGN), activated by pressing a button on the steering wheel. The driver then must pull both paddles to turn on the "virtual shift mode" to artificially change gears. VGN is complemented by N Sound Plus, which contains various noises you'd expect from a gas-fueled N car. Future over-the-air updates will bring additional sounds, and owners will be able to add their own fake noises.

Hyundai is currently fine-tuning these faux noises, including one that'll imitate the sound made by a gas car when you're bouncing off the rev limiter. Another trick up its sleeve will be a dedicated drift mode courtesy of a rear-biased setup by pressing a button mounted inside. Stronger friction brakes for the regenerative braking system are also planned.

As for the technical specifications that really matter, expect a dual-motor setup Albert Biermann has already revealed the Ioniq 5 N will have somewhere in the region of 600 horsepower. There's no word about torque, but we’ll remind you the EV6GT has 564 pound-feet (740 Newton meters). Kia’s speedy electric crossover does 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in three and a half seconds en route to 162 mph (260 km/h), but don’t be too surprised if Hyundai's EV will top those numbers.

O Ioniq 5 N já foi testado várias vezes, então espere uma estreia oficial no primeiro semestre do próximo ano.
