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 va primi tratamentul de înaltă performanță în 2023, probabil în conformitate cu Kia EV6 GT mecanic. Deoarece entuziaștii nu sunt tocmai pregătiți să renunțe la emoțiile oferite de o mașină sport pe benzină, marca sud-coreeană a lucrat la sunete artificiale pentru a imita un ICE.

Într-un interviu cu publicația australiană CarExpert, 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 trapa i30 N."

În acest scop, Ioniq 5 N 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 EV6 GT 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.

Ioniq 5 N a fost deja tachinat de mai multe ori, așa că căutați un debut oficial în prima jumătate a anului viitor.
