- Hotter Ioniq 6 N is within the works
- Right here we see it on the monitor
- That is our greatest look but on the N model of the Ioniq 6
Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 is among the most unique-looking autos which you could purchase at present, and it’s going to turn into much more placing as soon as the facelifted model is revealed with its two-tiered entrance fascia. This may coincide with the launch of a performance-oriented model anticipated to be referred to as the Ioniq 6 N, which was lately noticed doing laps of the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
The camouflaged prototype on this video posted by KoreanCarBlog TV provides us our greatest look but on the scorching Ioniq 6, and we are able to make out a lot of the adjustments. We get to see the automotive being pushed aggressively across the Nurburgring Nordschleife, showcasing its swiftness and surefooted dealing with across the famed monitor’s over 100 technical turns—it seems just like the monitor is its pure habitat.
Attempting to mentally peel away the camouflage, we are able to nearly make out the revised entrance design, which is able to seemingly function a slim full-width gentle bar and separate gentle clusters beneath. That’s just like the most recent Kona crossover, and it’ll utterly remodel the look of the Ioniq 6. Whether or not it’s for the higher, you’ll be able to inform us within the feedback.
Like all true efficiency automotive, the Ioniq 6 N can have an elevated monitor width to enhance cornering stability and widened fenders to accommodate wider tires. It should additionally function extra outstanding facet skirts to tie all of it collectively and assist give it a extra planted stance. The entrance bumper seems prefer it has an enormous rectangular consumption with slats that’s not coated by camouflage, so this can seemingly keep the identical within the closing automobile.
The rear finish will get further aero components over the common mannequin, which solely has a small ducktail spoiler that does little to assist the automotive keep glued to the street at excessive speeds. Hyundai has made this ducktail significantly bigger on the N, and it’s complemented by an enormous wing that appears a bit like an arch from the rear because it follows the curvature of the automotive’s tapering rear finish.
The prototype additionally had cameras as a substitute of mirrors (which might be accessible the place authorized) and massive brake rotors gripped by massive pink calipers that would simply be seen by way of the gloss black wheels. These are usually not closing, although, and Hyundai will give the completed automobile a special and extra aggressive wheel design.
Between its already distinctive design, the adjustments introduced by the facelift, and the additional N go-faster bits, that is going to be one very noticeable automotive when it comes out. It should have efficiency to match its radical look, with energy and torque figures anticipated to reflect these of the Ioniq 5 N.
Nonetheless, with its decrease weight, extra aerodynamic physique and higher cornering potential, we anticipate the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster monitor automotive than the recent Ioniq 5. It should immediately turn into a finances Porsche Taycan challenger with straight-line efficiency to beat the 4S model of Germany’s sportiest electrical sedan for lots much less cash.
We additionally anticipate Hyundai to maintain the simulated gears and engine sound from the Ioniq 5 N. This may occasionally not enchantment to everybody, and we too have been skeptical at first, however we really discovered it to be fairly an amusing function when we examined the Ioniq 5 N. The producer hasn’t introduced a transparent timeline for when it plans to unveil the Ioniq 6 N, however it would in all probability be within the subsequent few months (presumably early subsequent 12 months) and it might or might not coincide with the disclosing common mannequin facelift.
