- Hotter Ioniq 6 N is within the works
- Right here we see it on the observe
- That is our greatest look but on the N model of the Ioniq 6
Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 is likely one of the most unique-looking autos you could purchase in the present day, and it’s going to develop into much more placing as soon as the facelifted model is revealed with its two-tiered entrance fascia. This can coincide with the launch of a performance-oriented model anticipated to be known 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 sizzling 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 observe’s over 100 technical turns—it seems to be just like the observe 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 doubtless function a slim full-width mild bar and separate mild clusters under. That’s just like the newest Kona crossover, and it’ll fully rework the look of the Ioniq 6. Whether or not it’s for the higher, you may inform us within the feedback.
Like every true efficiency automotive, the Ioniq 6 N can have an elevated observe width to enhance cornering stability and widened fenders to accommodate wider tires. It would additionally function extra distinguished facet skirts to tie all of it collectively and assist give it a extra planted stance. The entrance bumper seems to be prefer it has a giant rectangular consumption with slats that’s not lined by camouflage, so this can doubtless keep the identical within the closing car.
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 highway at excessive speeds. Hyundai has made this ducktail significantly bigger on the N, and it’s complemented by a giant 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 an alternative of mirrors (which will probably be accessible the place authorized) and large brake rotors gripped by massive pink calipers that might simply be seen by way of the gloss black wheels. These should not closing, although, and Hyundai will give the completed car a distinct 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 would 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 capacity, we anticipate the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster observe automotive than the new Ioniq 5. It would immediately develop 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 increasingly not attraction 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’ll most likely be within the subsequent few months (probably early subsequent yr) and it could or could not coincide with the revealing common mannequin facelift.
