Every year the Goodwood Festival dazzles us with street and track classics, but also with something new. We already saw the Porsche Vision 357 Speedster and now it is the debut turbo (with track spin and all) of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
Ioniq 5 N: Festival of Electric Speed
Electricity is what is coming, and while at the beginning it was synonymous with ecology and slowness, in recent years it has been showing that it is also equivalent to power and speed. N, Hyundai’s sports arm now shows it with this version of the Ioniq 5 that becomes the most powerful of the brand.

- Two motors, one per axis
- Front engine 226 Hp
- Rear engine 383 Hp
- Total power: 448 kilowatts (609 Hp)
- Boost mode that for 10 seconds delivers 650 Hp

The brand does not report the weight of the Ioniq 5 N, but it is heavier than the conventional one whose weights range from 1,800 to almost 2,200 kilos depending on the version.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Cornering speed too
You have already seen the figures of the new electric car from the Korean company, but a sports car is not only its speed in a straight line, it also has to be able to brake and turn well and for this N made several changes:
- Body up to 80mm wider
- 21-inch wheels
- Suspensions 20 mm lower and firmer
- Brakes with 400mm front and 360mm rear discs
- braking regeneration
- Front bumper with larger air intakes
- Rear diffuser and spoiler
- Active air baffles
- N Drift Optimizer system: distributes power between the axles to facilitate drifts
- N Torque Distribution: electronic limited slip differential and 11 modes.
Perhaps the most curious thing about the sporty Ioniq 5 is the N e-shift system which offers the sensation of shifting using paddles and simulating the hitting of an 8-speed in a dual-clutch box by altering the engine’s torque delivery.
Hyundai did not give prices, but when the Ioniq N arrives at dealerships in Europe in 2024 It should widely exceed 65,000 euros for the most expensive normal version.
