- 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 among the most unique-looking automobiles that you could purchase right now, and it’s going to develop into much more putting 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 just 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 will make out many of the modifications. We get to see the automobile 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 just like the observe is its pure habitat.
Making an attempt to mentally peel away the camouflage, we will 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 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 several true efficiency automobile, the Ioniq 6 N could have an elevated observe width to enhance cornering stability and widened fenders to accommodate wider tires. It would additionally function extra distinguished aspect skirts to tie all of it collectively and assist give it a extra planted stance. The entrance bumper seems prefer it has a giant rectangular consumption with slats that isn’t coated by camouflage, so this can doubtless keep the identical within the last automobile.
The rear finish will get further aero parts over the common mannequin, which solely has a small ducktail spoiler that does little to assist the automobile keep glued to the street 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 automobile’s tapering rear finish.
The prototype additionally had cameras as an alternative of mirrors (which will likely be obtainable the place authorized) and large brake rotors gripped by massive purple calipers that would simply be seen via the gloss black wheels. These should not last, although, and Hyundai will give the completed automobile a unique and extra aggressive wheel design.
Between its already distinctive design, the modifications introduced by the facelift, and the additional N go-faster bits, that is going to be one very noticeable automobile 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.
Nevertheless, with its decrease weight, extra aerodynamic physique and higher cornering capacity, we count on the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster observe automobile than the recent 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 count on Hyundai to maintain the simulated gears and engine sound from the Ioniq 5 N. This will 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’s going to most likely be within the subsequent few months (probably early subsequent 12 months) and it could or could not coincide with the disclosing common mannequin facelift.
