- 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 likely one of the most unique-looking autos which you could purchase right this moment, and it’s going to change 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 offers us our greatest look but on the sizzling Ioniq 6, and we will make out a lot of the adjustments. We get to see the automobile 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 to be just like the monitor is its pure habitat.
Making an attempt to mentally peel away the camouflage, we will nearly make out the revised entrance design, which can doubtless characteristic a slim full-width mild bar and separate mild clusters under. That’s much like the newest Kona crossover, and it’ll utterly remodel 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 automobile, the Ioniq 6 N may have an elevated monitor width to enhance cornering stability and widened fenders to accommodate wider tires. It should additionally characteristic extra outstanding 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 an enormous rectangular consumption with slats that isn’t coated by camouflage, so it will doubtless keep the identical within the ultimate automobile.
The rear finish will get additional 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 an enormous 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 probably be obtainable the place authorized) and massive brake rotors gripped by giant purple calipers that would simply be seen by way of the gloss black wheels. These should not ultimate, although, and Hyundai will give the completed automobile a unique 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 automobile 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.
Nevertheless, with its decrease weight, extra aerodynamic physique and higher cornering capability, we count on the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster monitor automobile than the new Ioniq 5. It should immediately change into a price range 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 may occasionally not enchantment to everybody, and we too have been skeptical at first, however we really discovered it to be fairly an amusing characteristic 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 yr) and it could or might not coincide with the disclosing common mannequin facelift.
