- 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 without doubt one of the most unique-looking automobiles that you may purchase at this time, 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 known as the Ioniq 6 N, which was not too long ago 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 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 appears to be like just like the observe is its pure habitat.
Attempting to mentally peel away the camouflage, we will nearly make out the revised entrance design, which is able to possible function a slim full-width mild bar and separate mild clusters beneath. That’s much like the most recent Kona crossover, and it’ll fully rework 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 may have an elevated observe 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 appears to be like prefer it has a giant rectangular consumption with slats that’s not coated by camouflage, so it will possible keep the identical within the closing 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 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 automobile’s tapering rear finish.
The prototype additionally had cameras as an alternative of mirrors (which might be accessible the place authorized) and large brake rotors gripped by massive crimson 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 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 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 skill, we anticipate the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster observe automobile than the new Ioniq 5. It should immediately develop into a funds 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 truly 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 can most likely be within the subsequent few months (presumably early subsequent 12 months) and it could or might not coincide with the revealing common mannequin facelift.
