From its origins in electric motorsport with Pure ETCR to the development of track-capable yet street-ready electric vehicles (EVs), Hyundai N is once again redefining the boundaries of high-performance electrification with the debut of the IONIQ 6 N. At the core of the IONIQ 6 N lies Hyundai's unwavering commitment to building high-performance EVs that deliver an exhilarating and engaging driving experience. This vision is grounded in N's three-pillar performance philosophy: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability and Everyday Sportscar. As such, IONIQ 6 N is engineered to thrill on the track while retaining the comfort and refinement expected for daily driving — achieving a harmonious balance between performance and practicality. Key technical advancements include fully redesigned suspension geometry, an improved N e-Shift (virtual gear shift) system that minimizes performance loss, plus better sound quality through updated hardware and extensive acoustic fine-tuning, ensuring that every drive is both engaging and immersive. By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, IONIQ 6 N not only exemplifies Hyundai N's pursuit of performance excellence but also signals a bright future for EVs within the high-performance sector. "With IONIQ 6 N, Hyundai N aims to elevate its offerings, enticing drivers with electric powertrains that offer high-performance enthusiasts a thrilling new avenue to electrify their passion both on the road and the track," said José Muñoz, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. Engineering Excellence meets Electrified Performance IONIQ 6 N stands at the forefront of automotive advancement, boasting remarkable performance metrics and innovative technologies that redefine the EV driving experience. Producing an impressive 650 PS (478 kW) and 770 Nm of torque [1], IONIQ 6 N achieves a breathtaking 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.2 seconds (using N Launch Control) and will go on to a top speed of 257 km/h (approximately 160 mph). Developed to meet the demands of modern high-performance driving, IONIQ 6 N features a revamped battery management system, N Battery. Engineered for optimal temperature management, the system adapts to a range of track driving scenarios — whether drag, sprint or endurance racing. The integration of battery conditioning functions leads to higher and long-lasting performance, while optimized thermal management control and an increased capacity in the battery coolant heater significantly reduce the conditioning time. This ensures that IONIQ 6 N is always ready to perform. Aerodynamics play a critical role in the design of the IONIQ 6 N, where downforce and drag reduction are thoughtfully balanced for optimum performance. Motorsport-inspired elements such as the swan neck rear wing and widened fenders not only accentuate its aggressive, track-ready appearance but also contribute to enhanced stability during high-speed cornering. Such aerodynamic efficiency ensures IONIQ 6 N delivers both visual impact and exceptional on-road composure. IONIQ 6 N is offered in a new color, Performance Blue Pearl, which adds a pearl finish to Hyundai N's signature Performance Blue. This newly developed color delivers a more refined visual expression with enhanced depth that elevates the IONIQ 6 N's performance identity. Beneath its sculpted exterior lies fully redesigned suspension geometry and a reengineered chassis, developed to elevate handling precision and road holding. This advanced set up enhances track performance while preserving the ride comfort expected in daily driving. With a lowered roll center, IONIQ 6 N also delivers greater high-speed stability and improved cornering grip, making it a versatile performer on both the street and the circuit. Further elevating the driving dynamics are the new stroke sensing ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension) dampers. By integrating stroke sensors, the system allows for a wide range of damping force adjustments to suit varying driving conditions — from everyday commutes to intense track sessions. The result is improved ride quality and more predictable, responsive handling. "IONIQ 6 N combines formidable power, sophisticated battery management, aerodynamic mastery and advanced suspension systems to deliver a compelling blend of speed, stability and comfort, setting new benchmarks in modern automotive engineering," said Manfred Harrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Vehicle Development Tech Unit at Hyundai Motor Company. Next-Level Engagement: Advanced Vehicle Control in IONIQ 6 N IONIQ 6 N redefines the EV driving experience through its in-house developed advanced vehicle control software, optimized to enhance every aspect of driver interaction with the vehicle. Central to this interconnected experience is the N Active Sound + system, which brings a dynamic audio dimension to the driving experience. Powered by a stereo sound source and performance-enhanced Acoustic Design Processor (ADP) it delivers an enriched sound stage that makes each journey aurally immersive. Drivers can choose from bespoke sound modes tailored to specific moods and driving scenarios — from the motorsport-inspired 'Ignition' to the heritage-infused EV sound 'Evolution', and the futuristic sci-fi tones of 'Lightspeed'. Each mode offers a captivating auditory experience. Elevating the sense of performance even further is N e-Shift, Hyundai N's innovative shift control feature. By simulating motorsport-inspired close gear ratios, N e-Shift heightens responsiveness and strengthens the driver's connection to the car. Now fully compatible with key performance features including — N Launch Control, N Drift Optimizer, N Grin Boost and N Torque Distribution — N e-Shift ensures a seamless integration of control and power. Adding to the sensory experience is the N Ambient Shift Light, a unique interior lighting feature that visually cues precise shift points for optimal performance. This synchronized ambient glow transforms the cockpit into an arena where every gear change is not just felt but seen, further enhancing driver immersion. The N Track Manager empowers drivers to tailor and analyze their on-track performance like never before. This intelligent feature allows users to create custom tracks, monitor speed data, and evaluate performance through real-time ghost car visuals and detailed lap time analysis. By offering advanced track data management, N Track Manager further solidifies IONIQ 6 N as a track-capable EV engineered to meet a wide range of performance demands. Complementing this is the N Drift Optimizer, which offers unparalleled control over the vehicle's drift characteristics. With customizable parameters for drift initiation, angle and wheel spin drivers can fine-tune the vehicle's behavior to suit their skill level and driving style. Together, these driver-focused features demonstrate Hyundai N's commitment to delivering a versatile and exhilarating driving experience. By pushing the boundaries of advanced vehicle control software, the IONIQ 6 N opens new dimensions in driver engagement — for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. In tandem with the launch of IONIQ 6 N, a range of N performance parts will be available. Drawing on Hyundai N's motorsport heritage, these components let customers further personalize their vehicle and experience track-inspired performance on the street or circuit.

Northstar Calgary Facility Produces First Liquid Asphalt - Releases Construction & Commissioning Video #6
CALGARY AB, July 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) (" Northstar" or the " Company") is extremely pleased to announce that its inaugural asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in Calgary, Alberta (the " Empower Calgary Facility" or the " Facility") has produced its first liquid asphalt. All the major processing units at the Facility have now been commissioned, demonstrating an important derisking of the Company's technology and intellectual property. Details of this achievement are included in the release of the Company's sixth episode in its construction and commissioning update video series. The sixth episode marks the culmination of commissioning efforts for the Facility to process material from the beginning to the end of the plant and successfully produce liquid asphalt. As has been communicated in prior releases, the 'front-end' of the plant was fully commissioned early in the second quarter of 2025 and with today's announcement, the Company has fully commissioned the hydrocarbon processing 'back-end' of the Facility. Further ramp-up of commissioning volumes will ensue in the short-term with the target to achieve the Emission Reduction Alberta (" ERA") Commissioning Milestone 3 volume of 80 tonnes/day. Samples taken from the last stage of the process were delivered to an independent laboratory testing facility to measure qualities within the liquid asphalt. Results from those preliminary tests indicate asphalt quality that is significantly better than the Delta pilot plant product and will satisfy requirements contained in a number of the Company's commercial agreements. "This video update is the most important one in the Company's history," stated Aidan Mills, President & CEO. "The asphalt produced in Calgary is the highest quality we have ever produced demonstrating that our technology works which is an important step in de-risking the business. From here, we will increase production levels to not only meet the ERA Milestone 3 threshold but move beyond that to name plate capacity for the Facility. It is with great pride that we make this announcement and I wish to thank everyone involved to this point in delivering such an outstanding outcome both for Northstar and its shareholders." The sixth episode is available on the Company's YouTube channel at the link below: Incentive Compensation Grant In accordance with the Company's annual incentive compensation program, the Company intends to grant a total of 2,422,766 stock options to directors, officers, employees and select consultants at an exercise price of $0.335 with a term of five years from the date hereof. Additionally, 538,702 restricted share units and 1,197,391 performance share units were granted to certain of the directors, officers and employees of the Company. All incentive compensation granted is in accordance with the Company's approved equity incentive plan and the grants are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. About Northstar Northstar is a Canadian waste to value technology company focused on the sustainable recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles. Northstar developed and owns a proprietary design process for taking discarded asphalt shingles, otherwise destined for already over-crowded landfills, and extracts the liquid asphalt for use in new hot mix asphalt shingle manufacturing and asphalt flat roof systems while also extracting aggregate and fiber for use in construction products and other industrial applications. Focused on the circular economy, Northstar plans to reprocess used or defective asphalt shingle waste back into its three primary components for reuse/resale with its first commercial scale up facility in Calgary, Alberta. As an emerging innovator in sustainable processing, Northstar's mission aims at leading the recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles in North America that would otherwise be sent to landfill addressing numerous stakeholder objectives.

Mazda Reveals All-New 2026 CX-5 Français
Now, the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 builds upon its proven foundation with a more spacious cabin that features innovative, intuitive technology, while also enhancing vehicle safety to craft an SUV that is more capable, engaging, and desirable than ever before. KODO DESIGN: EVOLVED The design approach behind the all-new CX-5 was developed around our "Wearable Gear" concept, which is inspired by functional yet stylish clothing that has the right look and fit in a variety of situations. "Wearable Gear" embodies flexibility and approachability, offering a vehicle that is both at home in the city and thrives in more adventurous settings too. The 2026 CX-5 showcases the latest evolution of Kodo design, which works off a familiar silhouette that clearly communicates that this is a CX-5, while also optimizing proportions to create a more spacious cabin and exterior look that telegraphs the vehicles' capabilities and sense of stability. The available 19-inch wheels further enhance the CX-5's stance and convey the vehicle's solidity. The front end gains a more chiseled, wider-set look while incorporating the Mazda Signature Wing grille positioned between the more angular lighting elements. During the design process, further inspiration was found from the traditional Japanese architecture principle called "Kigumi" which is where precise wood joinery is used as the construction method rather than conventional screws and nails. This is seen where the body meets the fender trim. At the rear of the vehicle, new, more angular lighting ties CX-5 in with the larger Mazda crossover models, like CX-70 and CX-90 while bold "MAZDA" lettering replaces the traditional Mazda badge for an even greater visual impact. The end result of these design changes, beyond the visual impact, is a notable increase in size. The all-new CX-5 is 4.5-inches longer in both overall length and wheelbase, while also being over half an inch wider than the previous model. A THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED CABIN FOR ALL PASSENGERS Inside, the all-new CX-5 provides a calm, yet functional interior. The result is an uncluttered, spacious cabin that is serene and functional all in one, so the driver can focus, and the passengers can stretch out and relax. The door openings are much larger, for easier ingress and egress, especially for things like parents loading in car seats. Similarly, passenger comfort has been enhanced thanks to increased rear leg, knee and headroom. Rear-seat occupants can stretch out their legs comfortably, and an available panoramic sunroof makes the vehicle feel even more open, all improving comfort on long drives and contributing to CX-5's comfort and sense of lightness. Similarly, the extra size and length of the 2026 CX-5 allows for a notably larger and more useful rear cargo area, which is now almost two inches longer and over an inch higher all with a lower lift-in height that drops over half an inch from its predecessor. All of this allows for easier loading, even with larger items. Mazda's uniquely Japanese sense of craftsmanship is on display inside. Materials and finishes are carefully crafted to offer both lasting quality and a refined, harmonious atmosphere throughout the cabin. New ambient lighting on the front door trims add to this feeling of comfort, with a choice of seven colours that create a calming environment. This subtle lighting enhances the sense of a private, high-quality space for passengers without distracting the driver at night. INTUITIVE TECHNOLOGY Technology goes hand in hand with this rethought interior design philosophy. The all-new CX-5 features a new available 15.6-inch integrated touchscreen display, the largest ever offered on a Mazda vehicle. The system is the hub for infotainment and connectivity, offering seamless integration and intuitive operation thanks to smartphone-like usability and a customizable home screen with quick access to frequently used features. This system comes with Google built-in, which offers a more connected experience, with the ability to integrate key Google features, like Gemini 1, an AI assistant from Google, which is coming soon to cars with Google built-in and allows owners to take hands-free control of everything that matters on the road. Owners can speak naturally, ask complex questions, and steer the conversation with follow-ups—no need to memorize commands or phrases. Additionally, owners can explore and navigate with confidence using fresh traffic and place information from Google Maps. With Google built-in, CX-5 owners can also access the Google Play Store for a curated selection of in-vehicle compatible apps, plus ability for Mazda to add branded and third-party features via future updates. This includes popular apps for music, video streaming, and news, creating an experience that feels like an extension of everyday digital life. CX-5 KEEPS THE DRIVER SOLIDLY IN CONTROL The all-new Mazda CX-5 continues Mazda's unwavering commitment to safety. It has consistently been, and will continue to be, one of the safest vehicles in its segment, based on its legacy as an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winner. Drivers can also anticipate a robust suite of standard and available driver assistance technologies, including the introduction of several new, Advanced Driver Assistance System features crafted to further enhance protection and driver confidence. The 2026 CX-5 will launch with a 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G four-cylinder engine which produces 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ AWD. The 2.5L powertrain package has proven itself as a popular, reliable offering from Mazda, and this latest iteration has been recalibrated for greater flexibility, with an emphasis on offering both sharper response and also a more relaxed, quiet demeanor, based on how the vehicle is driven. An electrified alternative is also coming, as CX-5 will debut a new hybrid powertrain to the Mazda family in 2027. The new SkyActiv-Z engine will feature Mazda Hybrid System technology to offer a higher level of performance and fuel efficiency along with the engaging drive that our customers expect. With innovative, easy-to-use technology, greatly improved cabin space and utility, along with the high level of craftsmanship and safety our customers have to come expect, the all-new 2026 CX-5 has elevated CX-5 to a new standard.
