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.
