- 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 autos that you may purchase right this moment, and it’s going to change into much more putting 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 referred to 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 provides us our greatest look but on the sizzling Ioniq 6, and we will make out many 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 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 characteristic a slim full-width gentle bar and separate gentle clusters beneath. 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 all true efficiency automobile, the Ioniq 6 N can have an elevated observe width to enhance cornering stability and widened fenders to accommodate wider tires. It would additionally characteristic extra distinguished aspect 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 an enormous rectangular consumption with slats that’s not coated by camouflage, so this may possible keep the identical within the closing car.
The rear finish will get additional aero components 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 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 a substitute of mirrors (which will likely be obtainable the place authorized) and massive brake rotors gripped by giant pink calipers that might simply be seen by way of the gloss black wheels. These aren’t closing, although, and Hyundai will give the completed car a special 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 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 means, we anticipate the Ioniq 6 N to be a significantly faster observe automobile than the recent Ioniq 5. It would immediately change 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 anticipate Hyundai to maintain the simulated gears and engine sound from the Ioniq 5 N. This may increasingly not attraction to everybody, and we too have been skeptical at first, however we truly 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 is going to in all probability be within the subsequent few months (probably early subsequent 12 months) and it could or might not coincide with the disclosing common mannequin facelift.
