It wants not just a trophy, but also an outright record
Hyundai has announced that it will send four Hyundai Ioniq 5 N cars to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in June, with the intention of snatching away a course record to display back at its HQ.
However, only two of the quarter will be eligible, and even those have only been mildly tweaked to meet safety regs: The driver’s seat is now a Recaro Pro Racer Hans unit and the seatbelt is now a six-point Sabelt job. Oh, and the back seats have been removed entirely. Necessary for the roll cage and fire suppression system, you see.Meanwhile, Hyundai says it will unveil two properly modified versions of the 5 N ahead of the Nürburgring 24 Hours at the end of May.
“We are returning to the mountain stronger than we have left it, with a class-leading electric SUV in the form of Ioniq 5 N,” said Till Wartenberg, N brand and motorsport head. “Hyundai has a history of proving new technologies and products at Pikes Peak going all the way back to 1992, and the Ioniq 5 N brings that concept to high-performance electric cars.“The production-spec Ioniq 5 N will demonstrate what customers can expect from their vehicles.
Now there’s a statement. A small reminder that the 5 N will crush 0-100kph in 3.4sec and gets WRC-inspired integrated drive axles, N-tuned brakes, and structural enhancements, having been tested to the Nth degree at the ’Ring. The red paint seen here will make way for a special Pikes Peak livery, too. Roll on June.NOTE: This article first appeared on TopGear.com. Minor edits have been made.
