Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N, the first completely electric high-performance model from the N range of Hyundai, has entered the final phase of testing at the company's circuit in Nürburgring, Germany. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the vehicle's performance capabilities before its global launch on July 13th at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK.

According to the company, the Ioniq 5 N's world premiere during the Festival of Speed of Goodwood will be the first time Hyundai N participates in this event. The objective of the model is to elevate the N brand while maximizing the electric car's high performance through a combination of the Global Electric Modular Platform and technologies developed for this range.

Furthermore, the Ioniq 5 N ensures fulfillment of the N range's three performance pillars: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability, and Everyday Sportscar. Nürburgring Nordschleife's race track usage is meant to fulfill the requirements of a high-performance electric vehicle and, according to Hyundai, supports the Motorsport hardware with advanced software to guarantee more reliability, powerful braking, and an enhanced driving experience.

Hyundai stated that the vehicle's advanced software that manages heat and cooling is crucial to maintaining its performance. Due to battery overheating, it is more challenging to cool electric cars than those with internal combustion engines. The Ioniq 5 N features an expanded cooling surface area with a unique efficient radiator, motor oil cooler, and battery cooler. As a result, these hardware cooling techniques are reinforced with new heat management solutions like N Battery Preconditioning and N Race.

Till Wartenberg, Vice President of N Brand Management and Motorsport, said, "Nürburgring is where every N model is perfected to the nth degree, so our first all-electric high-performance N model must also prove its worth here."
