Hyundai has officially unveiled its all-electric racing car, the Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup Car, ushering in a new era of sustainable racing. The car shares most components with the standard model, but also brings a number of major improvements.

The car is built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, and is equipped with new extended wheel arches, a new front lip spoiler, a new rear wing, a bonnet made of FRP, polycarbonate windows, adjustable shock absorbers that can adjust the camber of the wheels and the height of the car, front brakes six-piston calipers and four-piston rear calipers. The racer is mounted on a set of specially developed 18-inch forged wheels wrapped in slick tires for maximum grip.

Safety enhancements include a multi-point welded roll cage, buckets, six-point seat belts, a high-voltage extinguishing system, a high-voltage warning indicator, an anti-fire system and a relocated charging port.

“We are incredibly proud to unveil the IONIQ 5 N eN1 Cup car, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable racing. This unique electric racing car demonstrates our cutting-edge technology and passion for pushing the boundaries of what EVs can achieve on the racetrack,” said Vice President and Head of N Brand & Motorsport, Till Wartenberg.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup Car is powered by two electric motors, the front with 222 hp (166 kW) and the rear with 378 hp (282 kW). It is equipped with an 800-volt architecture and an 84 kWh battery that can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes thanks to a 350 kW charger. The standard model’s N Green Boost, N e-Shift and N Active Sound are retained, but teams will also be able to create their own sounds for the electric car.
