The Ioniq 6 N Gets Closer To Production
Roughly three years ago, Hyundai had just launched its Ioniq 5 N performance crossover. Instead of slowing down, the Seoul-based automaker then revealed two exciting new concepts called the N Vision 74 and the RN22e. The former is meant to run on hydrogen and, therefore, may take a very long time to reach production, or never make it at all, but the latter was clearly a hardcore version of the then-new Ioniq 6. Now, Hyundai has revealed a batch of teaser images that give us a clearer look at the production design – and a date for the sedan’s full reveal.
Debut Set For Goodwood FOS
There are few better places to get your new creation in front of the eyes of thousands of automotive enthusiasts at once than the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, so that’s where the Ioniq 6 N will make its big debut. The UK event takes place over the weekend of July 10-13, 2025, and has been the site of several spectacular reveals over the years, including last year’s mind-bending Red Bull RB17 track special, designed by the great Adrian Newey. We won’t be getting a 15,000-rpm engine in the Ioniq 6 N electric sedan, so what can we expect?
An Everday Racetrack Rascal
Hyundai says the Ioniq 6 N will embody the N brand’s three core performance pillars: ‘Corner Rascal,’ ‘Racetrack Capability,’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car.’ That means it should be even more exciting than the tall Ioniq 5 N, an EV that has caused many a diehard combustion fan to rethink how fundamental an engine is to automotive excitement. That car offers up to 641 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque (though more could be possible here), along with several features that generate engagement, such as N e-Shift and N Active Sound+. Along with simulated shifts and sounds, we expect the Ioniq 6 N to be just as happy going sideways as a BMW M3, and with large wheels, a significant wing above a ducktail spoiler, and a sleek yet aggressive front end, it’ll have just as much presence. We can’t wait to see if its performance is as impressive as its styling.
