Tesla Who? Hyundai’s IONIQ 6 N Delivers Track Power and Everyday Thrills

Hyundai just made a bold statement to the EV world, and Tesla should be paying attention. With the global debut of the IONIQ 6 N at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Hyundai isn't just entering the high-performance EV conversation; it’s stealing the spotlight.

This is not your average electric car. The IONIQ 6 N blends heart-racing performance with cutting-edge technology, sleek aerodynamic styling, and the kind of track-ready capability you'd expect from a purpose-built race machine. All that, with an estimated price tag of around $60,000, makes it one of the most exciting and aggressive EVs on the market today, and a serious rival to anything Tesla has to offer.

Track-Ready Power Meets Daily Drive Comfort

While Tesla boasts about straight-line speed, the IONIQ 6 N is engineered to dominate corners, tracks, and everyday roads alike. Backed by Hyundai’s motorsport-inspired N division, this EV delivers:

• 640 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque.
• 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds with N Launch Control
• Top speed of 160 mph 

Whether you’re pushing it at the track or picking up groceries, the IONIQ 6 N adapts, and thrives.

Technology That Puts You in Control, and in the Moment

Where Tesla offers autopilot and clean lines, Hyundai doubles down on driver engagement. The IONIQ 6 N includes a suite of advanced features that immerse you in the driving experience:

• N e-Shift: Simulated gear shifts for a true performance feel
• N Active Sound+: Choose between custom engine sounds like Ignition, Evolution, or Lightspeed
• N Track Manager: Monitor lap times, create ghost cars, and build custom tracks
• N Drift Optimizer: Fine-tune your drift angle, speed, and style
• N Ambient Shift Light: Visual shift cues that turn the cockpit into a racecar-like arena

Tesla may be silent and futuristic, but the IONIQ 6 N makes sure you feel every second of your drive.

Looks That Back Up the Speed

The IONIQ 6 N isn’t just fast, it looks the part too. Aggressive fenders, a motorsport-inspired swan neck rear wing, and widened stance boost both aerodynamics and attitude. It debuts in Performance Blue Pearl, a new color exclusive to this model that adds depth and a fierce, performance-ready glow.

And under that sculpted body? Redesigned suspension geometry, stroke sensing ECS dampers, and a reengineered chassis built to hug every curve with confidence. This EV wants to be pushed.

Smart Battery, Smarter Performance

Unlike many performance EVs that fade during extended drives, the IONIQ 6 N’s N Battery system is track-tested. With advanced thermal management and battery conditioning functions, it stays cool, charged, and powerful, whether you're doing a sprint, drag, or endurance lap.

This means you don’t just get short bursts of speed, you get sustained, dependable performance lap after lap.

Hyundai Steals the Show at Goodwood

The Goodwood Festival of Speed was the perfect stage for the IONIQ 6 N’s jaw-dropping debut. From rally cars to drift specs and the powerful N lineup, Hyundai made it clear: the future of EV performance isn't limited to one brand anymore.

The highlight? The synchronized ‘N Moment’ run up the famous Goodwood Hillclimb, where the IONIQ 6 N raced alongside icons like the IONIQ 5 N, RN24e, and WRC Rally 1 Hybrid, proving that Hyundai’s performance roots run deep.

Final Thoughts

With its thrilling performance, next-gen tech, and unmistakable design, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N isn’t just another EV; it’s a wake-up call.

For Tesla fans, this is the competition you didn’t know you needed. For driving enthusiasts? It’s your new obsession.
