The Goodwood Festival of Speed, renowned for celebrating automotive performance and innovation, served as the perfect stage for Hyundai to unveil the highly anticipated IONIQ 6 N.
This prestigious event, which draws enthusiasts and industry leaders from around the world, provided an ideal backdrop for showcasing Hyundai’s most advanced electric performance vehicle to date.
Making its dynamic debut on the iconic hill climb course, the IONIQ 6 N captured attention with its bold styling and electrifying performance.
Hyundai used the festival not only to highlight the car’s powerful capabilities, but also to emphasise its role as a milestone in the evolution of the N brand into the electric era.
With its striking presence and high-output powertrain, the IONIQ 6 N stood out as a statement of Hyundai’s commitment to redefining EV performance.

Re-defined Performance
The IONIQ 6 N redefines what’s possible from an electric performance car.
With 650 PS (641bhp) and 568lb ft of instant torque, it launches from 0 to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds using N Launch Control and reaches a top speed of 160mph.
These figures firmly position it among the most capable EVs on the market, delivering supercar-level acceleration in a package that remains practical for daily use.
Engineered for more than just straight-line speed, the IONIQ 6 N features Hyundai’s advanced N Battery system, designed to maintain consistent power under demanding conditions.

Whether on a circuit or navigating day-to-day traffic, the system ensures optimal thermal efficiency, supported by a reworked chassis and revised suspension that offer sharp handling without compromising comfort.
This balance makes it as capable on a weekend track day as it is during a weekday commute.
Motorsport-inspired aerodynamics, including a functional swan neck rear wing and widened fenders, enhance high-speed stability, while stroke-sensing ECS dampers adapt in real time to changing surfaces and driving styles.
With its aggressive styling, everyday usability, and cutting-edge EV technology, the IONIQ 6 N delivers a compelling vision of what electric performance should feel like.
Advanced engineering
N e-Shift
The N e-Shift system in the IONIQ 6 N simulates the feeling of gear changes in an EV, using steering wheel paddles to control virtual shifts. It modulates motor torque to replicate the tactile experience of a traditional transmission, adding a familiar, engaging layer to electric driving.
N Active Sound+
Offering a selectable sound profile, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N can mimic combustion engines or futuristic EV tones with ease, helping immerse you whilst driving.
N Launch Control
N Launch Control optimises the car’s traction and power output to achieve maximum acceleration from a standing start. It ensures consistent and repeatable performance by carefully managing torque delivery across all four wheels during takeoff.
N Drift Optimiser
For drifting enthusiasts, the N Drift Optimiser helps maintain controlled slides by managing torque split and stability systems in real time. This feature includes adjustable settings that let drivers fine-tune drift angles, wheel spin, and initiation behaviour to match their skill level and driving style.
Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS)
The IONIQ 6 N is equipped with stroke-sensing ECS, which adapts damping forces based on road conditions and driving demands. This technology enhances cornering precision and high-speed stability while maintaining comfort for everyday use. Complementing this is a reengineered suspension setup with a lower roll centre for improved grip and sharper handling.
N Track Manager
Track-focused drivers can take advantage of the N Track Manager, an onboard tool that allows users to map circuits, log lap times, and review performance data through visual telemetry. It offers real-time feedback and ghost comparisons, enabling drivers to analyse and improve their track sessions.
N Grin Boost
Lastly, N Grin Boost delivers a temporary surge of power for brief bursts of enhanced acceleration. Activated on demand, it provides extra thrust for situations like overtaking or quick sprints, adding another layer of excitement to the driving experience.
With all this and more, it’s no surprise the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N has been such a hot topic!
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N represents a bold step forward for the brand’s high-performance N division, seamlessly merging electric innovation with motorsport-inspired engineering.
Its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed underscored Hyundai’s ambition to redefine what enthusiasts can expect from an electric performance car.
With an impressive blend of raw power, precision handling, and advanced driver-focused technologies like N e-Shift, N Drift Optimiser, and N Track Manager, the IONIQ 6 N delivers an experience that’s both thrilling on the track and refined on the road.
Beyond just numbers and specs, the IONIQ 6 N brings personality and engagement back to electric driving, ensuring that performance purists don’t have to compromise when moving to an EV.
It’s a statement of how the future of driving excitement is not just preserved but evolved in the electric era, and Hyundai is leading that charge with confidence and flair.
