Optimized track performance and enables drifts.
I'm inserting the video right now.
That is just insane. To deliver maximized driving fun, driving fun!
Welcome to CarSceneKorea.
I introduce newly released Genesis, Hyundai and Kia cars.
I'm here today to capture the latest N
that was released on the N Day.
The physical car is actually here. I was here yesterday on the press day,
where I covered a whole bunch of newly released cars,
so go check that video out right here including the IONIQ 6.
So the precise name for this car is actually RN22e.
Before it was RM, the letter M. And that was supposedly the rear-midship.
So it was actually named after the position of the engine.
This is actually the very first electrified N that
is officially debuted by and from Hyundai.
And I'm already at Hyundai booth right there.
So let's go check it out.
Everybody is hyped about the IONIQ 6 here today.
Once again, I've captured that intensively right here so go check that video out.
This is the IONIQ 6, as well as the IONIQ 5.
And I actually love the color of this car.
Just look at this. The IONIQ 6 it's all there so go check the video out.
But it's here! And this ladies and gentlemen is RN22e.
This was world premiered and debuted literally a few hours ago,
but I have this car, the physical car right in front of me.
The name is RN22e; it represents N as the N that we all know of,
and 22; the year that it has been made.
And the letter e for the electrification.
And never miss out this gigantic end on the front grille.
Not only does it help with the aerodynamics, but
it makes the air exit, hugging along the bonnet and the hood of the car.
And alongside the roof and also it goes towards the rear.
I mean, it's been many, many years since I've seen an eyelid on cars.
We're talking about like 90s,
early 2000s here it is the eyelid has come back,
from manufacturer; Hyundai has put on an eyelid.
Having said this,
I'm pretty sure a lot of IONIQ 6 owners would come up with an eyelid of their own
and actually put it like that, well because just look at that.
Makes the car look much more aggressive.
The airflap, the Active Air Flap is gone.
You don't need that for N. You always need extra air.
The cooling. So, it's open 24/7.
The air curtain on the sides, it's also actually gone.
Forget about the coefficient of drag, 0.21 that IONIQ 6 had.
This car doesn't need it anymore.
The wheels, it's got 21 inch wheels on. And it's got 275 35 on the front.
This is the front, not the rear.
Four-pot pistons, but this does not look like that of the N Performance brakes, no.
So it has the good old 5-spoke wheels that looks like stars.
Got some holes in it.
It's got like a little bit of a shield plates around it,
so probably that's not just for the looks, but it's for aerodynamic and efficiency.
This E-GMP stands for
Electric Global Modular Platform that Hyundai exclusively made for EV cars
And I actually have the bone sketch of that car right above here,
so go check that video out and the card.
Let me show you the rear.
275 35 21. So it's actually a square setup.
So the tire sizes are same all around.
The rear has one big pot.
So that is one pot brake, right there.
Kind of surprising to see that.
And right there is also a whole gigantic hole.
They did not forget about the hole for the rear.
And it comes all the way back to here.
This is much more evident from this angle, obviously.
I can even see the tires. That is just ridiculous.
This vertical reflector, this is just the rear reflector.
It's not brake lights.
This is the reverse lights.
And that is the brake light.
That is still carried over straight from IONIQ 6, but people, look at this rear diffuser.
The rear diffuser is really literally a pixel.
It's a complete square and they even have it on this RN22e.
Another pixels here. The squares and squares.
And this diffuser, I bet it's stretched all the way down to the middle.
I don't even need to double check that.
We don't even see the end of the word the diffuser takes us.
It's connected and stretches out all the way to here.
Awesome RN22e written here.
This is the thin Hyundai logo that they have introduced first time on IONIQ 6,
but they have blacked it out.
So blacking out the car on performance and sports cars, that never gets old.
And I think this clear tail light, well, this is straight from IONIQ 6, but absolutely love it.
Of course, the rear seat delete. There is no seat on the rear.
And there is the where the motors entire battery packs are sitting underneath.
The charging port is completely circular.
They did not forget about, I mean, the duck bill is still there, straight from the IONIQ 6.
So there has been a lot of discrepancy about having two spoilers, right?
Keeping the original tiny spoiler, plus having the gigantic GT spoiler on top
that's been controversial on aftermarket modifications and whatnot.
But I guess Hyundai has a statement on that one now.
And of course, you don't need a variable bolts for purpose-built car like a race car like this RN22e.
There are no other holes.
This is very reminiscent of the N Performance spoiler from Elantra N.
Especially the way the tip the end and this canard, excuse me, this plate is designed.
This is straight from Elantra N, I kind of want to say.
Here, it seems like a little bit of a Gurney flap, type of a thing at the end towards here.
Well, you could say that that may not be the much.
But it actually helps a lot.
There's a big difference having a little bit of a Gurney flap at the end versus having none.
And as for the batteries go,
it comes with a 77.4 kilowatt hour battery.
that supports both 400 volts and as well as 800 volts.
It provides the super fast charging as well.
the speed is limited at 250, it seems.
This car is also capable of traveling faster than 250 kilometers per hour plus.
All right, the parting line for the trunk, well, this is useless.
U don't think the trunk is going to be opened, unless the car needs to go under the maintenance or what not.
But just look at this. Look at this design on the c-pillar
that is connected all the way up like that.
the flush type door handle, straight from IONIQ 6.
i don't know if you want that on a race car though.
And a little hard to see, but right there.
It's got the roll cage and roll bars, of course.
Every race car needs that.
This is the side mirror. I like how we see the letter N on the reflection.
Probably they put some of the air dynamics in mind when creating and coming up with this mirror.
And this fender line is continued and connected with what's seen on the back.
So this completes the design language.
I mean, I never thought that such gigantic car like IONIQ 6 would look good on this Performance Blue.
This is not the Performance Blue that we are currently getting, you know.
Veloster N, or Elantra N or Kona N for that matter, no.
It's actually a little bit, well, not not a little bit. It's completely matte.
This is a matte paint if not matte wrap, matte colored.
So as much as I want to touch it, I'm not going to.
Oh I can see that it's a decal. So it's not a paint.
The headlight seems to be borrowed straight from the IONIQ 6 and whatnot.
And of course, do not do not forget about the red lip and the points.
That is also now a symbol for Ns.
That's also continued on the side skirts and I bet it's continued on the rear as well.
Yes, yes. Of course, it's continued.
This red stripe never forget.
And this is the newest and latest and fastest and highest technology put.
Everything that Hyundai has got to offer.
The latest N. I give it to you ladies and gentlemen,
RN22e.
Unfortunately, probably this will not hit the production line anytime soon.
but this is why Hyundai has in the store for us.
I am completely stoked and blown away seeing this car in person.
And I'm really happy to deliver this footage to you first here in Korea, as an N owner.
For your information, I also have a Veloster N myself.
So you see where all the hype is coming from.
That letter N that Hyundai has come up with,
It's made a lot of people's life completely different, including mine.
"We call it Rolling Lab,"
"representing the continuous development of our most advanced technologies."
These two cars are actually the Rolling Lab,
which, where they are inspired from the race heritage and experiences.
And they put that technology on the car first,
before it hits the factory line and comes out to the production line.
But we know that Hyundai is capable of pumping out such cars that we see before us.
And I just can't wait to see more of these cars especially,
I don't know if I will ever have such an experience getting in the passenger seat of this car, but
if I do, well, that's the day when my dreams come true.
This gave a great, great idea of what the car is going to look like.
And what the future is going to be like for Hyundai Motorsports.
All right, so that's it for today. Don't forget to subscribe and like CarSceneKorea if you did.
And, "Never just drive."
"And that is what N is all about."
Big shoutout to N.
