even as most of the general public is still trying to recover from the utter shock of
coming face to face with the stunning ionic six in person when the design of the production version
was finally unveiled after years of skepticism and anticipation as the hyundai's first ever dedicated
electric sedan that was supposed to inherit the graceful lines of the prophecy concept
korea is already in full motion to throw another one-two knockout punch to finish off the game
and establish itself as the de facto leader in electric cars
the first involves ultra-high performance modification of the existing electric vehicle
models to turn your daily drivers into legitimate supercars that anyone can purchase and the second
involves turning the already striking existing products into something even more flamboyant
yet practical at the same time to increase its appeal globally so before we go on we'd highly
appreciate your support by subscribing and turning on the notification bell if you haven't already
and please don't forget to like comment and vote on the question that's presented at the end of
the video about to make its world premiere at the end day 2022 is none other than ionic 5n
the ultra high performance version of the world car of the year ionic 5 which even in stock form
looks outright exotic with 80s launch a delta integrale inspired sport hatchback appearance
ionic 5n is code developed with kia ev6 gt which shares the same egmp dedicated ev platform
featuring incredible 800 volt ultra fast charging architecture the first application of
such advanced technology in mass market electric cars which is also bi-directional to offer the
innovative v2l functionalities the high-tech 800 volt hyundai and kia electric vehicles that have
combined to win just about all automotive awards given out in the world are already plenty fast
with the dual motor long-range versions exhibiting 0 to 60 miles per hour time of around 4.5 seconds
incredible for your average family crossovers however the high-performance versions represented
by kia's gt and hyundai's n monikers up the ante with a 576 horsepower dual motor power electric
system to render a supercar like performance of 3.5 seconds zero to 60 miles per hour don't be
fooled though because all those superficial specifications of the ionic 5n seem nearly
identical to the kia ev6 gt it's not badge engineered it's made known that the vehicle
characteristics of the ionic 5n and kia ev6 gt are nothing like each other while the ev6 gt
as the name suggests will exhibit a plushier ride and composed handling characteristics appropriate
for a grand tourer ionic 5n will be a completely different beast consistent with the philosophy
of the n division which has been created by bmw m division's legendary albert biermann to more
or less replicate the spirit of bavaria's finest ultimate driving machine the n version of ionic
5 will be calibrated for shorter runs to tackle tighter corners and sharp chicanes of race tracks
that's right what albert biermann's team is trying to do is turn an suv the size of santa fe weighing
4 700 pounds or over two tons into a hot hatch of the sort to complement its go fast exterior design
and consistent with the characteristics of the other ice based end cars such as i30 and i-20n
well-known for their tight body control and extreme agility to accomplish this it's revealed
that the n engineers are concentrating on tuning the chassis and suspension for optimal rebound
rates and recalibrating the electronic limited slip differential for more aggressive settings
compared to the one found in the ev6 gt the more aggressively tuned ionic 5n will
also feature contrasting design features inside and out to distinguish itself clearly from the
run-of-the-mill pedestrian versions by offering deeper air dams and aerodynamic claddings as well
as lower suspension in contrast the ev6 gt will offer a more subdued look that may be hard to
differentiate from the lower gt line version this is consistent with kia's approach to stinger gt
with the gt version sharing virtually the same exterior appearance and driving characteristics
as the gt line but offering higher performance for the pricier model this is not surprising since kia
deems the ev6 to be a sedan and a spiritual successor to the stinger as the ice legend
will fade away into history next year only after one generation in production
likely to also succeed sonata this time after eight generations of long life
when the perennial best-selling family sedan is expected to be discontinued after this generation
the ionic 6-electric sedan which has dimensions similar to sonata will also be featuring an end
version however unlike the sonata which featured a watered-down n-line model that offered 290
horsepower from its 2.5 liter turbocharged engine borrowed from genesis g80 luxury sedan with a zero
to 60 miles per hour time of 5.2 seconds ionic 6 is expected to offer full-fledged and version
apparent from the teaser image of the nda 2022 the aggressive looking ionic 6n electric super sedan
which is also expected to be unveiled at the event is likely to feature similar power and
specifications as the ev6 gt and ionic 5 and crossover brethren however as an n car ionic
6 is likely to be as aggressive as the ionic 5n in the way it's tuned and when it becomes
available within the next couple of years it surely will pose a serious threat to porsche
audi and tesla's high-end electric sedans in particular with the price that is expected to be a
fraction of the competition you can bet that ionic 6n will claim a huge chunk of the market share
especially taking into consideration the fact that it will be the fastest charging at 18 minutes 10
to 80 percent and offer advanced features such as v2l and hyundai's world-renowned self-driving
technology that's considered one of the best in the industry even exceeding that of teslas and
that's not everything to target european consumers that typically shy away from sedans in general
hyundai is cooking up something with a familiar recipe as with the design for europe genesis
g70 shooting break which featured a fantastic sleek hatchback body it's reported that a more
practical and sleeker version of the ionic 6 will become available primarily for the european market
in an interview with british magazine auto express sang yup lee the chief designer of
ionic 6 was asked whether a more versatile lift back derivative was ever considered as opposed
to the traditional notchback sedan his answer was i can make a great hatchback out of that
a shooting break as if the plan to introduce ionic 6 shooting break was already a done deal
as beautiful and practical as the ionic 6 shooting brake's predecessor g70 shooting break
the biggest shortcoming was identified as the vehicle's gutless power plant options that only
offered four-cylinder diesel and gasoline engines ranging from 199 to 249 horsepower
it will be a completely different story that will unfold this time around as ionic 6 shooting brake
will feature up to nearly 600 horsepower to go toe-to-toe with even porsche's take-in gts trim
that features 590 horsepower with more versatility and practicality offered by the ionic 6n shooting
brake with bigger real estate inside associated with a longer wheelbase and taller height and the
price that's expected to be nearly half of the taken sport turismo the wagon version of taken
sedan people will be hard-pressed not to consider the korean phenom even if the brand name may not
have the cachet of the germans however this could be the opportunity for hyundai's end to be spoken
in the same light as the bmw m and amg as the industry as a whole will be playing on an all-new
playing field with the advent of the electric car era finally and most importantly even with all the
performance and style they fully fulfill their duty as economical electric vehicles with the
estimated range of the n vehicles expected to exceed 250 miles or 400 kilometers wltp
when paired with a 77.4 kilowatt hours battery as is the case with the kia ev6 gt also expected to
be similar to the ev6 gt is the price in korea it sells for 72 million korean one which is roughly
60 000 u.s and if they can maintain the similar pricing for the n-electric cars they could be the
supercars for the masses which could be found in homes of just about every household in the
western world when they are released starting end of this year as for the end of the video
