It’s official: the long-awaited Hyundai Ioniq 6 N – Korea’s answer to the Tesla Model 3 Performance and the iconic BMW M3 – will finally be revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.
This makes perfect sense because, as well as being one of the most highly anticipated events on every petrolheads’ calendar, the Goodwood FoS was where the sensational Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was unveiled back in 2023.
This summer will also mark three years since Hyundai revealed the RN22e concept, which previewed the incoming performance saloon and served as a rolling laboratory for the N division boffins to work on some of the technology that would go on to feature in its high-performance EVs.
Hyundai promises the Ioniq 6 N will embody the three pillars of the N division – ‘Corner Rascal’, ‘Racetrack Capability’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car’ – while some of the changes over the regular, recently facelifted Ioniq 6 include flared wheelarches, a wider stance and lightweight wheels.
The brand has also released some more teaser images of the car – they still don’t give much away, but we can see a massive rear wing that sits just in front of a ducktail spoiler. There’s also the new rear end that has a completely black panel with laser-etched openings for the LED lighting.
