Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec Car with 678bhp Unveiled Ahead of 24 Hours of Nurburgring

South Korean manufacturer Hyundai has just taken the wraps off the Ioniq 5 N Pikes Peak race car ahead of the 2024 edition of the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Touted as the Ioniq 5 N TA (Time Attack) Spec, the model is a modified version of the Ioniq 5 N which will race at this year's Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in June. Hyundai will campaign the two Time Attack Spec cars in the modified electric SUV/Crossover class at Pikes Peak. 

Over the standard Ioniq 5 N, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA Spec also gets a 'high-downforce' aero kit, which includes a massive rear wing, side sills, and fender flares. Then, there are 18-inch 11J forged wheels, Yokohama ADVAN 005 slicks, new shock absorbers, and motorsport-spec brakes. The suspension setup is updated with three-way adjustable dampers, while the stopping power comes from six-piston brakes at the front and four-piston clamps at the rear. Ride height and camber are also adjustable.

Additionally, the Time Attack comes with modified external speakers producing the ‘N Active Sound+’ at over 120 decibels to enhance driver feedback and replace sirens typical of electric Pikes Peak race cars.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec: Powertrain

Under the hood, the Ioniq 5 N TA Spec gets the same motors and 84kWh battery pack as the standard Ioniq 5 N; however, the powertrain setup is retuned to develop 678bhp, up by 37bhp using an overboost function. Other specifications including range are yet to be revealed. For your reference, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N claims a range of up to 448km. Hyundai says the Ioniq 5 N can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds before hitting a top speed of 260km/h.

Along with the Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Specs, Hyundai will also bring two production-spec standard Ioniq 5 Ns, hoping to make the ‘Electric Production SUV/Crossover' record. The only visual differences from showroom stock would be roll cages and necessary gear.
