The world of high-performance EVs is getting noisier (quite literally) with Hyundai's freshly revealed 2025 Ioniq 6 N. It is a full-blown, dual-motor, 650-horsepower beast tuned for track fun, sideways action, and rapid autobahn blasts.
650 HP, Drift Mode, and N Grin Boost
Powering the Ioniq 6 N is a pair of electric motors that combine for a peak output of 641 hp (478 kW) when you activate “N Grin Boost” - a temporary overboost mode that lasts for 10 seconds. Regular driving gives you 601 hp, which is still more than enough to get the tail swinging, especially since this car comes with a dedicated Drift Mode and a specially developed e-LSD at the rear.
The 0–100 km/h time stands at just 3.4 seconds, and top speed? 260 km/h. That’s squarely in Porsche Taycan 4S territory. The instant torque, AWD traction, and low center of gravity all come together to make this a seriously capable machine on paper.
Designed for the Nürburgring
Hyundai didn’t just slap an "N" badge and call it a day. The Ioniq 6 N has been engineered to survive punishing laps at the Nürburgring. It comes with enhanced thermal management, a reinforced battery pack, and larger 400 mm front brakes. The battery is the same 84.0-kWh pack as in the Ioniq 5 N, but software tweaks ensure better endurance and power delivery in high-performance scenarios.
It’s even got "N Battery Preconditioning" and a “Race” mode split into “Endurance” and “Sprint,” letting drivers choose whether they want consistent performance over many laps or max attack for a few hot ones.
Looks Subtly Wild
While not as boxy or shouty as its sibling, the Ioniq 5 N, the Ioniq 6 N carries a subtler but no less serious design. It rides lower, has a more aggressive stance, and features a front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a new ducktail-style spoiler.
The car sits on lightweight 21-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero rubber and has a specially developed suspension system with adaptive dampers.
And Yes, It Has Fake Sounds
Like the Ioniq 5 N, the Ioniq 6 N offers N Active Sound+, which simulates engine noises ranging from turbocharged ICE sounds to jet fighter-style effects. Three sound profiles are on offer: Ignition, Evolution, and Supersonic. They can be piped in through 10 internal and external speakers. It’s gimmicky, but Hyundai says it helps build driver connection in a world where EVs can otherwise feel sterile. At least they’re trying.
Hyundai has remained coy regarding pricing information for the Hyundai 6 N or when it’ll go on sale.
