Developed for professional drivers, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup gets a body kit designed to provide downforce and a gutted interior.
Hyundai's first electric hot hatch, the Ioniq 5 N, will get the opportunity to prove its mettle on the track later in 2024. The company unveiled a race-ready model called Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup that will compete in a new category named eN1 that was created exclusive for electric vehicles.
At its core, the eN1 Cup is a standard Ioniq 5 N. It's built on Hyundai's Electric Global Modular Platform and it's powered by a pair of electric motors that draw electricity from an 84-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack to zap the four wheels with up to 641 horsepower. Note that this figure is only achieved when a temporary overboost function kicks in; the system makes 601 horses without it.
The similarities largely end there. Developed for professional drivers, the eN1 Cup wears a muscular-looking body kit that includes a bigger front bumper with a massive splitter, wheel arch flares that cover a wider track, polycarbonate windows, specific side skirts, and a huge rear wing for added downforce. The rear bumper gets a wide diffuser, and the eN1 rides on five-spoke forged wheels wrapped by slick tires.
Hyundai released a single picture of the interior, which shows a rectangular steering wheel. The driver sits on a racing seat and faces a digital instrument cluster, and it looks like most of the interior trim has been removed to save weight. The end result is a race car that weighs around 4,350 pounds, which is around 500 pounds less than the regular-production model.
The eN1 can charge at up to 350 kilowatts thanks in part to an 800-volt electrical system. There's no word on what effect the modifications and the weight savings have on driving range — we're curious to find out how long a full charge lasts in tough, flat-out racing conditions.Featured Gallery Hyundai Ioniq 5 N eN1 race car, official images View 9 Photos
