Concept was created as part of a brief “to fit the most powerful EV powertrain into the smallest possible package"
Hyundai has unveiled the RN24, a barebones rolling lab that uses motorsport-inspired tech to preview the “near future” of the brand’s high-performance electric vehicles. Based on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5 N, but made 340mm shorter thanks to a redesigned battery pack, the concept pairs its sibling’s 641bhp, 546lb ft dual-motor set-up with a lightweight WRC-inspired chassis.
Hyundai has also equipped the RN24 with a next-generation WRC-derived software system, as well as a large aero-inducing rear wing and faster steering setup, to maximise agility and control for “rally car-level response”, it claims. As part of that, the concept gets a Rally Mode, which electronically simulates the technical four-wheel drive system used by the i20 N Rally 1 to optimise torque distribution to the wheels.
