The Hyundai RN22e Is An EV Concept With More Power Than A Porsche 911 Turbo | Carscoops carscoops
over the last decade and it’s only getting stronger. Today, the Korean brand has announced two new rolling lab concepts that signal the future of performance at Hyundai. The first, dubbed the RN22e, is an all-electric monster with some 576 horsepower and 545 lb-ft 740 Nm) of torque.
Those motors are powered by a 77.4 kWh battery pack that’s built atop a 400- / 800-volt architecture. That should sound familiar to Hyundai and Kia fans as it’s the basis for the group’s. The RN22e which itself is packaged in the body of the upcoming IONIQ 6, is the very first time that Hyundai has used the E-GMP platform for a rolling lab project and it looks like a real winner from what the brand is telling us.First of all, it’s equipped with all-wheel drive. A single motor sits at each axle.
The brand is hoping to cement itself even further as a serious performance vehicle builder as the transition to electric vehicles takes hold. “N is moving forward to set new standards in sustainable high performance. We enthusiastically start this new chapter of electrified high-performance and will pursue this goal by using our creativity, engineering expertise and competitive spirit,” said Till Wartenberg, the VP of N Brand Management at Hyundai.
Hyundai says that “Both RN22e and N Vision 74 will continue to be tested and verified by Hyundai’s engineers, so future N road cars can be equipped with their advanced technologies.” so don’t expect the RN22e to ever be a production vehicle, but much of its tech could very well make it to the road.
