Hyundai N has revealed its latest “rolling lab” at the N Day 2024 online event, offering a look into the future of high performance electric vehicles. This radical departure from conventional automotive design showcases Hyundai N’s relentless pursuit of innovation and performance.
While it’s unlikely to grace public roads, this experimental vehicle serves as a testament to the immense potential of electric powertrains and cutting edge engineering. Drawing inspiration from the N Vision 74, this new rolling lab takes things a step further, prioritizing lateral dynamics and performance.
By combining a compact, rally-inspired chassis with a powerful dual-motor electric powertrain, Hyundai N engineers have created a vehicle that prioritizes pure driving excitement. This bold approach, reminiscent of a mad scientist’s workshop, demonstrates Hyundai’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance.
This latest creation highlights the synergy between Hyundai’s motorsport heritage and its vision for the future of electric vehicles. The compact chassis and powerful electric motors enable exhilarating performance, while the stripped down design emphasizes the raw, unfiltered driving experience.
As Hyundai N continues to explore the possibilities of electric powertrains, we can expect to see even more innovative and exciting vehicles in the years to come. The Hyundai RN24 is a radical departure from the Ioniq 5 N, prioritizing performance over size and straight-line speed. While retaining the 84 kWh battery pack, it boasts a significantly shorter wheelbase, bringing it closer to the dimensions of a subcompact car.
This drastic reduction in size has allowed for a WRC-inspired suspension setup, a sophisticated powertrain control system, and a louder, more aggressive sound system. Additionally, the RN24 introduces a Rally Mode and an e-Handbrake, further emphasizing its focus on dynamic driving experiences.
Despite its compact dimensions and substantial weight, the RN24 promises exhilarating performance, with a 0-100 km/h time of under 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. This Rolling Lab showcases Hyundai N’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of electric performance and demonstrates the untapped potential of high-performance EVs.
