On paper, it all seems quite silly. The Ioniq 5 N is a Hyundai SUV, but the company says it’s built for the race track. It has 601 all-electric horsepower, but it will simulate the feeling of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and make itself sound like a four-cylinder gas car. It can allegedly handle more on-track abuse than any EV sold by BMW, Tesla or Ford, but it is also a $67,475 Hyundai. It is the best performance EV ever built, and I still can’t tell if it will be a success.
