Hyundai made the new RN22e concept look, sound and feel very exciting in its presentation videos, leaving us to wonder what its intentions are exactly. Will it just eventually put something very similar to the concept into production as the Ioniq 6 N, or will the latter be considerably toned down compared to the study that the automaker says is really a rolling laboratory, so it’s fully functional, not just a show car.
The Korean automaker revealed the RN22e study pretty much at the same time as it pulled the wraps off the production Ioniq 6. Looking at the two side by side, it’s pretty clear the RN22e is base on the Ioniq 6, although it has a very tasty looking widebody kit and additional aero - it’s basically been given a racing car makeover and the same powertrain that’s going to move the Kia EV6 GT.
