Hyundai N

Ever since Hyundai's zero-emissions N Vision 74 concept car first appeared on the scene a few years ago, car lovers have been desperate to see the thing move from prototype to product. Their wait may soon be over.

Hyundai has unveiled its first N branded electric performance vehicle. Unveiled as a precursor to the AutoMobility LA show (aka the LA Auto Show), the Ioniq 5 N features 641 hp (478 kW) of output potential with a two-stage inverter and 84-kWh battery.

A newly-updated Veloster N aims to take sporty Korean hot hatch driving to the next level, with an 8-speed DCT and a videogame-like 20-second "N Grin Shift" turbo overboost adding giggles to the ride.

Apparently, Hyundai Australia has an "underground skunkworks team" – and that team decided to make good on an April Fool's prank to produce this, the iMax N eight-seater "Drift Bus," which will race in the World Time Attack Challenge this weekend.

Rimac, maker of some of the most extreme electric sports cars the planet has ever seen, is about to get its fingers into the mass market pie through a US$90 million investment from Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia.

Hyundai has brought forth a new generation for the Veloster coupe with an all-new 2019 model year design for the car, plus a turbocharged option and a new, high-performance model under Hyundai’s N lineup. Also in Detroit is the Veloster special edition made for the upcoming Marvel Ant-Man movie.

Having established its high performance N sub-brand in 2015 with some concept cars, Hyundai has unveiled the first production vehicle to be released under the N banner. With the i30 N, the Korean automaker says it wants to bring ""exhilarating driving pleasure" to the masses.
