Here’s what the company said:
Commenting on the announcement, Till Wartenberg, Vice President and Head of N Brand & Motorsport at Hyundai Motor Company, said, “The Nürburgring is where every N model is honed to the Nth degree, so our first high-performance, all-electric N model must also prove itself here. The IONIQ 5 N just completed its 10,000 km durability test on the Nordschleife, which is an important milestone that proves the vehicle’s high endurance and racetrack capability. And yet, we just began our second 10,000 km test to push IONIQ 5 N’s limits.”
