Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA Spec: What’s new?
The Ioniq 5 N TA Spec carries over the Ioniq 5 N’s performance-focused powertrain, however, maximum output has been increased through software tuning. This results in an increase of 37hp over the Ioniq 5 N, totalling up to 687hp – making it the most powerful iteration of the EV yet.
In addition, Hyundai has modified the speakers of the car and the N Active Sound+ system to enhance driver feedback and replace sirens typical of electric Pikes Peak race cars. To adapt the car for Pikes Peak, the company has added new shock absorbers, motorsport-spec brakes, 18-inch Yokohama ADVAN 005 slick tires, and a high-downforce aerodynamic package that includes a front splitter, a large rear wing and more.
Additional safety enhancements include a Recaro Pro Racer SPA Hans seat, Sabelt six-point Hans safety harness, a PPIHC specification roll cage and an EV fire suppression system. The Ioniq 5 N TA Spec models are wrapped in a special ‘N’ design livery.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA Spec: Battery, range
The Ioniq 5 N TA Spec is equipped with the same 84kWh battery pack as the regular Ioniq 5 N, however, range for this model isn’t specified. The Ioniq 5 N offers a claimed range of up to 448km, and boasts a 0-100 kph time of 3.4 seconds, before topping out at 260kph.
