Charged-up Hyundai Ioniq 5 spotted rustling around the North Loop

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has already won the World Car of the Year 2021 award among some others, but the Korean automaker feels it can do more with it by introducing a high-end specification.

A test vehicle spotted at the Nürburgring this weekend wore a disguise wrap with the “Never just drive” motto on it: Hyundai uses it for its sported-up N lineup. The car remains to be announced, though, and there is no guarantee that it will be called Ioniq 5 N.

Compared to the stock car, the alleged N version has larger wheels, low-profile tires, and added ground clearance. We would not be surprised to see it rock a more aggressive body kit as well. Interior additions will probably include sport seats and steering wheel.

The standard Ioniq 5 hits the wheels with 325 PS (321 hp / 239 kW) and 605 Nm (446 lb-ft) of torque.
