Hyundai appears to be nailing the “make a fun electric car” brief right now.

For the Ioniq 6 N, Joon Park, boss of Hyundai's N division, told me that the target was running upward of eight five-minute laps in Endurance mode without derating. The engineering team sampled the raspy, rattling, popping cacophony of the company's i20 WRC car to create a fantastic aural fanfare to accompany the launch control that precedes a 3.2-second 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) sprint. Don't worry, Hyundai is launching a new line of N Performance parts, enabling buyers to swap on a positively massive rear wing that follows the trend of gooseneck mounting, a design popularized by modern GT racing.
