SEOUL, July 14 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Company has debuted its latest high-performance electric sedan, the Ioniq 6 N, at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the U.K.’s premier motorsport and automotive celebration.
Announced on July 14, the launch marks the second high-performance EV under Hyundai’s N sub-brand, following the Ioniq 5 N, which also premiered at the same festival two years ago.
The Ioniq 6 N took part in the event’s headline attraction — the Hillclimb — showcasing its engineering capabilities and dynamic design to a global audience of car enthusiasts. As part of the “N Moment Performance Session,” the Ioniq 6 N joined a lineup that included the 2014 Hyundai i20 WRC and the 2024 i20 N Rally1 Hybrid, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the N performance brand.
Manfred Harrer, Head of Vehicle Development at Hyundai, said the Ioniq 6 N was developed with direct input from engineers, fans, and customers, emphasizing the brand’s core philosophy of “fun to drive.”
“We hope more people will experience the true joy of driving through this model,” he added.
