If you thought the Ioniq 6 looked sexy, then Hyundai thought they could do one better and bring a car that would reveal the look of the Ioniq 6 but take it to the next level. It calls the car the RN22e and according to the company it offers racetrack-ready performance. As Hyundai N’s first rolling out Lab to be based on the e-GMP platform, which is the basis for EVs like the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and even the Kia EV6, the RN22e is the vision of the electrified N brand, opening up the potential for higher and higher-end EVs. Indicates direction. Performance EV models in the future.
The RN22e is equipped with AWD and according to Hyundai, the system offers optimized torque distribution as per the various drive modes which allows the drivers to choose the torque power at the front and rear wheels. On the power front, the RN22e generates 577 Bhp and this is the combined output from the motors on the front and rear axles. The car also generates a powerful 740 Nm of torque. It gets a 77.4 kWh battery pack with 400-V/800-V fast multi-charging capability. Hyundai has also mentioned that it can charge 10-80% in just 15 minutes. The RN22e has a top speed of 250 kmph and that’s great, as it needs everything in a straight line on the track. But what about the corners?
Well, Hyundai is developing cornering capability and is offering e-LSD, Corner Carving Differential, for most of the N models. The RN22e elevates the corner carving feel with essentially heavy weight, by exploring torque vectoring by twin clutch. In addition, the 3D printed parts reduce weight and maintain rigidity for better corner attack.
To enhance the RN22e’s racetrack capability, N focused on cooling and braking to increase endurance. The RN22e offers track-optimized settings for customers to enjoy the circuit without distractions. With four-piston monoblock calipers and a 400-mm hybrid disc, the RN22e is able to withstand the load of its Power Electric (PE) system. In addition, Hyundai will use the N RN22e to study how to deliver dynamic motion with region-braking that precisely controls yaw and corner attack.
Hyundai’s N brand is developing new features, such as an immersive driving experience, for the electrified model. The RN22e offers N Sound+, which generates sound from internal and external speakers for a dynamic driving experience. Furthermore, the N E-Shift integrates the vibration and shifting feel with the N Sound+. Since this is a rolling lab where Hyundai N continuously develops advanced technologies, these emotional driving experiences will be further developed through the RN22e in a variety of ways for drivers to choose their own fun.
By adopting the streamlined design of the IONIQ 6, the RN22e will take advantage of the new EV’s aerodynamic features. Through low ground clearance and loud shoulders, the Hyundai N achieved a design with a wide and strong stance. Maintaining the design of the IONIQ 6, the lower bumper has been designed to be sporty, providing an unexpected allure. With these functional aesthetics, the RN22e can improve its cooling and aerodynamics.
Measuring 4,915 mm long, 2,023 mm wide and 1,479 mm tall on a 2,950 mm wheelbase, the RN22e will continue to evolve with motorsports expertise and what this truly means is that the company continues to innovate, expand expertise and bring customers the core joy of driving real Emphasis on giving. Electric sports car.
