@@fabioa.5490 I remember a chat I had with the Head of Hyundai Marketing UK when I sold him some bits for his daughter's car. It was just after the i30 N came out and people were raving about it.

@@myetoob23he’s got a point. I’ve got high hopes for Hyundai, but whichever way you look at it, one of the biggest problems for performance EVs is their gargantuan weight

Say what you will about Hyundai, but they are killing it making cool and interesting cars! Unlike most other "mainstream" manufacturers at least here in the US.
Hyundai, please make this. It just needs a body and an actual interior and that will be one of the coolest hot hatches around. I think it’s OK that it’s electric.
Finishing a prototype this way is such a cool way to do marketing. Very engineering first approach to advertising. Normally this would be laptops and wires and instruments and square mdf dash.
Oaooohhh... So once again, the Hyundai/KIA/Genesis group shows they are the leading car brand today. Amazing development in very few years, including design, reliability, tech and new thinking
hyundai has a vibe with their evs that NO ONE else does. i feel like they are more about the car part of evs than the ev part. RESPECT. my o7 sante fes odo died at 184000 oh shoot like 6 years ago. still a great car.
I love how crazy this is, and the direction Hyundai are going. One thing that stands out is just how high you sit in an EV. Driving position looks like an SUV.
Ahahah they just made a battery on wheels. I love it. Man, hyundai are the only ones who actually give a shit about the experience. The only ones who go about EV with a sense of humour.
Hooning that car on the limit while casually talking about what he's doing - I'd say not many car journalists would be able to do that. Great to see Jethro on the channel!
Hyuandi has been my favorite brand for years now. I remember as a kid they had the tiburon with the 3 headlights and it looked weird but good. People made fun of the name all day. So dope to see them be on top now.
Hyundai's Nanyang line is very cool! I really like what they have been doing with making E vehicles appeal to enthusiasts. The performance of electric vehicles is actually really good for the most part. But there has not been as much appeal. They are naturally suited to luxury vehicles or family type vehicles because they are inherently quiet. Enthusiast vehicles typically are not very quiet. Excellent approach! Hyundai's testbed is awesome! I like what they are doing in experimenting with weight reduction. It won't just be in Hyundai's interest to get energy density up.
Hyundai does their EVs in the most cultured, driver-focused fashion. They've worked extra hard to make sure their performance EVs possess that level of passion and fun that you get from a combustion engine. This is no exception. People can laugh all they want about fake engine sounds or whatever, but in my opinion its just really cool and fun.
The volume of your voice while driving is pretty crazy to hear! Being able to talk at a normal level rather than shouting over an engine... Lol like kinda neat 😊
I love this! A great power to weight ratio is so important for a car to feel nimble. Hyundai is killing it lately. "Performance EVs" have been really limited by having an extremely heavy battery pack so far, so simply adding insane horsepower has resulted in impressive straight line acceleration but lacking the "fun" of driving a true performance car with lower mass. This prototype seems to give a glimpse at the future potential and the future is looking FUN!
Brilliant. I have a 5N. Hyundai development is keeping the EV fun. Why aren’t other car makers doing this? Rather than some 1000bhp monster. UK motor industry moaning about government targets, rather than getting down & developing EVs buyers want
who would've thought Hyundai will deliver one masterpiece after another than its European counterparts, if it was 15 years ago people will call this statement madness 😂
I love how we have two car brands experimenting with rather interesting technology on two opposite ends of the spectrum. We have Koenigsegg, the six-figure hypercar brand from Sweden, which has cars like the Regera with its single-speed transmission, and the CC850, the car that has both an automatic and manual transmission combined into one. And then we have Hyundai experimenting with the intent of making EVs fun to drive and so far it seems that they have been succeeding in a variety of ways. The N e-Shift in particular I find to be very intriguing, to say the least and this is coming from someone who's a petrolhead. If there is any brand that I think can pioneer making EVs fun to drive it would have to be Hyundai along with Kia and Genesis because if the EV6 GT was any indication, one can assume that future performance EVs and ICEVs from Kia will have the N-thusiast touch applied to them same with Genesis' Magma sub-brand.

Hyundai is the only main stream manufacturer that’s doing this and trying to get people in sport ev’s , I’ve just bought myself a new ish car hot hatch but like always like most people we can’t afford these ev’s so expensive to buy and the depreciation is hard to swallow like my wife is going to find out when she changes her ev she’s got ,, and I’m definitely not a hater off ev’s either definitely got a place in the world 👍
A recent study from the Global EV Drivers Alliance (GEVA) has determined that less than 1% of electric vehicle drivers wish to switch back to driving a gasoline or diesel-powered car.

These include Austria, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
I appreciate Hyundai going crazy, but I can't imagine how I would use a drift/rally car for IRL. The most exciting EV for me, is the Caterham Project V concept
There are EV rally drivetrains already. Not sure they're anyway lightweight for what they are. My question: has anyone ever put that drivetrain in a light chassis and under a light body? Give me a CAD designer, a welder and a lot of high grade tubing, and I'll show you a slightly oversized Ariel Nomad with 1/4th of a Rimac Nevera R drivetrain (30 kWh, 500+ hp peak) and very light motors. Perhaps even 4 from F1: 160 hp/8 kg per motor per wheel. With a lower top speed, around twice the road torque per motor. Integrate it well and it will FLY. Main downside remains the sound and the lack of direct gift back to local nature through CO2 emissions (= nothing but plant food, the actual breath of life, fact check that).
I love EVs however I hate that fake combustion noise. noise serves no purpose. unnecessary. the main thing I love about my EVs over my fuel rigs is the lack of noise. you can have mega performance with an ev without all that fake noise. if you are really addicted to noise drive a fuel rig. illl keep my silent but strong EV.

It looks like an electric Kona cut in half with an i5N rear half, and all the panels removed...The Kona feels very small when you pull up next to an Ioniq 5...but definitely would be entertaining. Although it does seem that every recharge would also require a new set of tyres 😂. I love the Kona EV for the school run, I just hate when people think they’re saving the planet. That’s why I use the EV in traffic, my old XC-70 3.2L on long highway drives and a Sportage Diesel on winding mountain trips. Tasmania is good for all those conditions...although I do miss my Landcruiser and my Prado. But it is annoying being a musician and a car enthusiast...you can’t really fit your gear into a “fun” car. Which is why I went for off-roading, then kids (and COVID) make a Volvo a viable option. 😂 but Hyundai/Kia (Kia was first with the better designs and Australian suspension tuning) are great cars...even the old models, were horrible cars to drive, while Australia still had the Commodore and Falcon, they were falling to pieces after a few years, when old Hyundai and Kia models were just as bad from new with 280,000km on the clock... Work in car sales for a while and my SL Sportage never had an issue when the Audi required 3 new gearboxes. I would take a Hyundai/Kia any day over anything VW owned brand. People can hate EV’s but to me (if you can charge one at home) they’re just a different power plant...off-road and towing, the a diesel is ideal. Cruising on a highway then a petrol is lovely, and in traffic that’s when you want an EV. You’re not saving the planet regardless...although you are depending on what application you use your vehicle for. But EV evangelicals....avoid them at all costs and say “yep, it’s great...but It’s far more efficient to drive the inline 6 petrol on longer highway drives”

Whilst I love everything about the idea of an EV that is fun and driver oriented, the real breakthrough is going to be bringing this idea down to an attainable level. 70k for the Ioniq 5N is just not there. Give us the Miata of EVs and we might actually make headway into "enthusiast" EVs.
I prefer my engine to have a sound but tbh people who complain about the drivetrain most of the times cant even drive properly but will still blame eveything on a car
electric cars should be made like simulator's, with butt Shaker for immersion, with seatbelt simulation, with the fans going up when speed goes up, etc... you dont need to mimick a combustion car, you need to think im terms of what can enhance the driver experience, if this is a imput that normal car's don't have, soo be it. and adjustability is another thing, why not make the car with wifi connection and a Google website that you can do every config of the car to your spec and just upload it to the car? configure throttle, brake, steering, even uploading a sound to the car... this gives to the owner a immersion that they don't have is normal car's. also a thing that annoy me is the throttle, like in simulator's, the car should have a long travel throttle because you dont have every sensation that you have in light weight combustion cars, every imput and connection to the driver need to be at 200% for then to fell something, otherwise you always will fell something is missing.
Kudos to Hyundai for realising that people actually want to enjoy driving and not just be herded into the next legislated version of the car or even autonomous boxes. Maybe E or hydrogen fuelled fun cars or hydrogen EVs will get in on the action at Hyundai- lightweightimg has got to start with removing those batteries…
