Abstrakt: The article discusses the development of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, an affordable electrified small N car. Albert Biermann, the Executive Technical Advisor, explains that the goal was to create a fun driving experience in an electric vehicle (EV). The team experimented with creating sound and vibrations in an early EV concept, but it wasn't enough. Biermann suggested the idea of pretending to shift gears, which eventually led to the development of a system that provides an exciting driving experience in the Ioniq 5 N. The car underwent extensive testing, including on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and achieved impressive lap times. Biermann emphasizes the importance of racetrack capability in an N car, regardless of whether it's a combustion, EV, or hydrogen vehicle. He also expresses his belief in the potential of EV technology and the importance of making affordable cars that enthusiasts can enjoy on a daily basis. [Extracted from the article]
