SIMULATED SOUND & MANUAL TRANSMISSION 

In review of modern EV Battery Electric simulation features with an industry success 

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is a 641bhp super-saloon with fake gearshifts and engine noise

Hyundai follows the brilliant 5 N with a sharper, more track-focussed 6 N. And check out the rear wing

The Ioniq 5 N was a revelation. Hyundai’s N division took a soft and slightly lardy electric crossover and turned it into an engaging, oversized hot hatch with terrifying straight-line speed, a fake paddleshift gearbox and a proper tyre-shredding drift mode.
Now it’s time for the difficult second album, and thankfully Hyundai has decided not to stray from the original recipe. Mixed metaphors aside, the first thing you should know is this new Ioniq 6 N gets the same basic powertrain as the 5 N, which means a twin motor setup for a total of 601bhp. However, as you may remember from the 5, there’s also an ‘N Grin Boost’ button which gives you 10 seconds of 641bhp and 568lb ft of torque. Deploy that and you’ll be able to do 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds. Yikes.

And while power figures are the same, Hyundai reckons it has improved the motors with new magnets to "postpone the point of derating" on track or during hard driving.
The battery is also carried over from the 5 N, so it’s an 84kWh unit that should rapid-charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes and provide around 290 miles of range when full, although that’s currently just Hyundai’s own estimate and an official WLTP figure will follow. There have been tweaks here too, with a revised ‘N Battery Conditioning’ system that allows the driver to select either ‘Drag’, ‘Sprint’ or ‘Endurance’ modes to heat the battery to the optimum temperature for that type of driving. Drag is apparently somewhere between 30 and 40 degrees for max acceleration in one burst, while Endurance is down between 10 and 20 degrees for longer lasting performance.


Small software tweaks from the 5 N seem to be the order of the day here, with N division boss Joon Park making it clear that Hyundai has listened to customer feedback. That’s why the ‘N Drift Optimizer’ now gets more settings to customise your drift initiation, angle and wheel slip. A 2025 model year update of the 5 N added 10 levels to the system for beginners right up to a pro setting, but we’re told the 6 N goes even further.
The 'N e-Shift’ (the simulated 8spd paddleshift gearbox) has also been updated so the ambient lighting tells you when to shift up, and you can also now use it in all drive modes. Yep, even Eco. Good news for all the hypermiling track day lovers out there. The system will also now work in conjunction with N Launch Control and the Ioniq 6 N’s drift mode, so you can pull off massive ‘fourth gear’ slides to impress your pals.

There’s more – the ‘N Active Sound +’ now has a new erm… sound, plus we’re told there’s better sound quality for the fake engine noise or futuristic spaceship soundtrack. There’s also an ‘N Track Manager’ function that allows you to create custom circuits and then monitor your data and lap times. You even get a ghost car visual when running laps for the full Gran Turismo experience.
We should probably discuss the looks too, because while the 5 N is a little more aggressive looking than its standard car, the 6 N – based on the recently facelifted 6 – has been on the anabolics.
“All of the styling changes serve a purpose,” chief designer Eduardo Ramirez tells TG. “Form follows function.” Those changes include a much larger front grille with active shutters, a new front splitter and a wider body with arches that have been stretched out by 30mm each side at the front and the rear. The sills have also been rather dramatically extended out to match and you get lightweight 20in forged wheels, while round the back there’s an extended rear diffuser and a large black mask that’s dotted with tiny little pixel lights. Giant swan neck rear wing too, of course, although if that’s not eye-catching enough for you then you’ll want to delve into the N performance parts catalogue for an even bigger one.
Hyundai reckons this thing will be sharper, harder and more track-focussed than the 5 N. You can see the new rear strut brace from the boot, and we’re told the suspension geometry has been completely redesigned, with the chassis also re-engineered for less body roll. There are new ‘stroke sensing electronically controlled dampers’ and stiffer springs, and Hyundai has also been working on the brakes so that even more regen can be deployed when you stamp on the stop pedal.

There’s an electronic limited slip diff on the rear axle, and while we don’t have a weight figure just yet, we wouldn’t be surprised if this was a little lighter than the 5 N. Inside you get bucket seats, an N-specific steering wheel and lots of Alcantara.
Hyundai’s N division is now 10 years old, but Park tells TG: “That was just the first lap.” What on earth is it going to cook up next?

CADILLAC OPULENT VELOCITY 

In comparison to C/M Hyper 4

Cadillac's Opulent Velocity is a concept vehicle showcasing the brand's vision for the future of all-electric luxury performance. It explores the duality of luxury and high performance, offering both a "hands-free" autonomous experience and a "hypercar" driving mode. The concept emphasizes artful integration of technology, luxury, and exhilaration, particularly for the V-Series. 

Here's a more detailed look:

• Opulent Experience:

In this mode, the Opulent Velocity acts as a Level 4 autonomous vehicle, allowing for a hands-free, immersive experience with multi-sensory features like augmented reality head-up displays and customizable light and sound. 

• Velocity Experience:

This mode transforms the vehicle into a high-performance machine, bringing the steering wheel and pedals out for driver control. It includes features like a "Ghost Car" on the HUD for track driving, and the ability to adjust active aero and suspension damping. 

• Technology Integration:

The concept incorporates a full-width display, a 3D-printed interior motif, and a Y-shaped steering wheel. 

• V-Series Identity:

The Opulent Velocity represents a vision for the future of Cadillac's V-Series, blending luxury with high-performance capabilities. 

• Design:

The car features a fastback silhouette, massive butterfly doors, and a sleek, low-slung design.
