The IONIQ 5 N is equipped with an 84 kWh battery pack and two electric motors generating a total output of 641 hp and a monstrous 740 Nm of torque plus all-wheel drive capabilities. All this muscle can get the IONIQ 5 N from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds all the way to a top speed of 260 km/h. Combine that with a stiffened chassis and aerodynamic upgrades, the IONIQ 5 N can electrify any racetrack it visits.
