The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N electric sedan recorded a lap time of 7 minutes 35.42 seconds on the 20.8‑km Nordschleife circuit at the Nürburgring, according to test driver Christian Gebhard. The result places the family‑oriented sedan alongside established performance models, beating the Lexus LFA and posting times close to the Nissan GT‑R, Porsche 911 Carrera S, BMW M4 and Chevrolet Corvette C8.

Powered by a dual‑motor, all‑wheel‑drive setup, the Ioniq 6 N delivers 641 hp (650 hp in N Grin Boost mode) and 770 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0‑100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 257 km/h.
