    The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is BACK, and this time it’s taking on the almighty AMG GT!
    So how do the two compare? Well starting with the Hyundai, it’s powered by two electric motors which combine to produce an incredible 650hp and 740Nm of torque. Given the two motors it comes with four-wheel drive, but the large battery adds to the weight, meaning it tips the scales at 2,235kg! However, all that power comes relatively cheap, with the IONIQ 5 N starting from £65,000.
    Then we come to the AMG. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 585hp and 800Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it comes in a bit lighter than the IONIQ, weighing in at 2,130kg. However, it is SO much more expensive than the Hyundai, costing around £165,000!
    So what do you think - can a Hyundai take on this AMG heavyweight? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

      @@MilodeVries The issue here is it gains speed just at the right time to get a good 1/4 mile time - earlier or later it loses out.
      That suggests overvolting like Tesla used to do and its not something that can usually be repeated continually. While the battery is new and full its fine but as it ages not so much.
      It will be interesting to see how they behave after the OTA updates start coming in.

      @@siraff4461 you are filling in dots that we don't know.
      If you look at the 0-200 curve, you can see it's quite linear, just tapers of at the end, since it cannot maintain NGB (the boost) for longer than 10s.
      They architected for longevity and fun on the track, 0-100 and 1/4 mile are a lot less important. Hell even lap times aren't that important to them.
      I don't see why they would pull tricks like you mention. All the reviews are raving because of the other stuff, the straight line performance just isn't that exiting for electric cars. Sure, it enables videos like this, but I can't imagine that being very high on the list of Hyundai's priorities.
      But we'll see ofc. Unfortunately mine crashed after only 4000km, so no info on longevity there. But you can see it in Misha's vid, so in a way it lives on forever

But with all the european brands suddenly focusing on straightline speed than anything else, they're slowly becoming the worst of both worlds as evs are undoubtedly the answer for straightline performance. Even Toyota is aware of this and decided not to prioritize straightline performance on their future gasoline sports cars but instead of the fun and the experience.

    Actually the overall weight of the Ioniq 5N considering it's a EV is not that bad. AMG GT is engineered for a completely different undertaking. Nice comparison both are brilliant kits. Matt vs Tiff make it happen Carwow generation drag race. A once in a lifetime Event !

      I don’t see why you would choose this over the new Model 3. It’s 800lbs heavier, slower in a straight line, 80 miles less range, and $20k more expensive. Sure the brakes are said to be better on the I5N, but you could spend $10k on 8-piston ceramics for the Model 3 and still be under the cost of the I5N.

      Look at Misha who raced both of these on the nurburgring. The Ioniq 5 N was able to complete 2 laps with ZERO over heating issues or over heating brakes. When he tested the brand new Highland Model 3 Performance the brakes gave up and caught one fire/smoked after 1/4th of the first lap and then the car cut power by 50% by through the first lap because the motor/battery were over heating.
      Now the EU gets a different battery than NA. So maybe American ones will be better. But either way if you wanna do track driving or very aggressive road driving the Ioniq 5 is better. It's also more practical and more fun with the fake shifts, drifts modes, etc.
      But if you just wanna performance EV for daily driving the Model 3 is an amazing deal. It's also very much improved is great to drive according to people who have compared the N and 3​@@josephquinto5812

      @@josephquinto5812 You can spend $10k to solve the brake issue and spend another $10k to solve the battery overheating issue in Tesla Model 3 Performance. Even then, you are left with a lesser product without the warranty that has no extra bells and whistles like eShift, active sound, N pedal (one pedal driving around the track), 0.6g regen braking, 800v architecture, much faster charging, etc. Plus, I5N is a midsize CUV, and Model 3 is a compact sedan. So, if you want to get a Model 3 and modify it for the track use, why not just buy I5N?

      Why are you buying a CUV for the track? Dropping $20k on the Model 3 would only solidly it as significantly better than the I5N lol. No amount of brain dead tik tok features will change the fact the I5N is 800lbs heavier than the Model 3
