As a seasoned gamer and auto enthusiast with a soft spot for high-performance electric vehicles, the Hyundai RN24 concept left me utterly thrilled! My heart races at the prospect of this Rolling Lab embodying the essence of motorsport on our roads. With its WRC-inspired design, I can’t help but reminisce about those exhilarating rally gaming sessions that got my adrenaline pumping.
2024 saw me witnessing the unveiling of Hyundai’s visionary RN24 “Rolling Lab” concept at N Day, a testament to their forward-thinking approach in high-performance electric vehicles (EVs). As a fan, I was thrilled to see how they leveraged their IONIQ 5 N platform’s dual-motor system, integrating it with a nimble and responsive chassis inspired by the World Rally Championship. The aim? To deliver unparalleled agility and control in the next generation of Hyundai’s high-performance EVs.
The RN24 embodies Hyundai N’s approach to applying racing technology for everyday use, based on three fundamental concepts: “Agile Cornering,” “Race Track Performance,” and “Street Sports Car.” Unlike conventional electric vehicle ideas, the RN24 emphasizes a lightweight, compact structure. This design is bolstered by a 640 horsepower electronic system derived from the IONIQ 5 N, which has been adapted to fit into a wheelbase similar in size to the B-segment Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid.
The RN24 boasts suspension and drive control systems reminiscent of rally racing, enabling drivers to customize performance settings right from the steering wheel, much like Hyundai’s rally vehicles. Its sturdy structure is supported by an open roll cage and 3D-printed reinforcements for both lightweight durability and increased stability. Furthermore, this vehicle boasts a distinctive sound system, with side speakers and a rear fender functioning as a speakerbox to produce sounds that harmonize with its performance.
As I write this, Hyundai hasn’t disclosed detailed plans regarding the RN24 yet, but we’re eagerly anticipating further developments in the near future.
