A new onboard video shows the speedy EV on an oval test track with banked turns, hitting 144 mph (232 km\/h) while tackling one of the inclined turns. On the straights, the electric N model got up to 165 mph (265 km\/h), which is slightly higher than the claimed top speed.<\/p>\n A separate video shows the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N in an acceleration test before tackling cones in a slalom test. Helped by the wet skid pad and the rear-biased setup of the N Torque Distribution system, the speedy EV effortlessly drifted in the hands of a professional driver. We’ll just have to get used to those fake engine sounds while those artificial gear shifts are a gimmick we honestly wouldn’t mind checking out.<\/p>\n
