Hyundai Motor’s sub-brand, N, has revealed two high-performance electrified concepts – RN22e and N Vision 74.
The South Korean automotive manufacturer said the two ‘rolling lab’ concepts are a demonstration of the company’s ambition to become a leader in the zero-emissions future. The ‘rolling labs’ are where Hyundai tests and verifies its advanced technologies to apply them to future production models.
“Rolling labs represent the continuous development of our most advanced technologies,” said Thomas Schemera, executive vice president at Hyundai Motor Company. “This unique approach makes us ready for the challenges of the future by empowering us to push ourselves to the limit.”
While the RN22e melds the all-new IONIQ 6 and the company’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E‑GMP), the N Vision 74 combines EV technology with an advanced hydrogen fuel cell system.
Hyundai says its RN22e offers racetrack-ready performance by refining and optimizing its E-GMP and packaging it in an IONIQ 6-based streamliner design. The concept received its name because it is the rolling lab of N brand developed in 2022 with EV performance. It promises 430kW (577hp) of motor power and 740Nm of torque.
The N Vision 74 is a high-performance hydrogen fuel cell hybrid rolling lab that underlines the company’s leadership in sustainable performance technology. It promises over 500kW (671hp) of motor power and 900Nm of torque, from a 62.4kWh battery combined with 95kW hydrogen fuel stack with a 4.2kg tank capacity.
Both RN22e and N Vision 74 will continue to be tested and verified by Hyundai’s engineers to equip the future N road cars with their advanced technologies.
“RN22e and N Vision 74 play an important role in the strategic development of our entire product lineup, especially our electrified, high-performance vehicles,” Schemera added.
