Hyundai fires up Ioniq 6 N to target BMW M3

REVEALED Long-awaited follow-up to the award- winning Ioniq 5 N is said to be even more focused

THE covers have come off the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the BMW M3 rival showed off its sleek shape and track-honed dynamics on the historic hillclimb.

The Ioniq 6 N gets much of the same tech as the 5 N, cloaked in a lower, sleeker body, with the addition of lightweight alloy wheels, a huge rear wing and ducktail spoiler.

As a result, the 6 N is 60mm wider than the standard car, with bulging wheelarches around new 20-inch rims and bespoke Pirelli tyres. Based on the recently facelifted Ioniq 6, the N gets split headlights and daytime running lights, plus a longer, lower nose and plenty of trick aero and cooling features in a new front bumper. There's lots of red detailing to the side, while at the rear a black mask gives the flagship its own look.
