Lamborghini to Make Electric Car, Learning from Ioniq 5 N

KatadataOTO – Automotive brand Lamborghini plans to develop their first electric car. While they usually learn from Ferrari, this time it seems the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is one of the benchmarks.

Reported by Carscoops, Sunday (5/1), a video recently circulated, taken by a YouTuber named Varryx, showing a number of supercars entering Lamborghini's production facility. 

Drawing attention was a car from South Korea, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. It should be noted that Hyundai's N series is a line of high-performance vehicles mass-produced for consumers.

Lamborghini itself is indeed preparing its first electric car. The brand has already introduced the Lanzador Concept prototype, which provides a glimpse of their future EV (Electric Vehicle).

Lamborghini previously revealed that their electric car is planned to be completed by the end of the decade, specifically in 2030. Currently, the manufacturer is still continuously developing and refining the technology.

The Ioniq 5 N can be considered the most aggressive high-performance electric car ever produced by Hyundai. The car is equipped with an 84 kWh battery, allowing it to produce up to 641 hp and a peak torque of 770 Nm.

Hyundai also equipped the Ioniq 5 N with several supporting features to enhance the driving sensation. For example, N Grin Boost, which increases the vehicle's acceleration for 10 seconds.

Furthermore, the Ioniq 5 N has also been optimized to support the drifting experience through the N Drift Optimizer feature.

Not just for track needs, the Ioniq 5 N is also claimed to be suitable for daily use. Because it has an impressive range of more than 600 km on a single full charge.

This refers to the main principles of the Ioniq 5 N, which has three main characteristics: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability, and Everyday Sports Car.

Therefore, it is not strange that Lamborghini is using the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N as one of its case studies before presenting the production version of the Lanzador.

For your information, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has been offered to domestic consumers. It is now available for order with an estimated price of Rp 1.3 billion OTR (On The Road) Jakarta.
