The challenge of making electric cars engaging to drive starts here. We drive Hyundai's RN22E concept that features curious new tech we'll see in upcoming high performance EVs.
It’s a big, intimidating car, the 22E. As you can see for yourself, it really does look like nothing else, which is meant entirely as a compliment, and it sounds like nothing else too when the N test driver switches the ‘fake’ sound on. I’ve never been a fan of fake sound or artificial sound embellishment in ICE cars, but if you’ve got no sound to start with it’s interesting to explore what might be possible.
The 22E is built on Hyundai’s latest 800V E-GMP platform, and features motors on the front and rear axles , each producing 215bhp and 362bhp respectively. That’s backed up by 546lb ft of torque, and then powered from the 77.4KW battery, which with the correct charger can go from 10-80% in just 18 minutes – an important claim when the N department are trying to make this EV relevant for track day goers.
Now, though, for N e-shift. It’s relatively early days for the system, but it effectively restricts peak power, then introduces a break in the delivery before bringing it back in with a controlled jolt. ‘Shifting’ is via the usual paddles behind the steering wheel. The car is very slightly slower, but the trade off is – in theory – that elusive sense of driver involvement.As it stands, it feels like a promising idea that has a little way to go yet.
