.Hyundai RN22e provides a near-term preview of upcoming N division EV tech:
that we drove in Europe last month. The RN22e features the same 77.4-kWh battery pack, and Hyundai quotes the same 430-kW peak output and up to 546 pound-feet of torque. The company's engineers confirmed that the RN22e shares its motors with the Kia, with the rear motor using a dual-stage inverter that features silicon carbide semiconductors.
Much of the adhesion was doubtless down to the prototype's track-biased Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. But the ease with which the RN22e's cornering attitude could be tucked and tweaked was also evidence of the cleverness of its all-wheel-drive system, which can vary torque across the rear axle to help the car turn and dig in. Even when pushed to the very edge of adhesion on some of Bilster Berg's faster corners it felt impressively stable.
That's where the second system comes in: Hyundai engineers refer to it as the virtual gearshift, and it brings the steering wheel paddles into use. Once the system is switched on, the speakers start to simulate the sound of rising revs, ultimately bringing the car to a simulated rev limiter if the driver doesn't "upshift" to the next ratio in time. This felt obviously silly, but also kind of fun.
