Not long now, and on July 15th Hyundai will officially reveal what lies behind ‘N Day 2022,’ including a possible Ioniq 5 high-performance derivative. But, as it turns out, the virtual realm was ahead of time envisioning an even more extreme sporty EV future.
Now that Hyundai’s Ioniq line of compact five-door liftback sedans sold with hybrid, PHEV, and full EV powertrains is no more, everyone can finally concentrate on the South Korean automaker’s EV-focused new Ioniq sub-brand. And while we decide if we like the Ioniq 6 design or not, there are still a lot of things to be done with the Ioniq 5 as well.
Premiered as the first product of the new division and also the company’s first model developed on the dedicated E-GMP (Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform) electric vehicle architecture along with its Kia EV6 sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a quirky battery-electric compact crossover SUV. It has neo-retro styling, almost perfect hatchback proportions, and a flagship dual-motor AWD powertrain good for up to 321 horsepower when equipped with the 77.4 kWh extra long-range battery pack. But is that enough?
Over across the virtual realm, it may not be the case. For example, Vishnu Suresh, the self-taught concept artist behind the zephyr_designz moniker on social media has recently cooked up a digital Kia EV6 GT that looked like an absolute hoot when packing lots of carbon fiber enhancements and a set of bronze wheels. Now he is back with yet another EV track monster concept.
Naturally, the pixel master experimented with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 sibling, and his “Zephyr Hyper” body kit concept has morphed the crossover into a proper Hot Hatch that’s riddled with feisty DTM style. Thus, it arrives in crimson and black featuring “a custom-designed front and rear bumper, rear diffuser, hood vents, (plus a full) aero widebody kit!”
