![]() ![]() Unlike recent RM projects, which were built on VELOSTER, the N brand sought inspiration from the latest model from the company’s IONIQ line-up. For example, i20 N was directly influenced by the i20 WRC car. In the past, Hyundai’s N brand has transferred its knowledge from the racetrack to the road to develop better high-performance models. Together, these factors enabled RN22e became the first rolling lab to feature all-wheel drive with front and rear electric motors that deliver a powerful performance. RN22e is also equipped with many high-performance know-hows from previous RM projects. ![]() E-GMP incorporates innovative technologies such as 800V ultra-fast charging and the front wheel’s EV transmission disconnector technology. Unlike RM20e, which featured a midship structure that housed electric technology for the first time, RN22e is based on Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform). The number indicates the year it was manufactured, while the ‘e’ indicates electrified technology.īesides its naming style, RN22e is different from previous RM projects in other ways. The ‘RM’ name was changed to ‘RN’, as this combines the ‘R’ of ‘rolling lab’ and the ‘N’ of the N brand. The first electrified prototype, RM20e, was showcased in 2020 and continued to use the original code name.Įarlier this year, Hyundai N debuted its electrified vision along with the renewal of its rolling lab series with RN22e. Since the initiation of project RM, there has been a progressive evolution of the RM series, including: RM14, RM15, RM16 and RM19. The RM nomenclature refers to the N prototype model’s ‘Racing Midship’ rear-drive, midship powertrain configuration, a fundamental design differentiator that yields ideal handling balance and agility from a low polar-moment of inertia. Hyundai’s RM Project first began to draw attention in 2014 with its first prototype, RM14. The company recently announced it will launch IONIQ 5 N, its first fully-electric N model, in 2023. Even in the electric era, Hyundai N is pursuing the exhilarating pleasures of high-performance cars and pouring its energy into developing its three product pillars: ‘Corner Rascal’, ‘Racetrack Capability’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car’. In line with its brand vision, Hyundai’s high-performance brand is aiming to build an everyday sports car with dynamic cornering as well as racetrack capability. Despite this, some people have concerns about ZEVs, such as motorsport enthusiasts, who doubt whether electric cars can deliver the exhilaration, emotion and driving dynamics of what high-performance internal combustion engines can offer. In 2021, more than 16 per cent of Hyundai cars sold in Europe were zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). New electric vehicles (EVs) are unveiled every year, and their sales are growing rapidly. ![]() The demand for carbon neutrality for a sustainable future is growing day-by-day. Hyundai recently-unveiled RN22e, which showcases the company’s vision of a fully-electric high-performance car according to N brand's philosophy and latest advanced technologies. The automotive industry must adapt, and this will change the very concept of what high-performance cars look like. Carbon neutrality is a significant challenge. ![]()
