Hyundai RN24 exterior and interior photos.
The Hyundai RN24 prototype is a test bed for future technology. We don't expect windshields to go extinct, but the RN24's drift stick and compact battery could make the jump to production.
You don't have to imagine what the drivetrain of the 641-hp Hyundai Ioniq 5 N might be like in a WRC car. The RN24 is it.
There's no glass, no doors, no mirrors, and no ABS. The RN24 sheds weight—roughly 700 pounds—for the sake of outright enthusiasm.
We murdered a few sets of Hankook tires drifting the RN24 in an open lot within the property of Sonoma Raceway in California.
Like Hyundai's championship-winning rally car, the RN24 uses quick-ratio steering, making it easier to flick it into a sideways slide.
The Ioniq 5 N has two speakers that emit its virtual engine noises, but the RN24 gets four—one of which uses the rear fender work as a resonator to make the sound easier for bystanders to enjoy.
The RN24 uses an 84.0-kWh battery pack, which matches the net capacity of the Ioniq 5 N's but is 6.5 inches shorter, as engineers have folded either end to make it applicable to shorter-wheelbase vehicles.
