HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N
Hyundai celebrated the world premiere of its highly anticipated IONIQ 5 N with a display at the Festival of Speed. The first electrified highperformance N model was unveiled at the company’s Hyundai N exhibition stand, marking the first time the IONIQ 5 N will be shown in full, following the release of a series of teaser videos and camouflaged images that showcased key elements of the model’s technology. As the first mass-production, all-electric Hyundai N model, it will further accelerate the company’s electrification future.
As well as the unveiling of the car itself, Hyundai also showcased a ‘N Moment’ – a show run of IONIQ 5 N at the Festival’s iconic 1.87-kilometre Hillclimb event, which also featured other Hyundai N models, including the RN22e and N Vision 74 rolling labs.
Lotus Eletre
Lotus treated guests of the Festival of Speed with its biggest-ever stand, with the fullyelectric SUV, the Eletre, making its Goodwood debut.
Eletre was part of the ‘Lotus Moment’, a unique parade of Lotus cars past and present, taking place every day and a fitting tribute to celebrate the brand’s 75th anniversary year. Members of the Lotus Experience Team were also on hand to demonstrate its capabilities, including the active aerodynamics and immersive 23-speaker audio system created in partnership with British brand KEF and sound processing pioneer Dolby.

Visitors to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed were also able to see the UK debut of smart EV pioneer NIO’s ET5. Already available in China and European markets including Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, the ET5 is a compact fastback that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds thanks to a 150 kW induction asynchronous motor in the front and 210 kW permanent magnet motor at the rear. These deliver peak torque of 700 Nm.
Although no official date has been released for the ET5 to go on sale in the UK, NIO is already making plans to bring its user-focussed cars and services, such as battery swapping and NIO Houses, to the country.
