Hyundai Motor held N Festival yesterday and unveiled some interesting stuff like the design of the first one-make EV race car IONIQ 5 eN1 Cup car based on the ‘eN1 Class’. Thanks to our colleagues at CarSceneKorea we can have first pictures and specifications of this high-performance electric vehicle, which will be active in the ‘eN1 Class’ on the 2024 season, raising expectations for electric vehicle motorsport.
