Hyundai Ioniq 5N is Coming to Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update

[MIE1992]

The problem with an EV event is most of the EVs in the game are in completely unique performance tiers, and EVs seem to not have tuning options to compensate (like they do with, say, the GT-R events).

So you'd end up with a really weird event that had the Mission X, Ioniq, Afeela and i3 as opponents, none of which are competitive with each other.

Not even with weight reductions, power limiters, and ballast being options? I do sorta see what you mean, though. I don't think every EV would necessarily be eligible, just most of them. So I could see the latter three cars being competitive, especially with PP limits. I also don't know if I'd count the Mission X since it's a concept. But I suppose on the other hand, even if we include every EV that isn't a VGT - nor the Volkswagen ID.R - that's not exactly a terribly diverse field, as it'd only feature the AFEELA, the Taycan and Mission X, the Model S and 3, and the BMW i3. Adding the Ioniq 5 N, that's just seven cars.

Now that I think of this, I think it's far more likely that the Ioniq 5 N will be featured in the WTC 600, or maybe the Clubman Cup Plus.

I wonder if they were planning to do a live reveal of the Ioniq 5 N as the prize car during the Nations Cup final but now everything's ruined.

My guess is that it'll be featured in a one-make during Race 2 of the Nations Cup, which remains TBA on the website.

Some people complain about the lack of new(made in 2022 or later) cars...Some people complains when we get new(made in 2022 or later) cars as well. Good stuff.

We still want new cars. But EVs aren't cars, they are appliances. An electric Hyundai is about as exciting as getting a new fridge.

 

[Digolgrin]

I actually don't mind this, especially since PD sounds like they're doing a lot more with the Ioniq than PG ever did in Horizon. Not allowing the simulated gearbox because Playground thought that would better convey that it was an EV was a fool's move and I'm glad to see it rectified in Gran Turismo.

Definitely the Clubman Plus races. Those are tough and fun.

You're not excited when you go appliance shopping? My firstborn gave our new washing machine a big hug when we bought that when he was 3. And my youngest called every Tesla he saw a race car last year.

EDIT: Heck, we all drove nothing but Hoovers in GT5 and 6, how bad can another one be?

If it means anything, there were only five EV road cars that I was especially interested in seeing in GT, alongside a Formula E racer. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was indeed one of them, with the other four being the first-generation Tesla Roadster, the Ford Mustang Mach E, the Pininfarina Battista, and the Jaguar I-Pace. Especially since that last one is featured in a real-world one-make series. But beyond that quintet, every other car I'd like to see is either purely ICE-powered or a hybrid. And believe me, there are at least twenty times more vehicles of that variety that I'd love to see.

I mean seriously, I think one of my biggest personal disappointments with the VGT program was when the Jaguar VGT SV was revealed as a pure EV and not a hybrid, which means that unless Jaguar does announce a hybrid version, Jaguar is stuck with the XJR-9 for representation within Gr.1. Granted, the XJR-9 is an icon, but I would've really loved to see a more modern version of sorts, especially since I profoundly doubt Jaguar will ever enter LMDh/LMH. Meanwhile, it feels like more and more automakers are getting into prototype racing - or perhaps returning to it - and I'm all for it. I suppose I can take at least solace that, in the context of the most contemporary Gr.1 cars for each brand, Jaguar went out on a high note, whereas Nissan ended with an absolute flop.

About an hour after we published the article, they were swapped out for the "gift" image:

Ummm... okay, it's back again?

Although I like it that's a relatively new car I still prefer other cars. Have fun with it.

PD are so weird.

One of the gifts is receiving the winning team’s car. We can pick one of the World Tour liveries cars in the Special Manufacturers Cup, but PD don’t make the liveries available in each respective Brand Central for those Gr.3 cars. Just weird, man.

Somebody likes the Ionic 5n... And he not just anybody.

We might as well call it the Ironiq at this point

I don’t understand how they don’t have the data that players don’t give a damn about EVs. They know we don’t drive them.

They do have such data, though.

Considering it's data we'll never have access to, it might actually point out that EVs (or hot hatches at the least) are more popular than presumed.

Here's shared content stats for all non-VGT EVs so far (how did the Taycan max out it's scapes pages, I have no idea; also note that the Mission X is only one week old at this point so that might also affect its stats):

Is this from PD & specific to what appears to be photos? Do they have other data available? Are those numbers representing by the thousands or more? It's interesting.

I'm more referring to internal data devs have access to (what cars people are using the most, miles driven, cars bought, etc). Data game devs like to sometimes float to share how big their communities are.

These are taken from shared content search in Discover; they represent the number of pages (maximum of 100) for each type of content, per car.

Ah, okay. I don't think it paints the full picture of what I'd like to see internally, but it's good insight. 👍

 

[ScottPuss20]

Hooray! I won't have to spend a fortune in Forza Horizon 5 to experience the car!

 

[05XR8]

Yeah, the only time we’ve “seen” any type of data like that from PD, were the in game car sales figures for the Supra, RX-Vision GT3 Concept and GR Yaris. Plus, a mention of the Mazda Roadster/MX-5 being the most used car in Gran Turismo Sport(said by a Mazda designer at the sketch unveil of the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept).

Okay not the N line I was looking for but at this point I’ll take it. It’s a start with new Hyundai’s I guess. I just want that i30N line hatch. And Sedan. But more so the hatch you know like everyone else is getting in their favourite racing games.

I understand where you're coming from. EVs wouldn't be my first choice, that's for sure. On a positive note, at least it's a 2020s car. I know the YouTube video tries immensely to make the car look 'fun' but it's only because he's going through chicanes at high speed. There's still zero atmosphere from an auditory POV.
