# Hyundai Ioniq 5 N to Challenge Lamborghini’s Pikes Peak Record
### Hyundai Aspires to Make History at Pikes Peak
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of Pikes Peak, and for Hyundai, the goal is crystal clear – to claim the spotlight by attempting to break the course record set by Lamborghini’s Urus Performante. In a bold move, Hyundai is bringing a fleet of four electric Ioniq 5 N performance crossovers to take on this remarkable challenge.
### Star-Studded Driver Lineup
Hyundai recently unveiled its all-star driver lineup for the upcoming Pikes Peak race, including the expertise of race veterans like Paul Dallenbach, Robin Shute, Dani Sordo, and Ron Zaras. The team’s mix of talent and experience is sure to make waves as they chase victory at the iconic Race to the Clouds.
### The Battle of the Titans
The stage is set for an epic showdown between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the Lamborghini Urus Performante. The Hyundai boasts 601 horsepower (641 in launch mode) and a weight of 4,916 pounds, while the Urus slightly outweighs it at 4,986 pounds but packs more power with 657 hp. It’s a clash of titans with each vehicle bringing its own strengths to the table.
### Hyundai’s Formula for Success
While the Urus may have a power advantage, the Hyundai team is counting on their vehicle’s lighter weight, superior weight distribution, and lower center of gravity to give them the edge. The electric powertrain of the Ioniq 5 N promises instant power delivery, a crucial factor in high-altitude races like Pikes Peak where traditional engines can suffer from power loss.
### Conclusion
As the Hyundai team gears up for the challenge ahead, all eyes are on their bid to rewrite history at Pikes Peak. With a mix of skill, strategy, and cutting-edge technology, Hyundai’s pursuit of victory promises to be a thrilling spectacle.
