The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N completely changed the future for driving enthusiasts

I partnered with Hyundai to make this video. I wouldn’t have if I didn’t personally enjoy what their brand is doing. Someone needed to make an EV that appeals to people that like to tinker and play. Hyundai did just that.

I don't have much sympathy for people who buy a house near a track and then complain they are near a track.

[@NorwayVFX]

It's incredible how stupid some people are, my local track was built in an old quarry on a mountain about 40 minutes from the nearest town yet I wouldn't be surprised if someone managed to build a house there and then proceed to complain about the noise. This literally happens to every track around the world no matter where they build it.

[@aserta]

Especially when the track is a historic one from 1957 AND one of the first developments in the area. They can go away, nobody's forcing them. It's not like in Australia where some dingus made an airport's path in a residential area and the citizens are arguably and for the right reasons, pissed off. No, they came here fully aware that the track was there.

[@gafrers]

You would have even less for people who built a house 50 years after the track was already there and has always been in use.

[@neukin]

Sucks lawyers live off that sort of stuff. Slowing eating away at what it means to live in America.

[@SkeletonGuts]

Same thing with people near where I live complaining about noise from a private airport. Like what did you expect, you literally bought a house right off the runway, maybe you should move out and let the hobbyist pilots that want to live at a private airport move in. It’s not like it was a hidden fact when you were buying the house.

I don't dislike the Ioniq 5 N and genuinly am considering it as a replacement for my i30N...but 'neighbours' buying a house next to a 70 year old racetrack complaigning about the engine noise don't need silent race cars as a response. They need a huge giant and deafening 300dB 'F*CK OFF' blasted their way.

[@aserta]

They need to find new houses is what they need. That track is not only iconic for the area AND a historic landmark, it's also one of the oldest developments in the zone. Priority right. Given that the track (afaik) already makes noise concessions, these people can go eat a big one behind a Maccas.

[@andrewable2634]

I can not lie the fake engine sound is super corny 😂

[@aserta]

Yeah, but it's not like only EVs are doing it. All car brands from cheap to expensive are enhancing their engine sounds through the speaker system. I always laugh my arse off whenever someone plays with the sound system in their car, mods it, and thus disconnects it from the brain box and they then post questions like "i changed my audio system and my engine sounds rough, how can i fix it?" (paraphrased, reddit/quora and other websites). It's literally one of the most hilarious things in car history.

[@mikescudder4621]

I think thats the point. It certainly has other sound profiles too....

[@lukaszM46]

it sounds so retro lol, like from an 90s video game with synthesizers sound

[@scotty305]

Agreed, I think it would be more tolerable if the fake engine sounded more like Gran Turismo or Assetto Corsa's fake 4-cylinder engine sound. Whatever the OEMs are doing it sounds too fake. Personally I would want to hear the actual inverter sound on an EV, if you remove the sound deadening or put a microphone near them there is a cool high-pitched whine that sounds different at low power vs high power. The Ford CobraJet 1400 EV drag car is a good example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKnQm6dngLqeY7c

Do you know what the Mustang, the BMW M5, S4 sedan, Porsche cars, Cadillacs and Ferraris have in common? You guessed it, engine sound enhancement systems pipe fed through the car's speaker system to enhance the sound of their engine making them sound louder or bassier or both.

Imagine a disjointed drive (4 independent motors) and independent suspension on all 4 (with control) having that ability. You could basically program the thing to be flatter through corners than a pancake. Super interesting. I think someone played with one of those self extricating Mercedes Benz SUVs (the ones rappers buy because they go up and down like they're on hydraulics) and is making test runs. He or she shows up on the Nurburgring every once in a while and that SUV is extraordinarily "handlable" for its overall shape and purpose.

[@andrewdekoning]

The great thing is to have fun on the track you do not need to get a brand new Hyundai. The Model 3's are now getting down to the price where an everyday enthusiast can own them - $20k is not unheard of, and there are shops (Mountain Pass Performance, Unplugged) that can get the rest of the necessary toys for another $1-10k depending on the level of prep you desire. In a reduced power format these are great lappers and fun to drive and very inexpensive. You can also go crazy and get a Plaid like we did for the @teamPGR car and be one of the fastest out there in time trials. All while making no noise and still having a ton of fun. The future of the hobby is bright! We just need more tracks like Laguna, AMP, etc to get DC fast chargers in the paddock. Always great to see and talk with Rob at the GL events.
