The Mountain Bites Back: IONIQ 5 N vs Pikes Peak | Lightning in the Throttle Ep.4

After months of planning for Pikes Peak, the only direction to go now, is up. Hyundai and team Bryan Herta Autosport bring the IONIQ 5 N to Pikes Peak, with every intention to set the bar for the Electric Production SUV/Crossover record. But with its treacherous twists and turns, all the test runs in the world can’t prepare you for the unexpected challenges that could come. Paul Dallenbach, Ron Zaras, and the team face off with the mountain, as the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is just beyond the horizon.

Awesome series! Really appreciate that you didn't gloss over the crash, showing what it takes to do the mountain is everything.

10:01 와우 차가 완전 찢겨졌다 ㄷㄷ운전자도 살고 차도 폭발 안했고 ㄷㄷ현대 전기차 생각보다 충격에 강하다 ㄷㄷ

[@hi.wavejoy]

저런 사고에서도 불이 안 났다니...

[@happyday1756]

차를 아무리 잘 만들었어도 바위 같은 곳에 배터리가 찍혔다면 결과가 좋지 않았을 수도 있을텐데 다행이네요...

[@ev-mojo]

The fact that Paul is okay after such a massive crash speaks volumes about the safety built into the IONIQ 5 N. It's incredible to hear that the car exceeded even the chief steward's expectations. This incident, while unfortunate, showcases how far Hyundai has come in terms of performance and safety.

[@J-nl3ly]

Wow. That accident reminds me this is really a competition not a joke.

[@SKYZO4]

you know they did a good job when they get you excited about motorsport with an electric suv

[@yhja2311]

Why do US advertisements exclude the logo sound and 'never just drive' of the brand N slogan? Can't you add the hyundai's logo sound like overseas advertisement? @hyundai

[@gtrzdaddy]

I never liked the Hyundai logo sound. I prefer not hearing it at the end.

[@wjmichael]

Exceptional episode - keep em coming!

[@youngmanchake]

And it's all for the spirit of Never Just Drive.😊😊😊

[@schtinerbock4570]

Hyundai Rocks!

[@yoontaejung4403]

Great job. I didn't know that I got to want hyundai as my next car.

[@steveegbert3554]

So well done

[@lukedanielgalon1596]

Honestly this highlights in motorsports that is very constant anything can happen

[@gian1525]

Lucky the batterypack didn‘t start to burn 🔥

Luuuve the series! I really liked this episode.

야.... 살아서 다행인사고였네..ㅠ 진짜 살아주셔서 감사합니다..ㅠ

[@seanp2k617]

hahahaha the engine SFX @3:20 and onward. Whyyyyy 😂 just make it go whoosh. Race cars don’t need fake sounds (and neither do street cars)

[@stephencampbell9095]

While I’m no fan of the fake motor noise, it is a requirement for the electric race cars to have a, I think, a 120 db siren or other sound to warn track officials and spectators of the approaching car. Otherwise there is not enough sound to grab attention.

[@onthefly7265]

Seriously ioniq 5 this car catapult Hyundais image to the next level but if you can’t keep the great design momentum you will drop as quickly as you gain. Hyundai inster ev is a disaster in turn of design. It push Hyundai back to the shit old cheap Hyundai feeling.

[@jestrada430]

The Rivian R3X will crush this.

[@nrakma]

So will the Tywe XxRq900, to be released soon, maybe.

[@seanp2k617]

So, it used half the battery in less than 12 minutes (granted on probably the most energy-intensive road possible in the continental US)…this is why most people don’t take EV performance vehicles seriously right now. 30 mins of fun at a time before having to recharge ain’t gonna cut it for canyon driving fun on the weekends.

[@theagentsmith]

It would be interesting to know how much regen would get back on the way down. I guess it should take the battery back at least to 70%

[@fineskills1]

Why would you add internal combustion noises to the soundtrack? Ridiculously fake.

[@_AHN_]

Adding fake parts purely for aesthetics or additional engine sounds for the driving experience is also common in internal combustion engine cars. Playing engine sounds in an electric vehicle is an optional feature, not a requirement. It serves both an emotional purpose and a practical function by helping the driver perceive their speed, making it a more reasonable option than sports cars like the Jaguar F-Type, Lexus LFA, or BMW M5, which add extra engine noise solely for the driving experience.

[@pangrac1]

That fake motor sounds are stupid. 👎

[@N911GT2]

Why cares... it's a Hyundai, and it's electric. Nobody cares.

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

Just another EV shitbox 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@recon1673]

You should try it in your gas car then if you're so confident. Those are legitimate racecar drivers driving those cars up.
