For the 2025 PPIHC, Evasive is looking forward to unlocking the potential of the IONIQ 5 N, Hyundai’s first high-performance EV. Boasting 641 hp and 568 pound-feet of torque (with N Grin Boost activated) plus a suite of track-ready features, Evasive is confident that by applying key learnings from its Model 3 racecar, the team will be poised to continue its electrifying success once the green flag drops. Evasive has prioritized tuning the IONIQ 5 N in terms of downforce and weight savings, since the electric motors can’t be tuned. The in-house EVS Tuning division has successfully shaved 500 pounds from the 4,851-pound vehicle by stripping the interior and fabricating a pair of doors and a new tailgate from carbon fiber. One of the biggest hurdles has been sourcing competition parts for the new vehicle, since very few exist. However, several partners and suppliers have stepped up to provide or produce what was needed. Voltex Japan, for example, has provided its expertise in crafting one-off aero-enhancing components.
