In a blog on 18 February, Hyundai said the vehicle achieved the fastest lap time by an EV at the motorsport event held in Japan on February 15.
A significant feat
The racing event took place at the legendary Tsukuba Circuit in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, where the track is known for its compact and challenging layout.
This gave the IONIQ 5 N the perfect opportunity to showcase capabilities. Hyundai N entered the event with the IONIQ 5 N TA (Time Attack) Spec, driven by renowned Japanese professional driver, Nobuteru Taniguchi who commenting on the vehicle said:

“I’m honored to have had the opportunity to drive the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N TA Spec at Attack Tsukuba 2025, which enabled me to significantly break my previous EV record. The IONIQ 5 N TA Spec stops well and handles excellently. Despite the power, the control is outstanding, with great cornering and smooth, stable corner-exit. I could push the car to the limit with real confidence.”
The IONIQ 5 N TA Spec is a motorsport variant of the award-winning IONIQ 5 N, and has won other races before.
It came first at the 2024 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) in the modified production electric SUV category, setting a new record in the process.
With a lap time of 57.446 seconds, the IONIQ 5 N TA Spec is the fastest EV ever to lap the Tsukuba Circuit, almost two seconds faster than the nearest EV competitor.
Hyundai’s EV role
Hyundai has gone into EV production on a massive scale. Last year, it unveiled INITIUM, its first hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle concept.
With its EV setting records in motorsports, the company may be getting set to take the car racing industry by storm as well in the near future.
