Lamborghini engineers began testing the Hyundai Ioniq hot hatch

YouTube channel Varryx, known for its spy videos near the headquarters in Santa Agata Bolognese, captured a prototype of the electric car. The hot hatch left the Lamborghini factory gates along with prototypes of future supercars and crossovers, and after some time returned back to base. I can’t believe it’s a coincidence, because Porsche tested a similar Hyundai!

Porsche testers were interested in the “fake” robotic transmission N e-Shift: in Stuttgart they studied the technology of competitors, but considered that the unusual option was contrary to common sense. However, Lamborghini has its own pool of engineers, and their methodology for testing the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N may differ. The debut of the Italian brand’s first electric car is scheduled for 2028, so there is still time.

Supercars from competing companies have been spotted at the Lamborghini factory: for example, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale has been the benchmark for the brand’s hybrids for several years now. However, Hyundai testing an electric car can be considered an unusual occurrence, because the hot hatch plays in a completely different segment. The Lamborghini boss has confirmed that the electric cars from Santa Agata Bolognese will develop at least one megawatt (1,361 horsepower), but power will not be the only advantage.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has been on sale for almost a year and a half, but the Volkswagen concern has problems with electric vehicles. The debuts of Lamborghini and Bentley without internal combustion engines have had to be delayed, and the electric successor to the Porsche 718 will not appear on time due to the bankruptcy of its battery supplier.
