In this adrenaline-fueled episode from Larry Chen, the team finds themselves at Sydney Motorsport Park for the World Time Attack event, where they are granted exclusive access to Hyundai's N brand. And let me tell you, folks, it's an absolute dream come true. Larry himself gets to shoot with none other than K Suchia, a legend in the automotive world who has inspired countless enthusiasts, including Larry himself. But this isn't just any shoot; they are capturing the essence of Hyundai's performance models, including the groundbreaking Ionic 5N, the first all-electric N model.
Now, the Ionic 5N is a game-changer, my friends. It's a crossover, it's a hot hatch, it's a little bit of everything. Hyundai wanted to create a car that not only delivers on the track, but also provides everyday performance and emotional thrills. You see, most electric vehicles lack that emotional connection, that sound, that excitement. But Hyundai, they've managed to infuse the Ionic 5N with all of that and more. And let me tell you, it's a sight to behold.
But it's not just about power and speed with the N brand. It's about driving feel, it's about the experience. Larry reminisces about his early days in the car culture, driving various models like the Korean JDMS, German M's, AMGs, and GTIs. These experiences have shaped the N brand into what it is today. It's about performance on a budget, it's about pushing the limits, and it's about having a damn good time.
And let me tell you, folks, they certainly had a damn good time at Sydney Motorsport Park. Larry and the team had the opportunity to drive each N model, from the nimble I20 N to the powerful I30 N, all the way up to the beastly Ionic 5N. They pushed these cars to their limits, taking corners with precision, feeling the power surge through their veins, and experiencing the pure joy of performance driving. It was a buffet of automotive ecstasy, and Larry couldn't have been happier.
But it's not just about the cars themselves. Hyundai is committed to building an entire ecosystem around the N brand. They are investing in infrastructure for fast chargers, supporting young drivers through their motorsports programs, and making their mark in events like the WRC and WTCR. It's a bold move, but one that shows Hyundai's dedication to car culture and motorsports.
In the end, Larry and the team were left in awe of Hyundai's N brand. They were blown away by the performance, the handling, and the sheer excitement these cars deliver. It's a testament to Hyundai's commitment to pushing boundaries, to creating cars that not only perform on the track but also ignite a passion within their drivers. And let me tell you, folks, it's a passion worth experiencing.
