Hyundai has partnered with renowned racing icon Keiichi Tsuchiya, also known as the Drift King, to develop a special limited-edition Ioniq 5 N.

The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N DK Edition has been unveiled at the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon. It manages to make the already rather menacing 641bhp hyper-hatch look even angrier, but also makes enhancements to its exceptional chassis.

The Ioniq 5 N DK Edition was designed in partnership with the renowned racing legend Keiichi Tsuchiya, famously known as the ‘Drift King’, which is reflected in the car's name.

The most serious upgrade Tsuchiya made to our reigning Performance Car of the Year is a new monoblock brake system, which includes six-piston calipers precision-machined from Duralumin – an aluminum alloy often used in aircraft manufacturing because of its strength and lightness.

The upgraded calipers made it possible to use new high-performance brake pads that are 54 percent larger than the original ones. As the Drift King himself states, this enhancement leads to “consistent braking performance, even under the toughest conditions.”

The Ioniq 5 N DK Edition also gets a set of lowering springs from German outfit H&R, which bring the car 15mm closer to the Tarmac, lower the centre of gravity further, and are stiffer than the standard coils to improve
