The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is BACK, and this time it’s taking on the almighty AMG GT!

So how do the two compare? Well starting with the Hyundai, it’s powered by two electric motors which combine to produce an incredible 650hp and 740Nm of torque. Given the two motors it comes with four-wheel drive, but the large battery adds to the weight, meaning it tips the scales at 2,235kg! However, all that power comes relatively cheap, with the IONIQ 5 N starting from £65,000.

Then we come to the AMG. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 585hp and 800Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it comes in a bit lighter than the IONIQ, weighing in at 2,130kg. However, it is SO much more expensive than the Hyundai, costing around £165,000!

So what do you think - can a Hyundai take on this AMG heavyweight? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    That's crazy to see an electric car reeling back in a combustion car after losing the launch lol
  • @Anuhassss
    Never thought a bloody 60k Hyundai would smoke a 150k Mercedes amg 💀
  • What a time to be alive ,suv ferrari , a bugatti without turbos and a hyundai thats literally a super car killer 👏
  • The whole amg team can flush themself in the toilet… they also ruined the c and glc classes
  • @bZgtHeSTD
    if mercedes-AMG's own flagship coupe lost to a fucking hyundai then they might as well go out of business
  • @ekeluo
    The 2.2 ton Hyundai SUV is beating a 2.2 ton AMG sports (super?) car. What times we live in.
  • Even "IF" the Ionic5N lost... it is a 5 seater SUV with loads of space, so you can take your family with you on weekends. But it won.
