FIRST DRIVE: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup – Hot Hatch Gets A Whole Lot Faster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00TnpQu5-Ac

We’re big fans of Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 N hot hatch, because it’s about the most fun you can have in an EV. Fake gears, 10-second bursts of extra power, and a drift mode, all sound like gimmicks, but together they make for one engaging hot hatch. But what if the 5 N was turned up to 11? Enter the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N eN1 Cup race car. It keeps the production 5 N’s battery and motors – so it’s still good for 641bhp. But out goes anything superfluous, and in comes a roll cage, a racing seat, slicks, and a whole lot of aero add-ons. Weight goes down 10%, grip goes way up! All the novel gimmicks – like N Drift Optimiser – are gone, because this is a focused race car. Yet at the same time, Hyundai wants this to be an affordable race car, so prices will start under €100,000. It’s starting a one-make championship in Korea, too, and it’ll be a live test-bed as Hyundai hopes to find a path towards making electric racing fun. Teams will be able to choose the sound their cars make, and taking an idea from gaming, race officials can punish you mid-race with less power for over-aggressive driving. Will it work?

Japan’s Weirdest Car Meet?! We Visit Mad Renault Kangoo Festival

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBdfnyHt52Q

For over a decade, Japan has been hosting the world's largest gathering of Renault Kangoos. Yes, really! And while the inaugural event attracted just a few hundred fans, in this 14th year of the Kangoo Jamboree, there were nearly 2,000 Kangoo models on show and more than 5,000 visitors. One of those was Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford, who joined the thousands at the foot of Mount Fuji to discover why these Japanese owners and enthusiasts are so passionate about a small French van with sliding side doors. Over to Tom, in a very sodden field… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST DRIVE: 671bhp Aston Martin DB12 Volante – World’s Most Beautiful New Car?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iYIm76xQBs

Aston Martin made great claims about the DB12 Coupe being ‘the world’s first Super Tourer’ – but what happens when you lop off the roof? Well, you get the new drop-top DB12 Volante, which better exposes you to the sounds of the 671bhp V8… along with an extensive list of open-top driving cliches. ‘Sensory thrills’ anyone? But where does it land as a driving experience, when it inevitably won’t be as sharp as the D12 Coupe? And does that even matter when the DB12 Volante looks this good? Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, experienced it in the best of British weather to find out… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: New Milano SUV is Alfa Romeo’s First EV!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcrVf787ENc

Alfa Romeo has always offered petrolheads a little something extra, be it through rorty engines, seductive styling or love-it/hate-it idiosyncrasies. But the new Milano – a small-sized SUV – is electric, and shares much with stablemates from the sprawling Stellantis group. So, will any of Alfa’s romanticised Italian traits shine through on an EV crossover deeply related to the Jeep Avenger and Peugeot e-2008? Top Gear Magazine’s Jason Barlow has been to Milan (Milano, geddit?) to find out… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
