Hyundai Motor has officially launched its highly anticipated “Hyundai N Racing Simulator,” a state-of-the-art virtual racing platform meticulously engineered to replicate the thrilling driving dynamics of its high-performance N models. This innovative simulator promises an authentic and immersive experience for racing enthusiasts.
Developed through a strategic collaboration with industry leaders LG Electronics, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Logitech, and Next Level Racing, the new simulator lineup is available in two distinct versions: the premium “Pro” model and the standard “Racer” model, catering to various levels of racing simulation enthusiasts.
The top-tier Pro model boasts LG’s cutting-edge OLED evo G-series display paired with a powerful PlayStation 5 Pro console, delivering unparalleled visual fidelity. The Racer version provides an exceptional experience with a crisp 65-inch LG OLED TV and a standard PlayStation 5, ensuring wide accessibility to advanced sim racing.
Designed for ultimate realism, the simulator’s cockpit integrates Next Level Racing’s robust GT Elite Lite frame, proudly featuring Hyundai N branding. Authentic Avante N Light Sports Bucket seats are included to perfectly mimic the feel and ergonomic support of driving an actual N performance vehicle, enhancing the overall virtual racing immersion.
Further elevating the driving feedback, the system incorporates Logitech G’s acclaimed RS50 racing wheel and RS pedals. These peripherals are equipped with groundbreaking Trueforce feedback technology, which directly interfaces with in-game physics and audio engines to provide incredibly realistic and responsive haptic feedback, making every turn and acceleration feel genuine.
Highlighting its competitive prowess, Hyundai proudly announced that the Hyundai N Racing Simulator has been designated as the official sim racing equipment for the prestigious Gran Turismo 7 esports event at the upcoming 2026 Asian Games, a testament to its performance and fidelity.
In a recent demonstration of its capabilities, Korean driver Kim Young-chan successfully secured a coveted spot on the national team for the 2026 Asian Games, triumphing in the rigorous trials held at the Hyundai N Festival Round 1 just last week, utilizing this very simulator.
Looking ahead, Hyundai plans to significantly expand the virtual garage of its racing simulator lineup. Beyond the currently available Ioniq 5 N and Avante N models, the company will introduce additional high-performance vehicles through its ongoing partnership with Gran Turismo 7, promising an ever-evolving racing experience.
Prospective racers and fans can experience these cutting-edge Hyundai N Racing Simulators firsthand at various Hyundai N Festival events and select Hyundai Motor Studio locations, inviting a broader audience to engage with the brand’s performance heritage.
“The Hyundai N Racing Simulator was developed with a clear vision to embody Hyundai N’s distinctive driving philosophy and robust motorsports identity,” stated a Hyundai official. “We are committed to continually expanding Korea’s vibrant motorsports culture through accessible and advanced sim racing platforms, fostering new talent and passion for racing.”
