Interestingly, the NPX1 is also reminiscent of another vehicle from Hyundai that was recently presented at the N Festival in South Korea: the eN1 Cup car. Although the NPX1 is not the same vehicle, both concepts share the body kit and philosophy of bringing track technology to the road. The eN1 Cup was lightweight, weighing 551 kg less than the “normal” Ioniq 5 N, and featured an adjustable set-up and the N Performance Parts kit. At the NPX1 The developers placed particular emphasis on driving performance and handling. The car is included lighter rims, High performance brake pads and Lowering springs equipped.
