Hyundai N Cars To Receive Lighter and Stronger Carbon Fiber Hybrid Wheels

To tackle the weight issue of the Ioniq 5 N, Hyundai is collaborating with wheel specialist Dymag and composites material experts at Hankuk Carbon to develop substantially lighter wheels for their high-performance electric crossover. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a prototype for a 21-inch lightweight wheel was unveiled.

These wheels, designed and engineered by Hyundai, feature a hybrid construction that combines a carbon fiber outer rim with a forged metallic centerpiece. This innovative design allows the engineers to reduce the weight by approximately 40 to 50 percent compared to a regular alloy wheel of the same size. Besides being lighter, the carbon fiber wheels are also stiffer and more durable, while reducing rolling inertia.
