At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Hyundai RN22e concept, a high-performance electric vehicle (EV) testbed, crashed after missing a turn. The incident occurred during one of the earlier runs on the first day of the event. Luckily, there were no injuries reported from the off-track excursion.

The Hyundai RN22e concept, which features Hyundai’s high-performance EV development, was driven up the hill when the driver failed to take a sharp left turn, crashing into bales of hay. The incident was captured by camera operators, showing the car coming to rest at the bottom of the frame. Fortunately, the occupants of the car, who wore helmets and racing suits, appeared unharmed.

The extent of the damage to the RN22e is not yet known, but there are visible debris on the ground, hinting at some cosmetic damage. Hyundai has been contacted for more information about the condition of the car and its occupants.

The Hyundai RN22e is a high-performance EV concept designed to test Hyundai’s E-GMP platform. It features dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration with 577 horsepower, similar to the Kia EV6 GT. The RN22e aims to explore torque vectoring and new power distribution methods.
