Hyundai unveils N racing simulator with LG, Sony

Hyundai Motor announced Monday the launch of the “Hyundai N Racing Simulator,” a virtual racing platform designed to recreate the driving experience of its high-performance N models.

Developed in collaboration with LG Electronics, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Logitech and Next Level Racing, the simulator lineup comes in two versions, the high-end “Pro” and the standard “Racer.”

The Pro model features LG’s premium OLED evo G-series display and a PlayStation 5 Pro console, while the Racer version is equipped with a 65-inch LG OLED TV and a standard PlayStation 5.

The cockpit combines Next Level Racing’s GT Elite Lite frame with Hyundai N branding and Avante N Light Sports Bucket seats to replicate the feel of driving an actual N performance vehicle.

The setup also includes Logitech G’s “RS50 System Racing Wheel,” a high-end steering system featuring the company’s Trueforce feedback technology, designed to replicate the handling feel of an actual race car.

Hyundai said the simulator has been selected as the official sim racing equipment for the Gran Turismo 7 esports event at the 2026 Asian Games.

Korean driver Kim Young-chan secured a place on the national team for the Games after winning the trials at the Hyundai N Festival Round 1 last week.

Beyond the existing Ioniq 5 N and Avante N models, Hyundai plans to expand the simulator lineup with additional vehicles through its partnership with Gran Turismo 7.

The company said the racing simulators would be showcased at Hyundai N Festival events and Hyundai Motor Studio locations.

“The Hyundai N Racing Simulator was developed to embody Hyundai N’s driving philosophy and motorsports identity,” a Hyundai official said. “We will continue expanding Korea’s motorsports culture through sim racing platforms.”
