Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 11th that it is launching the 'Hyundai N Racing Simulator,' which brings the driving experience of its high-performance N brand into a virtual environment. Developed in collaboration with global partners including LG Electronics, Sony, Logitech, and Next Level Racing, the product is based on the PlayStation racing game 'Gran Turismo 7.'

The product comes in two versions: 'Pro' and 'Racer.' The Pro model is a high-performance configuration featuring an LG UltraFine OLED Pro display panel and a PS5 Pro, while the Racer model is a standard configuration equipped with a 65-inch LG OLED TV and a PS5.

The steering wheel is the 'Logitech G RS50 SYSTEM.' It utilizes a direct-drive system with up to 8 N·m of torque and incorporates Logitech's 'TRUEFORCE' feedback technology to deliver road conditions and vehicle vibrations directly to the driver's fingertips. The 'RS Pedals' provide precise braking feel. The cockpit is based on the Next Level Racing GT Elite Lite with a custom Hyundai N design, and the seat is the same bucket seat found in the Avante N Light Sports, providing an environment similar to sitting in the actual vehicle.

The simulator was used as the official equipment for the national team qualifiers for 'Gran Turismo 7,' which has been selected as an official e-sports event for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. At the qualifiers held during the first round of the Hyundai N Festival on the 8th, Kim Young-chan took first place and secured a spot in the Asian Games finals this September.

The 'IONIQ 5 N' and 'Avante N' are also featured in the game, and Hyundai stated that it plans to continuously introduce various vehicle models through its collaboration with 'Gran Turismo 7.'

Meanwhile, Hyundai plans to begin priority sales of a limited quantity through its paid N membership service, 'The Nthusiast.' Specific pricing and the general sales schedule have not yet been disclosed.
