The artificial soundtrack incorporates sounds such as the raucous exhaust screech, the crackling and crackling of the internal combustion engine, as well as the revs that accompanies the driver’s gear changes.
Hyundai also hopes that customers will be able to choose from a number of different character sounds, or even create and name sounds with over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Hyundai executive technical advisor Albert Biermann previously explained that faithfully reproducing the sound of the ICE engine is “very difficult, especially the bangs and bangs you get in the i30 N “.
These man-made exhaust sounds will complement the virtual dual clutch transmission (DCT), named ‘N e-shift’, developed in ‘rolling lab’ Concept car RN22e.
Mr. Biermann previously explained the purpose of the N e-shift feature is “to deliver the same recoil and deceleration vibrations you experience in our ICE N cars”.
Biermann said the ultimate development goal is to “bring the in-car DCT experience of an internal combustion engine car to the same levels of emotion found on the Ioniq 5 N EV”.
