Hyundai has collaborated with drifter Keiichi Tsuchiya for a special edition of the Ioniq 5 N. The Ioniq 5 N DK Edition benefits from chassis upgrades and a more aggressive aero kit. The “high-performance parts package” will become available in the first half of 2025.

The 'Drift King' Edition, developed with help from drifting legend Keiichi Tsuchiya, gets a host of useful upgrades.

So, it sort of makes sense to see Hyundai want to team up with him for the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon, which kicks off tomorrow. The South Korean giant plans on presenting a DK Edition of its popular IONIQ 5 N performance electric vehicle (EV), but it's still unclear if we'll actually see that model in production form.

But nothing’s perfect, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N could be better. Here’s how.

Hyundai rolled out its newest EV, the 2026 Ioniq 9, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November and the reception for this this tech focused, lounge-inspired SUV was stellar.

The Ioniq 5 N has already proven itself to be one of the most capable EVs on the market, and the new DK Edition takes things up a notch further

DK as in "Drift King," Keiichi Tsuchiya partnered with Hyundai to bring to life an even cooler and more aggressive version of the brand's fastest car.

In those brief clips, a huge rear wing can be seen on the back of what the brand is calling the Ioniq 5 N DK Edition. Based on what we know so far, it's unclear if this DK Edition will be a one-off built for the show,
