Hyundai recently brought an upgraded Ioniq hybrid to the famed Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where it set a brand-new land speed record. It reached a top speed of 157.825 mph on the Salt Flats and an exit speed of 160.7 mph, which cemented its victory.
“We couldn’t be more proud in setting the FIA hybrid-category record with our new Ioniq hybrid,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Our engineering team really pushed the limits to set this new segment benchmark while demonstrating the impressive durability of the entire Ioniq vehicle platform. We expect this will be the first of many accolades for Ioniq.”
