“If someone who owns an M3 wants to try out electric performance and gets into a 5 N, they won’t be disappointed,” digital director Aaron Brown says. Coming to that conclusion is precisely why we brought this slate gray, manual-transmission BMW together with an electric orange Hyundai. We know EVs can be quick. There are a million Tesla drag-strip videos to prove that. But the 5 N is the first mainstream EV to position itself as a factory- tuned machine that’s fun to drive.
In a way, it’s a serious car with a serious set of performance targets to hit.There’s a gimmicky side to the 5 N, with enough simulation to make Baudrillard’s head spin. Also toggled from a button on the steering wheel and in the car’s menu screen are simulated shifting and a simulated engine, complete with a strict redline. In the right mode, the car will hit the rev limiter at a simulated 8000 rpm on the digital tachometer.
