On Friday, at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Hyundai attempted to make a smoky splash in the Japanese market by unveiling a special souped-up edition of its Ioniq 5 N, our Performance EV of the Year winner, called the Ioniq 5 N DK.

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.

The fun we had behind the wheel and the idea of an approachable EV track car (at $67,685) put the Ioniq 5 N over the top as our winner. Halvorson summed it up: “The Ioniq 5 N truly opens the idea of a fully electric track day to a new generation and a much wider go-fast crowd."

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

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

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.
