The Hyundai Ioniq hybrid has broken the land-speed record for a production-based hybrid by reaching 157.825 mph.
The Ioniq hit a 157.825-mph blast across Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. Its peak exit speed was 160.7 mph, but the record requires two runs, with the final number coming from an average of those two figures.
This unique car was the product of Hyundai Motor America’s engineering and quality group, which led the concept development for this grassroots motorsports effort.
