Hyundai is set to take driving thrills from the road to the virtual world with the launch of an official Hyundai N Racing Simulator.

Rather than a fully in-house development, Hyundai has teamed up with gaming industry experts for the virtual side of things, but the physical experience has a distinctly Hyundai flavour.

Two grades of Hyundai N simulator will be available, with a Racer version as the entry-level model, or an upgraded Pro version as the range topper.

Regardless of which you opt for, both feature N Light Sport seats from overseas versions of the i30 Sedan N, to give an authentic Hyundai driving feel.

The steering and pedals come from Logitech, with an RS50 System steering wheel featuring the Hyundai N logo in place of the usual Logitech branding. A set of Logitech RS pedals is also included, with full adjustment for the seat position, pedal position, and steering wheel height.

LG provides the displays, with a 65-inch OLED screen on the Racer and an LG UltraFine G OLED Pro display on the Pro version, with a 120-hertz refresh rate, and 4K UHD resolution. The gaming system itself is also different between the two versions, with a Sony PlayStation 5 equipped on the Racer, and a PlayStation 5 Pro on the Pro model.

Using the Gran Turismo 7 game engine, real-world vehicle data is used to provide a true-to-life driving experience.

Hyundai’s recent marketing activity has seen a push towards virtual racing at all levels. In 2025, Hyundai cars were added to KartRider Rush+ and Asphalt Legends Unite, with the aim of creating a new generation of young Hyundai enthusiasts. Later that year, Hyundai became the first automotive brand to have a solo display at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, featuring the Insteroid concept.

The Hyundai N Racing Simulator has been selected as the official sim-racing equipment for the South Korean team at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where sim-racing is an official event alongside traditional events like athletics, swimming, cycling, and more.

Pricing for the Hyundai N Racing Simulator starts from 9 million won (A$8330) for the lower-spec Racer, or 13 million won ($A12,030) for the high-end Pro version in South Korea.
