AI is revolutionizing our development processes, and the shift to electrification is accelerating rapidly.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> He added, &#8220;However, what I emphasize most is driving pleasure. The true test of a well-engineered car is how it feels behind the wheel at dawn.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Harro identified &#8220;fundamentals&#8221; as the cornerstone of Hyundai Motor Group&#8217;s R&amp;D. Since joining in 2024 and his promotion to president, he has been overseeing the driving dynamics of the global lineup. <\/p>\n<p> His tenure has focused on enhancing core performance across product development. As R&amp;D head, he&#8217;s also driving the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) through interdepartmental collaboration.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"iwmads\" data-ad=\"{'id':'EC2A87C8', 'site': 'adbine_www.asiatoday.co.kr_NEWS_IP_640X360_CMTF', 'page':'page'}\"><\/div>\n<p> &#8220;In vehicle dynamics, mastering the basics is crucial,&#8221; Harro explained. &#8220;Everyone, from seasoned engineers to ADAS specialists, must grasp our automotive philosophy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> This philosophy guided the development of the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N. &#8220;Our aim was to elevate performance and dynamics while maintaining everyday comfort,&#8221; Harro noted. <\/p>\n<p> These models feature advanced tech like electronically controlled dampers with stroke sensing and improved chassis dynamics. &#8220;These incremental changes culminate in a new philosophy that boosts track performance,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p> Hyundai leverages both the Namyang Research Institute&#8217;s test track and Germany&#8217;s N\u00fcrburgring for high-performance vehicle development. Harro expressed gratitude for access to these world-class facilities. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;These testing grounds are vital for validating high-performance EVs like the 650-horsepower Ioniq 6 N,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n<p> Harro emphasized, &#8220;Steering feel is paramount to me. It&#8217;s the most direct link between driver and vehicle.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> He continued, &#8220;I&#8217;m fortunate to influence vehicle development from components to final decisions. My constant focus is on how to convey this feel to our customers.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/\/news_body(new) --><!-- ADOPCONE--><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manfred Hara of
