“Driving the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA Spec at Attack Tsukuba 2025 was a privilege,” said Taniguchi. “The car’s braking and handling are exceptional. Despite its power, it stays under control with impressive cornering stability. I felt confident pushing it to the limit.”

In addition to the Ioniq 5 N TA Spec, Taniguchi also piloted five other time attack machines in various categories, including the factory Toyota GR Yaris, HKS Toyota GR86, Assist Kyoto BMW M4, APR Audi TTRS, and Garage G-Force GR Yaris.
