The Hyundai N Vision 74 Concept has a HYDROGEN ENGINE!

During the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2023 I have filmed the Hyundai N Vision 74 Concept car.

One of the coolest concept cars in recent history could be making its way to production. The Hyundai N Vision 74 concept was an instant hit when it was revealed last year as part of the automaker's "N Day" event held in South Korea. A report today by a Korean news outlet claims Hyundai has greenlit the concept for production.

Money Today published the report on its website but didn't cite any specific sources, which obviously leads some (including us) to question the veracity of the information. However, considering the critical acclaim from enthusiasts and media alike that the N Vision 74 received, we're not completely surprised that a mass-production model is on the table. It would almost certainly look a lot like the concept, which featured a wedge-like body that was inspired by the 1974 Hyundai Pony Coupe concept that was penned by famed designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. But the bigger question is what type of powertrain it might use.

The N Vision 74 concept debuted as a "rolling lab" test bed for Hyundai's N performance division to explore future powertrain development. The 670-hp hybrid EV is powered by two rear-mounted electric motors that act as a "virtual differential." Those motors are fed by a 62.4-kWh battery pack, which itself is fed by a hydrogen fuel-cell that acts as an on-board generator for extended range. We were even lucky enough to drive one of the concept cars, where we got to feel its relentless acceleration and impressive agility.

At the end of that drive, we came away not expecting Hyundai to build a production version of the N Vision 74, at least not one that uses the brand's E-GMP architecture that underpins the new Ioniq 6 sedan as well as other electric Kia and Genesis models. We spoke to Albert Biermann about it at the time, and the former Hyundai-Kia R&D boss turned executive technical advisor told Car and Driver, "It is hard for me to see us doing it; at this moment we don't need such a car."

On the other hand, Till Wartenberg—Hyundai's vice president of N brand management and motorsport—more recently made comments to The Autopian expressing his hope to put the retro-styled two-seater into production. Obviously, Wartenberg's words shouldn't be misconstrued as a confirmation.

This car is seriously amazing. Its cyberpunk. Hyundai was the nerd in class, but got older and glowed up like crazzyyy.

N Vision 74 pays an homage to the Hyundai Pony Coupe concept from 1974, which was developed by the legendary car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro

My favorite part of the car (while there are many things that are great about it) are the lights! They nailed it with the perfect mix of retro and modern!

What I love about Hyundai/Kia is how experimental their designs have gotten in recent years. The N vision 74 is their newest masterpiece, hope to see more cool stuff from them!!

Stunning, this is the future I hope for, cool cyberpunk noir, city lights, heavy rain at night, trench coats like blade runner and synth wave playing on the radio
