Is it a DeLorean? Is it a retro revival of the Pony? No - it's a hydrogen hypercar from Hyundai!

From the brand that brought you the Getz and the Grandeur comes this, the Hyundai N Vision 74 performance hydrogen fuel-cell sports coupe - a concept car with more than 500kW and 900Nm, according to the company.

The N Vision 74 “rolling lab” draws its name from the launch back in 1974 of the wedge-shaped Pony Coupe Concept, penned by when Giorgetto Giugiaro. And in 2022, the brand has revived that concept with a new way of thinking about performance.

Note the way the shape of the car mimics the original concept coupe, right down to the bold, thick B-pillar design, yet manages to look extreme with those Group B Rally-inspired aero wheels, a monster body kit, huge rear wing, and Hyundai's trademark pixelated lighting signature.

As such, the N Vision 74 coupe employs a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain, with a 4.2kg hydrogen tank, a 95kW (max) fuel-cell stack, and the brand’s 800-volt fast charge capability with a 62.4kWh battery pack.

All that equates to a total power output of more than 500kW and 900Nm sent to the rear wheels via twin electric motors, with a claimed top speed of 250km/h, and a driving range of more than 600km, says Hyundai.

Pull up to a hydrogen pump and you’ll be able to refill this 4952mm long, 1995mm wide and 1331mm tall two-door coupe in just five minutes, Hyundai says.

It’s all a bit pie in the sky, with a production version of this car unlikely to make it to a Hyundai showroom anytime soon. 

“N Vision 74’s future-oriented design reflects the respect and appreciation we have for the dedication and passion that went into the Pony Coupe concept,” said SangYup Lee, executive vice president and head of Hyundai Design Center.
