I recently attended the 2023 Concordo d'Eleganza in Villa d'Este, with dozens of beautiful and ultra-rare supercars, and this is definitely one of them! The Hyundai N Vision 74 is a concept car developed by Hyundai. The sporty car was unveiled at N Day 2022, an event organized by the Hyundai N performance division in mid-July 2022 at Busan, South Korea, alongside the Hyundai RN22e concept based on the Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric vehicle. The N Vision 74 is a rear-wheel-drive coupe driven by two electric traction motors, both on the rear axle; power is provided by both a storage battery and a hydrogen fuel cell. The styling for the N Vision 74 is inspired by the Hyundai Pony Coupe Concept (1974), while the underlying technologies were inspired by the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo (2015). The drivetrain was co-developed with Rimac Automobili and first shown in 2021 fitted to the Kia Stinger-derived Vision FK concept. Albert Biermann confirmed the roadgoing N Vision 74 prototype was derived from “a [Kia] Stinger [...] The whole idea started with a different brand. It wasn't a [Hyundai] N thing at all, it was for the [Genesis] luxury brand. But then we said this is a lot of complicated stuff so we have to build a mecha-proto – that's what we call a prototype built on an existing car – and then apply the new systems. We realised the Stinger was the closest in terms of size.“ Although the 1974 Pony Coupe Concept designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro was a static model when exhibited at the Turin Motor Show, sketches and blueprints were prepared for a production version that never came to fruition, as there was no suitable engine nor was there a business case to bring it to market. In addition to the production Hyundai Pony, Italdesign and Giugiaro were responsible for designing similar wedge-shaped sports cars at around the same time, including the BMW M1 and Lotus Esprit. Some of the initial sketches of the N Vision 74 by Hyundai chief of design SangYup Lee were dated to 2016. N Day 2022 was intended to demonstrate Hyundai N's focus on performance, even as Hyundai incorporates more electric vehicles into its lineup. Unlike the typical concept car, which are static styling exercises, the N Vision 74 is what Hyundai call a road-capable “Rolling Lab“. A follow-up N Day event was held in September 2022 for the automotive press, which had the opportunity drive the prototype on the Bilster Berg track in Germany. The N Vision 74 is equipped with dual electric traction motors (both fitted to the rear axle) with a combined output of 670 hp (500 kW) and 664 lb⋅ft (900 N⋅m) of torque, drawing from a 62.4 kW-hr battery pack and hydrogen tanks storing 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) for an on-board fuel cell. Peak fuel cell output is 85 kW (114 hp). Driving each rear wheel with its own traction motor allows torque vectoring. Hyundai engineers are considering adding a third electric traction motor to the front axle. To turn Lee's designs into a roadgoing prototype, Hyundai used components from existing vehicles; for example, the fuel cell and hydrogen storage system were taken from the Hyundai Nexo, the electrical system and traction motors are similar to E-GMP vehicles such as the Ioniq 5 and 6, and portions of the body structure were derived from the Genesis G70. As driven by Motor Trend at a press event in September 2022, the car was fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires, 270/35R20 front and 315/30R21 rear. Hyundai claims the car can accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in four seconds and has a range (including use of the fuel cell as a range-extending auxiliary power unit) of more than 372 mi (599 km) under the WLTP cycle. Top speed is more than 250 km/h (160 mph). The styling of the N Vision 74 has been praised as blending inspiration from the Lancia 037 and DMC DeLorean with the “Parametric Pixel“ design language from the Ioniq family. Additional commentators have likened the concept vehicle to sports coupes from the 1970s and 1980s, including the Audi Quattro, BMW M1, Mitsubishi Starion, Nissan Silvia, Toyota AE86, Toyota Supra, and Volkswagen Scirocco, all members of what Jonny Lieberman said was “the zeitgeist of today's car enthusiast“. Because the car's components are largely derived from production vehicles, the cost of developing a production N Vision 74 could be lowered; Hyundai sources note the N Vision 74 shares the same wheelbase as the Genesis X Speedium Coupe concept and stated they are developing a third concept coupe.
