Hyundai N Vision 74 to be the brand’s Halo car
The N Vision 74’s looks are a homage to the 1974 Hyundai Pony Coupe designed by Italdesign’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, and it will be the company’s halo model similar to the Lexus LFA.
The car debuted as a concept in mid-2022. It is powered by two rear-mounted electric motors that together make just over 679hp. These motors are fed by a 62.4kWh battery that can be charged on the go by a 95kW hydrogen fuel cell. The large battery can be rapidly charged like in any BEV, and the 4.2kg hydrogen tank can be refilled in just five minutes, yielding a total range of over 595km.
Reports suggest that the N Vision 74 will have a limited production run of around 200 units globally, with each unit priced over $300,000. The N Vision 74 will be one of the offerings in Hyundai’s future electric line-up, which will comprise mass market, mid-level, luxury and performance EVs. The automaker plans to introduce as many as 21 EVs globally by 2030.
