Highlights
- Hyundai is allegedly working on two new sports car models, including a modern interpretation of its iconic Pony Coupe and a brand-new concept called N Vision 74
- The N Vision 74 is rumoured to feature cutting-edge technology, a mid-engine layout, and a hybrid or electric powertrain that could generate around 555 horsepower
- The move towards sports cars aligns with Hyundai's recent focus on electrification and expanding its range across many segments
Hyundai has been on a roll lately in global markets, releasing a series of acclaimed vehicles that showcase its growing design and engineering prowess. However, there is one area that Hyundai has yet to properly explore: high-performance sports cars. While the brand has released performance-focused N variants of some of its existing models it has yet to try its hands at a dedicated high-performance model.
According to reports, Hyundai is allegedly working on bringing an N Vision 74 Concept-based sports car to production. Unlike the concept though the model is likely to feature a more conventional powertrain. The N Vision 74 featured a hydrogen-fuel cell powertrain. The reports also suggest that Hyundai could dig down into its history and badge its new sports car as the Pony - a throwback to the original Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed concept from 1974.
The N Vision 74's design clearly borrowed cues from the original concept with its straight lines and 80s-inspired boxy proportions. The Vision 74 Concept however features a number of sportier design elements such as a prominent rear spoiler, side vents on the rear fenders, prominent side sills and a notable splitter on the front bumper.
Hyundai however has reportedly denied any plans to put a Vision 74-based sports car into production.
