Hyundai's N Vision 74 Proves Hydrogen Sports Cars Aren't Dead: They're Just Getting Started - Yanko Design
Briefly

Hyundai's N Vision 74 combines compressed hydrogen fuel-cell technology with dual electric motors producing 775 horsepower. The vehicle channels the wedge-shaped aesthetics of the 1974 Pony Coupe through sharp angles, clean surfaces and a retro-futurist wedge profile. Parametric pixel lighting and programmable LED arrays create a new visual language. Hyundai positions hydrogen as a matured alternative capable of delivering high-performance thrills without the compromises of conventional gasoline or battery-electric extremes. The design team filtered classic elements through five decades of engineering evolution to create what Hyundai calls "timeless design" that elevates the Pony into an enduring performance icon.
Imagine track day with yet another silent Tesla Plaid whooshing past the grandstand. The performance is undeniable, but something feels missing. The drama. The theater. The raw emotional connection that makes your pulse quicken before you even see the car coming. Designer: Hyundai Now imagine hearing something different cutting through that electric silence. Not the roar of a V8, but the subtle whistle of compressed hydrogen feeding a fuel cell.
This powers dual electric motors that scream with 775 horsepower of fury. That's exactly what Hyundai promises with their upcoming N Vision 74. Frankly, it couldn't come at a better time. While the automotive world has been locked in this binary thinking (gasoline bad, batteries good), the Korean automaker has been quietly developing something different. Something that could rewrite the entire performance car playbook. The wedge-shaped homage to their 1974 Pony Coupe represents more than nostalgic design.
