Two years ago, Hyundai unveiled their “high-performance vision of electrification” in the shape of the sleek N Vision 74 coupe, which we had hoped would eventually become a real car. It looks much more plausible now that Hyundai has mentioned it in their ambition to introduce 21 all-electric cars by 2030. This slide (below) from the business’s 2024 CEO Investor Day presentation lists the Genesis Magma concept and describes the range of cars the company will launch.
The strategy also includes premium EVs from Genesis, high-performance cars, and inexpensive EVs like its Inster / Casper subcompact and the upcoming three-row Ioniq 9 that will be on sale in the US.
The presentation displaying the N Vision 74 was not mentioned explicitly by the executives. PR director Michael Stewart said that the slides and video presentation contain all of the material that is currently accessible in response to a question from The Verge.
The Hyundai Pony Coupe concept from 1974, which had a designer in common with the DMC DeLorean, and the 2015 Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo virtual supercar are the sources of inspiration for the Vision 74, according to the firm.
One of the components connecting Vision 74 to that virtual supercar was a hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system. Since Hyundai’s hybrid intentions were not specifically mentioned in this presentation, the final version of the car may look considerably different from what we’ve seen thus far. Naturally, Hyundai also discussed its plans for extended-range electric cars (EREVs), which rely on a gas engine to recharge the battery pack. According to the company, a variety of powertrain options are available, “including ICE, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.”
Hyundai’s 2024 CEO Investor Day hints that the N Vision 74 coupe may become a reality in their plan to launch 21 all-electric models by 2030. While specifics are unclear, Hyundai remains committed to offering diverse powertrain options, from affordable EVs to high-performance models and hydrogen fuel cells.
