Recent reports from South Korea suggest that the long-awaited Hyundai N74 hydrogen supercar is nearing its debut. Based on the striking N Vision 74 concept vehicle, it features an innovative hydrogen fuel cell powertrain expected to redefine the supercar segment.
Supplier involvement has been confirmed, indicating smooth progress in the development process, with components for test vehicles anticipated to be completed within the coming months. The N Vision 74 concept, first unveiled in 2022, draws inspiration from Hyundai’s 1974 classic Pony Coupe, blending retro design with futuristic technology.
The concept model demonstrated a hydrogen fuel cell system capable of delivering 500 kW and 900 Nm to the rear wheels, distinguishing it from the all-wheel-drive electric supercars currently dominating the market. If the production version stays true to this vision, it will represent a remarkable achievement in merging classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
Hyundai is set to increase power output beyond the original 500 kW, signaling plans to push test vehicles to their performance limits. These prototypes are essential for fine-tuning dynamics and ensuring they meet the high standards set by the concept.
The N74 is expected to feature rear-wheel drive—a bold move at a time when all-wheel drive is becoming the standard for high-performance electric vehicles. Its exclusivity will be underscored by a limited production run of just 200 units, with a starting price of approximately 500 million KRW (over 2.5 million RMB), positioning it as a premium offering.
