Hyundai is transforming its N Vision 74 supercar from a futuristic concept into a real production car and it's got everyone excited

Hyundai is finally putting the N Vision 74 supercar into production.

What’s truly amazing is that they did it by popular demand, which is nice to hear because it means automakers are still actually listening to their fans and customers.

First unveiled as a sci-fi, Blade Runner-inspired concept around four years ago, the N Vision 74 is a retro-futuristic coupe powered by hydrogen.

There’s only one key question we need to ask.

The Hyundai N Vision 74 is like the DeLorean of the 2020s

First unveiled in 2022, the N Vision 74 kind of looks like a DeLorean, or maybe the odd coupe driven by Ryan Gosling as K in Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to the original 1982 movie starring Harrison Ford.

Visually, this concept looks halfway between a coupe and a pony car, which is unsurprising considering this is actually a tribute to the original Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed muscle car from the 1970s.

This being a modern car, it has larger wheels, larger brakes and some of the angles are a tiny bit smoother.

The concept car was designed with a powertrain that uses both hydrogen fuel cells and batteries connected to two electric motors for a combined power output of 671 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, giving it a top speed of 155 mph.

The range is 373 miles, and because it’s powered by hydrogen, filling up the ‘tank’ should take only a few minutes.

Initially, Hyundai executives said this car was simply a testbed for future strategic developments, which is corporate speak for ‘we aren’t going to make this’.

But when it was unveiled, the reaction was so positive and passionate that the Korean automaker changed its mind.

But there’s a question we need to ask.

Will it really look like this?

The main problem with cool, retro-futuristic concept cars is that the production model almost always looks a lot more normal and banal.

Sometimes it’s inevitable, mainly because concept cars often feature details that are impossible to carry over to a production model for practical or legal reasons, and often both.

When we look at the N Vision 74, it all looks relatively doable on the outside, and the same goes for the interior, with the exception of the steering wheel, which will have to be replaced because it doesn’t feature an airbag.

For now, all we know is that we’re getting a production model, but we don’t know whether it will look like this, or completely different.

The other piece of information we’re still waiting for is the price.

Cars are getting expensive, and even brands that we don’t necessarily associate with luxury vehicles with hefty MSRPs aren’t shy about upping their prices.
