After almost two years of keeping the public guessing, Hyundai has seemingly confirmed its wild N Vision 74 concept will enter production – even if we don’t yet know when.
In an investor presentation, Hyundai detailed plans to launch 21 new electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030, which included those from its Genesis luxury off-shoot and its N performance sub-brand.
This included the mention of the N Vision 74, which has been powered by hydrogen in prototype form but could adopt battery-electric power when it does eventually become available, given it was labelled as a ‘high-performance EV’ in the presentation.

The N Vision 74 was revealed in 2022 as a futuristic take on Hyundai’s Pony coupe concept car from the 1974 Turin motor show, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
Hyundai’s prototype not only runs on hydrogen – which is converted into electricity in a fuel cell which charges a small battery powering electric motors – but has been driven by automotive media members including CarExpert.
Conflicting reports emerged from South Korea in the following months about whether Hyundai would put the car into production, with the most recent claims coming from newspaper Hankyung in May, which said it’d go on sale in mid-2026.
The report also claimed Hyundai would build 200 examples for two years from 2026, commanding a premium price of approximately 500 million won each – equivalent to about $550,000.
Hyundai has trademarked the N74 name, suggesting it’ll drop the concept-based Vision title for production.
While the N Vision 74 produced up to 500kW of power and 900Nm of torque, an electric production version could likely ride on Hyundai’s E-GMP EV underpinnings.
In the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, this platform supports up to 478kW and 778Nm, with these figures expected to receive a bump should the N Vision 74 go electric.
