In 1974, Hyundai showed a concept for a Pony Coupe designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at the height of his powers. That concept never came to be, although much of the original design would later be recycled by Giugiaro in the DeLorean DMC-12. While the Pony would go on to become Hyundai's core hatchback, the coupe was forgotten. That is, until today.

This is the Hyundai N Vision 74, Hyundai's latest rolling lab car for their N brand. Like the RM20e before it, the N Vision 74 is a concept meant to test the viability of sustainable future performance technologies for the N brand. However, while the other "Rolling Midships" the N imprint has used chose to work with existing Hyundai designs, the N Vision 74 is instead built around this revived and modernized take on the Pony Coupe. Combined with aggressive aerodynamic elements, the N Vision 74 looks like the future, the past, and science fiction all at once.
