Stunning Hyundai N Vision 74 is a wild 'rolling lab':
from 2015. As its name suggests, the N Vision 74 takes its inspiration from the 1970s, when Hyundai commissioned Giorgetto Giugiaro to create a coupe version of the company's first independently produced car, the Pony hatchback. The result had much of the wedgy form common to his more famous designs from the same era—but probably the closest resemblance to the Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint and the 1970 Porsche Tapiro concept.The Pony Coupe didn't make production.
Sitting on street-spec Pirelli P Zero 4S tires and weighing around two tons, the N Vision struggled a little under braking—the pedal feels wooden, and stopping distances into Bilster Berg's slower turns were a little longer than expected. But in corners it was impressively willing to change direction and found impressive adhesion, especially when it came to traction in tighter turns.
A traditional electric version would be easier to create and still be in keeping with the forward-looking ethos, but the N Vision 74's sleek, low lines wouldn't work with Hyundai's Electric Global Modular Platform, which uses an underfloor battery pack. "Sure, we could make a new battery in a different format," Biermann says. "Anything is possible. But we would need to spend a huge amount to do so.
There will be plenty of interesting, purchasable cars in Hyundai's future, including the forthcoming Ioniq 5 N EV, which promises Porsche Taycan-rivaling performance. Sadly, the N Vision 74 doesn't look set to become one of them.
