The N Vision 74 coupe was a slick embodiment of Hyundai’s “high-performance vision of electrification” two years ago that we have hoped to see as a real vehicle. That seems way more likely now that it got namechecked in Hyundai’s plan to launch 21 fully electric models by 2030. This slide (below) is from the company’s 2024 CEO Investor Day presentation, explaining the range of vehicles the company will launch and listing the Vision 74 and the Genesis Magma concept.
The plan also includes affordable EVs like its Inster / Casper subcompact, the three-row Ioniq 9 that’s next up to launch in the US, luxury EVs from Genesis, and, finally, high-performance models.

Executives didn’t directly mention the N Vision 74 as the slide was shown. In response to an inquiry from The Verge, PR director Michael Stewart pointed to the slides and video presentation as all of the information available at this time.

For the Vision 74, the company cites inspiration from Hyundai’s 1974 Pony Coupe concept that shared a designer with the DMC DeLorean and a virtual supercar, the Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo from 2015.
The Vision 74’s link to that virtual supercar included a hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system. Still, this announcement wasn’t directly connected to Hyundai’s hybrid plans, so in whatever form the real car arrives, it may be very different than what we’ve seen so far. Of course, in other parts of the presentation, Hyundai talked up plans for extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) that use a gas engine to recharge the battery pack, with the company offering a range of powertrain options “including ICE, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.”
