Are you wondering what will be the next after Electric Vehicle? Will Hydrogen be the fuel of the future? All that questions are rising daily and also the automakers are making innovation in this line steadily. In this line a recent report out of South Korea states that Hyundai Motor Group is beginning development of a new hydrogen fuel cell EV supercar based on its’ N Vision 74 concept from a couple of years ago.
Hyundai teased the N Vision concept in the summer of 2022 at the time of the IONIQ 6 launch event. With this innovative concept Hyundai blends the future of hydrogen fuel cell technology with the retro style of the past.
At the first glimpse of N Vision 74 Concept Hyundai shared some details about the concept :- Hyundai’s engineers developed a hybrid structure of a battery-electric in combination with an FCEV system, which is placed in an all-new layout. By having a fuel cell system and battery-electric powering the N Vision 74 together, the cooling efficiency is improved, while the two different power sources can be used depending on different driving conditions. This fine-tuned logic system enables better torque vectoring by twin motors on the rear, allowing a precise and responsive cornering experience. Moreover, N Vision 74 explores the balance between the performance and cooling with a three-channel cooling system.
The recent report from Korean news outlet KED Global disclosed that Hyundai Motor Group’s suppliers have been performing R&D on potential components in the N Vision 74 since January.
According to KED Global, Hyundai Motor Group’s suppliers have been developing components for the N Vision 74 since January. Also an official from one of these suppliers indicated that the parts manufacturing should be completed by July, ahead of delivery to Hyundai. Hyundai will then use these components to build a developmental version of the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) later this year, followed by prototyping and pilot phases. Although termed “mass-produced,” the production will be limited to 100 units annually starting in June 2026 for two years. Hyundai’s N Vision 74 concept may soon become a reality, with an estimated price tag of $366,000.

Source also stated that the production version of the N Vision 74 is expected to be faster and more powerful than the concept model. It features a larger 70 kWh battery pack and motors delivering over 775 horsepower. And 0-62 mph in just three seconds acceleration is also expected. Teased as the world’s first hydrogen-electric supercar, the Hyundai N Vision 74 promises to be as impressive on the track as it looks
