FIRST DRIVE: Hyundai N Vision 74 & RN22e | 670bhp Hydrogen Hybrid Drift Car And Electric Streamliner
Korea is living its best car life right now: Hyundai and Kia are cranking out daring designs and fun-to-drive cars that ought to have the European old guard sweating. But what does the future hold for Hyundai’s souped-up N Division? The hydrogen fuel cell N Vision 74 and dual-motor electric RN22e concepts provide some clues - and they’re not just for display. Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew headed to the spectacular Bilster Berg circuit in Germany to lap them both - and see if Korea’s ideas for saving sports cars are ones we should be excited about...

Man, if you told me that my dream car would be a Hyundai 5 years ago I would have laughed, but here we are
ya same here, l can't believe it
keep coding
Same
Even koreans cant believe it
Right?!! 😂
We seriously need more retro futuristic designs on roads.
💯
Hyundai seems to be taking a step in the right direction.
I need this and a cybertruck in my driveway
Some call it futuristic, some call it “70s Porsche”
Absolutely! This and the Ferrari Daytona SP3 both look incredible.
People on comment section are saying 'design looks inspired by DeLorean' but what's funny is, as a matter of fact, it was DeLorean that was inspired by the original Pony Coupe concept car, the car that N Vision 74 is based on. Pony Coupe was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, and it was revealed to the public in Torino motor show in 19'74'. 74 that gave a name to this car. However, at that time, Hyundai didn't see commercial possibility of Pony Coupe, so it remained to be a concept car, nothing more. In that same motor show, was the founder of DeLorean, John DeLorean. He saw this concept car and called the Giugiaro. He literally told him to design another sports car that looks like Pony Coupe. That's how the DeLorean was born. So yes, this N Vision 74 is based on the original of the original. Interesting facts.
To me it looks more like a modern Nissan 180sx type X without the pop up headlight this car should've been Nissan
@@abcwarrior91This car should have been a Nissan? That's a disgrace to Hyundai😂
@@abcwarrior91 중국인이네ㅋ
those both were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro
What's funny about the N Vision 74 is that it actually looks like a car from the future unlike most new cars
Or more like cyber punk. Not future.
@@dongleseon8785 cyberpunk is literally just based on futurism, poverty and capitalism and the whole future idea is kinda the main thing
Most new cars are designed for the present day you muppet.
@@voidinheritant yup lowlife and high tech world. Sounds like the future to me.
@@voidinheritant thats the world rn
The vision 74 is perfection, it is completely different to anything on the market, it is dropdead gorgeous and the combination of ev and fuel cell just perfect. I really hope Hyundai builds this and it doesn't stay just a concept. Slow clap to Hyundai, well done, now please sell it
It's rare that I feel emotional about an EV but that car is something special. I really hope they sell it too. I'd love to see one in real life. ❤
If we could just get the hydrogen fueling station infrastructure sorted this and other hydrogen cars would be way better EV option.
I wholeheartedly agree. As a gearhead, an EV I would actually buy. This is timeless. This is history.
Yeah, it looks like a masterpiece. Collectable for sure
@@Squidgy55 Its at Caffeine and Machine currently if you want to see it
Those “pixelated” headlights and taillights is nice touch to the whole retro futuristic theme, absolutely love it!
cyberpunked af
@@samithasheshan8215 A proper cyberpunked sports car.
100% could not agree more!
retro futuristic? you mean like big shrimp? bitter sweet?
@@samithasheshan8215 Cassette Futurism/Punk even
I can't get over how freaking cool this car looks. Futuristic twist on a classic 70s sports car. Very Cyberpunk esque.
This looks futuristic and retro at the same time. Love it.
Hyundai's design chief Lee said himself that he is trying hard to bring N Vision 74 into production line so that's a great news for us!!
I'm ready to purchase IMMEDIATELY if it's made for production
Problem is that it's an hydrogen hybrid car... It won't sell as much as it would if it was a fuel hybrid or full electric.
@@iKSmurf its not targeted towards your normal average person, this car is meant for car lovers, and its gonna be desirable by them because of its looks. Ofc people will do swaps because how cool it loojs
@@sungwoothao1242 You're right
@@iKSmurf it's a car for the future, not the past.
I absolutely love the look of this car. Not so much the noise obviously but that neo retro styling just looks stunning.
If they make these best believe someone's going to put a v8 in it
i would have 0 problems for them to use sound engineering to make the drive more emotional
Agreed and I'm also getting some Ur Quattro vibes from it in the looks dept.
@@RENO_K i would. And theres no gears or vibration either.
@@RENO_K there's no soul to it, what's the point. Making it sound louder is no better than putting a straight pipe on a modern base model civic.
I'm Korean, but I didn't know hyundai would develop so rapidly. This is every man's dream. Please mass-produce a design that is as similar to this as possible...🥺🙏🏻
Genuinely one of the best looking cars ever made
Add me to the “never once thought about buying a Hyundai, but will buy this off aesthetic alone” group. Please put this into production and don’t change a thing, looks wise. Thank you
Hyundai have been making concept cars for the last few years, that become actual cars with next to no changes. Only addition needed is a numberplate and a few small things to make it road legal.
*fingers crossed*
So long as the front end meets pedestrian impact, and headlight standards, then it probably could be production ready. What I'm not sure about is the Fuel Cell system. I don't see that making it to production and it would be battery EV only.
Bought a Tucson this year over German equivalent. Growing up I was in the same boat as you, but they are building ridiculously good cars. I love our Tucson and I’m thinking of getting shot of my Fiesta ST for either an I20 or I30N
Haha, yep back in when I was in school if your parents drove a Hyundai or Kia you asked them to drop you off and pick you up two blocks away so you don't get laughed at for the next month. they have have come a long way since then!
Please make this happen.. modern car culture needs this fresh breathe of inspiration
Doubt it will happen, homologation laws ruins everything. Meaning concepts are sick but reality theyre fk'd up.
problem is unique cars are ALWAYS expensive, it is a nice dream though, going back to the good old days when cars had personality instead of just different headlights.
@@thomaslabrum8182 sure, but the technology used can trickle down through the other car lines. such as with the Lexus LFA
It literally looks like something you'd see in ghost in the shell or some sci-fi movie.. u can't believe we live in a timeline where this being mass produced is a possibility
@@HesmiyuMC technology will only trickle down if it is adopted by the masses and turns a profit, it also needs to be low cost so the masses can afford it. I was referring to just the body design, make a cheap car look similar and they couldn’t make them fast enough.
Even after 100 years from now this car will look fresh and futuristic, the design is timeless
It's hard to get excited about cars that may never be built. That N74 is tears of joy beautiful.
Really love the concept. It looks like what people from the '80s imagined what the cars of the future would look like.
That's because it a copy of a starion from the 80s
As most concepts do.
@@evognayr Except it is clearly based on Giorgetto Giugiaro designs. Most fitting examples of those would be. 1974 Hyundai Pony and 1981 DMC Delorean.
@@evognayr 1974 pony
Because it looks like delorean from Back to the Future!?
When I saw Hyundai Ioniq 5 I was like "Wow, that's so cool" and then I saw the Ioniq 6 and I was going "OMG! It's absolutely gorgeous!" and then the N Vision 74 came along and imploded my brain. I don't think I can be more impressed.
Ionic 5 is severely underpowered
@@Its_Me_Romano it’s not a sports anything but design wise it looks awesome
@@Its_Me_Romano That's why an Ioniq 5N is being released soon.
@@Its_Me_Romano "hurr durrr 1000 hp = good" 🤡
Honestly the Ionic 6 looks even worse than the mercedes EQS, wtf is that ugly looking thing x_x... the vision 74 is the best looking one of that bunch
Hyindai if you see this. The people need the Vision 74!! Its magnificent
If this car is put into production, I will absolutely buy one. I've only been buying 80s and 90s cars because that's what I like............. this vehicle takes the best influences from those decades and brings them into the future in the best way imaginable.
I’ve never seen a car so futuristic, yet so old school. I absolutely love it.
Looks like a concept car from the 1980’s or something out of Cyberpunk 2077. Love it!
@@Psykel Hyundai Pony Coupe 1974
Retrowave is calling us.. lol
@@Psykel have you seen 'in time' starring Justin Timberlake
It's the back to the future delorean reimagined
I wish more modern cars would go with this more retro look, it’s so gorgeous
why stop at retro? companies should bring back the vintage car styles (e.g. Duesenberg model J, Bugatti type 57 Atlantic)
we do see this trend with the new nissan z for example
I blame the 2000 beetle and pt cruiser for this, pepople hate on those cars when they literally brang back the old car trends
@@zydomason another beautiful car
well they're electric now so any hope of doing that is going to go down the drain since her absolutely chasing even more efficiency. Kind of sad actually
Fun Fact: German Designer Peter Schreyer, who previously worked at Audi and designed the Audi TT, went to korea in like 2006 to work for KIA and Hyundai and massively influenced their design language.
And pretty much turned them into legitimately good looking vehicles.
피터 슈라이어 디자이너가 kia 자동차의 패밀리룩을 만들었고 k5 1세대가 출시 되었을때 한국에서는 엄청난 센세이션 이었음
They nailed this styling. It's like a 90s JDM vibe but also looks modern
I really hope the future of the sports car looks like this. Just amazing. Hyundai has been killing it across the board in large scale manufacturing good job to the team at large.
It's an interesting aesthetic: the 'futuristic' look. It was very popular in the 80's; think Star Wars and Delorean DMC-12's. Manufacturers are always trying to stay ahead of the curb and believe that their product represents the future, but a futuristic aesthetic blatantly attempts to be ahead of it's own time. In retrospect, futuristic fashions often look ridiculous because what people imagine about the future is always based in the present. Over the past decade the only cars that I like enough enough to buy brand new at full MSRP are the Toyota 86, Nissan Z, and this.
their cars are still shit. theyre manufactured as cheap as possible. their motors do not last as well as their trannies. but this istn just hyundai, its across the board on all mass manufacturers, esp with a cvt auto.
That 74 is insane! I feel like the typical big companies will all be focused on economical passengers and emissions, yet hyandai is focusing on "drivers cars." Love what they're doing and they actually seem like they're listening to car enthusiasts.
Enthusiasts buy good cars, not junk like Hyundai. That's straight trash.
Even better, they can do it all, the i10 is the perfect affordable small car that we need in this era with massive ugly and polluting suvs, and the i20n is the perfect accesible hothatch. Now they are conquering the ev market and even better they make it fun
Companies keep forgetting that innovation and progression happens within their internal race divisions, and that those gains in handling and control trickle down into viable safety features for the consumer models.
Remember, a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (HFCV), is just an EV that stores its energy in a tank full of hydrogen instead of a large battery. However, in order for an HFCV like this to have such performance specs it will need a large battery (although not as large as those in a fully electric vehicle), to act as buffer for the fuel cell. This is because a typical fuel cell sized to fit in an automobile normally cannot produce the amperage necessary for continuous high performance. The output of the fuel cell needs to be buffered and to have this buffer filled (fully charged), before you can smash the throttle and expect maximum power to the electric motors. Even then the power cannot be continuous as the buffer will eventually drain under high demand, usually after 15 seconds or so depending upon the size of the buffer. To date I'm aware of no HFCV's that can operate without a buffer.
It’s only because they recruited the head of bmw m division
This is one of the best 80's looking designs I've ever seen, I did a triple take when I saw that it wasn't a vintage JDM car. Like a modded Guigaro Izuzu "piazza" /"ace of spades" concept car
Wow an actual future car. Straight up the modern Countach.
Hope this car starts a trend. If sports car looked like the n vision 74 in the near future, I would not be mad.
Until it becomes the new pt cruiser lol
@@lukasg4807 Except the PT Cruiser was ugly from the start, cattering to an older demographic. Nice pedo profile picture btw
No sound, no thanks. Sound is half the experience.
The new Z has similar retro styling, but it has to be a little more sensible because it's a real car.
@@lukasg4807 oh no lol
I seriously hope this becomes commercially available and viable. It's restoring my faith in modern design and I really like the Delorean style to it. Even if they would make a low horsepower one to make it more accessible to those who cannot afford premium priced cars would be nice.
It was discontinued
@@TuneyDarko hydrogen
Base model will be 120,000 with todays market.
@@TuneyDarkofalse.
In fact, the Delorean's design was taken from this car's original Hyundai Pony.
Awsome work Hyundai...when most manufacturers are boring ur approach is wonderful 🎉
Amazing design. Love them both.
Hyundai is killing it. I love how they're using the switch to electric to rebrand themselves as a major competitor.
I’m guessing Hyundai will be one of the higher tiered cars in the late 2035s. (Aka Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, ETC.)
@@BrisRBLX Oh please 😂
Exactly! Almost like they found their niche!
They’re already trying to do it with Genesis!
@@kei9716 he’s right actually. I think they are a superior company and people will catch on.
As an Audi fanboy and German car fan in general I can't believe there would be a day where I would give up my Audi for a Hyundai. Both Hyundai and Kia are killing it in terms of design, innovation, tech, power, etc. I would take that Hyundai N Vision 74 over pretty much any car right now.
Finally someone that sees it. I feel like Hyundai and Audi have been swapping design languages lately. If it continues I’m selling my s3 for the next Hyundai electric with a sub 4sec 0-60.
Hyundai N division is in German.
I feel you man😂
@@Albanian007BK makes sense since Hyundai literally hired German designers from BMW and Audi(?)
@@Albanian007BK I'm in the same boat. I have a stage 2 S3.
I've seen this car so many times... And I am not even tired.. Wow..
I love this retro futureistic car
Hyundai definitely has become one of my favourite brands lately! I am seriously impressed by their passion and the underdog history. Now they are even leading other brands forward. Huge thumbs up Hyundai truly deserves!
I second it. Lately i have seen good cars from them. Even the new elantra looks so good.
That’s because you are a shill from china
it’s a trash company. many mechanics have walked out of dealerships bc of how bad the cars are. they cut corners . not a good company
@@whippetcanister4278 Well, people all have different ideas. But i assume, their quality is gonna get better & better and even now i can already see those advances in their recent revealed ones. I'd say, they are absolutely not the trash-like brand. Maybe before.. but not now. And i have nothing to say about the mechanics thingy since i have not ever heard of stuffs like that. But simply, It is now the 3rd biggest car manufacturer in the world. And that result was not made out of nothing.
They’ve been creeping up the last 15 years or so for sure.
Build the 74, build the 74, build the 74. I'm Korean and I've been selling tuning parts and accessories for Korean cars for over 20 years and these two cars literally bring tears to my eyes. I remember my 96 Tiburon where you couldn't open the door when you put the car up on a 2-post lift because the chassis was so weak. I think the 74 really has the potential to be a massive gamechanger for Hyundai, I really hope they build it.
Damn i just got a 2013 verna 2 days ago any engine mods u can think of? Its got the 1.6 Petrol motor with the manual transmission
Wow.. I bought some add-ons from you years ago for my Tiburon!
Import shark?
@@chrmnxpnoy no. Different company
@@stickshift13 Hyundai Vision 74 had 681bhp.
I never thought I’d be drooling over a Hyundai car, but man. This car is dope.
I test drove a number of SUV’s back in 2018, Mazda CX9, Ford Explorer, various Toyotas, right through to AUDI’s. All brand new from the dealership. Then I took the Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander, and it was a complete cut above the rest, from styling right through to the tech and luxuries.. I bought the Highlander, and to this day, I absolutely love driving it, it’s such a pleasure to drive and I’m still impressed by the technology almost 6 years later. It’s been a faultless car also
I’ll give Korea props for creating this car. This looks so damn good for a concept in real life. Not a lot of concept cars can achieve the same level of appeal because in reality they look too futuristic or just ugly. If Kia and Hyundai continues with this level of ingenuity, it will correct a lot of their wrongs during the 90s to 2000s. I’d say this is their redemption.
What? Kias and Hyundais have been fye for the past 5 years
This concept needs to go to production, we need a new wave of styling (and also to start moving toward the Blade Runner type vehicles we were supposed to have now) because a lot of pretty exciting cars are beginning to look fairly similar and not many are that striking
kzhead.info/sun/iKWgqKxxjnOfi3A/bejne.html
I wholeheartedly agree. The car is beautiful

💯
its cool but man its never going into production. and the car he drove is literally a race car so I don't know what people are referring to when they say it should be taken to production
This looks futuristic and retro at the same time. Love it.. We seriously need more retro futuristic designs on roads..
Best Design I have seen in ages...
This is arguably the best car my eyes have gazed upon, wow am speachless, the retro modern look is just done to perfection, the contrast of big shapes with small shapes and sleak design is to die for, what a masterpiece
Every cyberpunk super car render artist's wet dream haha
I totally agree! This car is such a masteriece, the only turndown for me is that there is no petrol engine making any noice. It's just... (dramatic pause) silence when you press the pedal. If there was a turbocharged V8 etc... I'd take out a loan and buy one in an instant if Hyundai decides to take this into production.

It’s wonderful to see car designs are taking a turn for the better
I've never given hyundai a thought until now. I really hope they come out with the N vision 74!
Never would i have thought that out of all the car manufacturers it would be hyundai to be the ones that do electric sports cars/race cars right. Shifting and engine noise is such an important reference for how fast you are going when on the track. Without it you have to check the speedometer to see how fast you are going, but with audio feedback you can keep your eyes on the road and know approximately how fast you are going. And that Vision 74 is just such an incredibly gorgeous car, i absolutely hope they make a road car version of it and because this race version looks so good, please also make a racing series out of it. Kinda reminds me of the BMW M1 Procar, and that was awesome
I disagree. An experienced racer can sense how fast they are going. The average joe obviously can't because they've hardly ever gone over the speed limit.
@@Cardiakk I disagree. The man doing the video is clearly very good at what he’s doing. And he said that it benefits him. He’s able to control the drivetrain and that’s very important in race cars
@@north6star You don't need shifting to know how fast you're going..look at the Formula E guys. You can sense how fast you're going visually and through the seat of your pants, IF you're an experienced driver.
Agree, having the sound feedback is extremely crucial.
Actually it is kinda makes sense in car maker market. Historically speaking, in order to push the car making technology, the only way to do it is by focusing in engineering, when a car is well engineered, chances are the fan would like to make the most out of it by using aftermarket stuff, and with that the manufacturer support that too, the relationship goes mutually. Seeing the history of hyundai, we know that it might be one of the big car manufacture that for some reason ( correct me if im wrong here) didnt have a stake in racing, you might be thinking there are no correlation between big car manufacture and racing, but in more way than one, racing will always about pushing the technology and engineering to the limit, so when a car manufacture win a specific racing, you could correlate like this : X brand wins le mans 2022, it must be because they make the car so well engineered!. And in many sector, hyundai cant beat car racing in conventional one, but electric racing car is still up for to take, we know that the current market still on tesla, but as much we like it, tesla might not win if you compare it by company size, and it seems hyundai know that
*This car looks like the future and the past perfectly merging together this thing is beautiful* 😍 The cars these guys are starting to put out are unreal
It kinda looks like a delorean
@@cheetahluv210 yep, I thought it was a Delorean!
@@efxr6538 N Vision 74 is the recreation of the concept vehicle(Hyundai Pony Coupe ) introduced back in the 1974 Turin Auto Show. Hyundai Pony Coupe did not make it into mass production. Then DMC saw it and liked the concept of the Pony coupe and bring this design into DeLorean DMC-12. N Vision 74 does not have DeLorean influences, but actually, DeLorean is influenced by Pony Coupe. They were both designed by the same guy, Giorgetto Giugi.
Amazinly beatiful design
the 74 is simply beautiful
I've never been so in love with an EV car before. That vision 74 is drop dead gorgeous! It makes me wanna buy another Hyundai. Kudos to Hyundai for their innovation and appealing designs.
I would imagine it would be considered a plug in hybride since it had a fuel cell to also charge its batteries for its motor
it's hybrid.
@Arron Yes it is. It's just not *only* an EV
@@birddaddydetta by that definition all cars with a battery and an alternator are EVs since electricity fires the spark which drives the motor, and also is required for the car to start. It’s not an EV, it’s a hybrid

The 74 is literally the greatest car design I've ever seen in my life. The RN22e looks freaking hot too.

I feel the same. It’s garbage that they make such insanely cool car designs, only to keep them as concepts
Wicked wicked video! Thank you for that refreshing look at retro & modern car tech combination! This brought back my nostalgia for the DeLorean ... The 74 looks amazing ! #drool
I have a hydrogen station down the street from me. I'm not big on the whole "electric car" movement, but this Hyundai N Vision 74 is something I could live with
I love the look of the N vision 74. Something from 40 years ago that still looks good is not 'retro'-it's timeless.
On first glance from the side, the silhouette reminded me of my 1980Toyota Corolla SR5 Hatchback. Wierd...
@@pfunklife9379 oh man I wrote this when I was a bit drunk. I sound like such a wanker haha 😂
Reminds me also of a car of Cyberpunk
more like 50 years I'm afraid.
This N Vision 74.... what a feast to the eyes... a truly well balanced and timeless piece of design. Well done!
Front is absolutely gorgeous. Side screaming "delorean". Back side needs a bit of redesigning tbh. But I like it. I think that bringing the retro design in the new cars is the finest idea.
FYI, The original reference car of V74 is Hyundai Pony and that was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro who had designed DeLorean. Therefore, v74 is sort of a grand niece of DeLorean in the same design family.
Nice shots. Good job camera person. We all want the 74! Please Hyundai!!!
“Don’t kill what you hate, save what you love” Beautiful car !
This is seriously one of the best looking cars I have ever laid my eyes on. I really do hope they make this a production reality.
That's why I wish they made it less complicated, it looks awesome but this thing making it into production is very unlikely, and if it does then it's going to be disgustingly expensive. they should've made it more like the Z or Mk5 so it would have a better chance at actually being made and people could actually afford it
Too bad people won’t afford it
@@askip9304 right, just make it a simple ev with a bit of extra torque and retain the rwd so some crazy japanese people can togue drift it lol
@@aeway_ ok my opinion on this is that the whole reason it's a big deal is its hydrogen powered, if they take that part away I am thinking it will just be another car that follows the masses
@@thomasbradley2186 i mean i get what you mean but i feel that the hydrogen part is not really the main selling point. what people want is the aesthetic of older, more boxy sports cars in the form of an electric car
The sound feedback from the car is so important, hopefully other manufacturers catch on.
Beautiful looks like back to the future cars
I am more excited about these cars than I am about any upcoming hypercar. The Vision 74 looks INCREDIBLE, and what really got me excited about the RN22e is that simulated gear shift and that sound. The idea of using engine braking to simulate shifting in an instantaneous way is GENIUS. And listen to that thing, it sounds like it's climbing up a rev range just like an engine, but with that high pitch electric power whine instead, which I think is really cool. I cannot wait to see these things come to production.
That 74 is amazing. Hell, if either car was released without changing the design they would dominate the market
In contrast to the fraudulent situation with Toyota, Hyundai has been consistently introducing high-quality products that are well-aligned with the demands of the contemporary market.
this is legit gonna be the best car ever made
Hyundai has made me look forward to the future. Finally, a manufacturer who designs boldly. Id have the vision 74 in a heartbeat.
I wonder when the whole industry wakes up and understand that this is how the future should look like, not some bmw IX garbage, but this. There is a reason why the cyberpunk aesthetic is so popular, because it looks awesome and this concept is proof that people want to drive this and not some bloated google car.
Amen, this looks badass
Exactly. It's grounded yet futuristic. It is bold and iconic not a blurred trend that means it wont stand out in crowds. Purely great. Just a pity for the lack of sound.
Thanks for such a delicious video! Man, I was drooling over the table the whole time watching it haha Great job!!
Absolutely beautiful design elements!
now that design what i call art.
The Vision 74 is the nicest-looking car since mid-90's Japan. I love it.
I still think the Lexus LC500 is the nicest even though it's been around since 2018.
Absolutely beautiful, if they make a consumer friendly model that doesn't lose the aesthetic or all the features I'm sold
this thing looks like a love letter to 80s car culture. im so happy to see a breakaway from the modern car design formula, body lines remind me heavily of the Starion, or mk3 Supra, the wheels give me corvette salad shooter vibes, and the massive air ducts look straight from a group b rally car. perfetto
The fact they are even letting you test drive, drift, and drive their new prototype tells me all I need to know about how confident they are that this is the next generation
I ask you to consider the following, please _[use your mind as prime lead, not emotions]_ ; the push for EVs is a NWO agenda, they will be able to shut off your car remotely if you do not pay your bills, so there will be no more escape, you will be catalogued, monitored, tracked, databased so you are a red dot 24/7 on their radar = no more privacy, they will be able to micro-tax you now because your car will via wirless how much energy you are using or they can stop your car remotely for anything they wish etc and thus we will be under such a technocratic feudalist invisible prison unlike ever before in history, and it will be called "Freedom." We are being so beguiled.. and so many on this page prove they are not intelligent enough to discern they are being beguiled into attaching the chains to their own ankles.
From S. Korea here, Korea is investing a ton of money into hydrogen tech. There are already commercial and consumer cars on the road using hydrogen fuel cells. They have also been building up hydrogen fuel stations and fast charge stations all over, especially the areas between cities at rest stops along the interstates over the past year. I think in a couple of years there are going to be a lot more hydrogen based EV models revealed as Hyundai and Kia have both pledged to leave out of petrol by 2035 entirely and are currently retooling their factory and robotic production lines.
Took your 69 away 😔
Shame that hydrogen in cars makes no sense at all.
Emissions wise it sounds incredible.. based on dwindling water supply.. it's not feasible for large scale.. electric/hydrogen?. I think quartz compression is where the power is.. Quartz is abundant.
Some smart people realize that CNG pyrolysis will drive hydrogen and carbon black costs down seriously.
@@arsnotorioushow does that work? Im just curious, never heard of it
Beautiful!!!! N74 really really love it❤❤
I do believe they said the sound of the RN22E is simply from some implemented software. But that thing sounds like something straight out of TRON and I’m here for it. 😂 These cars look absolutely fantastic! I’d totally get an N74. The world needs more cars like these.
The 74 is a thing of pure beauty.
Top Gear is probably right on this one. Hyundai/Kia might be the brand of the future car world. 🔥🔥
Most definitely. Kia has been putting out bangers
They don't have then finances for it. I believe if they start becoming succesful to the point of interfering with the really big players, they will either be bought out or copied.
@@SevCars Hyundai being bought out? Not having the finances? LOL! Hyundai is already a Big 4 and can buy the majority of the brands out there. Also, you silly child probably thought Hyundai only makes cars. Hyundai is a conglomerate.
@@SevCars Hyundai Motor Group had 85 billion Euros in revenue last year. And they're just a piece of the larger Hyundai Group conglomeration that is involved in everything from cars to IT to construction to robotics (did you know Hyundai owns Boston Dynamics?) to elevators to resorts to shipbuilding - both commercial ships and warships (they are literally the no. 1 shipbuilding company in the world right now). They've got finances out the ass.
we need this one on production i swear on my life
This thing looks so cool with its retro look! Im a fan for retro and vintage studd this car looks amazing, would it be something i would buy? No but it would be an awesome racing car!
The responsive and intuitive "shift sounds" are revolutionary, imo. This might just boost EVs into racing sports big time.

Needs more straight cut gear whine
It would be actually cool if this was interpreted by the system in a car what the driver is intending to do next. If it has no sensors to see that there is a turn or the data it's getting isn't clear, the paddle shifting could inform the "AI" that it has to prepare the drive systems for a turn, or for overtake etc. It could help on technical, performance level, not only psychologically/UX wise I think.
N Vision 74 is the recreation of the concept vehicle(Hyundai Pony Coupe ) introduced back in the 1974 Turin Auto Show. Hyundai Pony Coupe did not make it into mass production. Then DMC saw it and liked the concept of the Pony coupe and bring this design into DeLorean DMC-12. N Vision 74 does not have DeLorean influences, but actually, DeLorean is influenced by Pony Coupe. They were both designed by the same guy, Giorgetto Giugi.
But the Ionia 5 was based off of the “Pony” too…
@@jaycorbin5361 It was, but the production model Pony, which looked a lot more pedestrian.
Did he say a 4 kilo battery can be charged in 5 minutes and give 370 miles of range? That's insane!
This is the best car design I have ever seen in my life.
I’m not a car guy but after seeing that n74 robot machine I’m in love wow! 😍
Korean cars keep getting better and better. Exciting to see them think out of the box
Beautiful car I’m in love with this car and the Ioniq N 5 looking nice cars
Just before, Hyundai Motor announced that it will produce this beautiful concept limited edition. Only 100. It will be 800 hp and aims to launch it in the first half of 2026.
Only 100? It's going to be a bit hard for me to get one then. 😢
The combo of conventional electric powertrain with the "optional" hydrogen fuel cell is genius. Charge it normally most of the time, and if you need to fill it quick or just want a ton of extra range you can have it! That's so rad!
And it only adds 7 kilos, so virtually no dead weight from it.
It just takes out ur rear seats.
@@trstnhn That's because they borrowed the hydrogen system from their hydrogen car Hyundai Nexo (SUV). It's more of 'proof of concept' car, thus not optimized for spaces.
Sure, if you can find a hydrogen fill station...
@@mrflippant Chicken and egg. Either you kickstart the production of hydrogen-electrics or you build a bunch of filling stations, but whatever you do, the other will follow.
What a fantastic design job! Hyundai and Kia are on a right path
It's a classically beatiful car. Unlike that beemer which looks like a pig that inhaled too many bees.
Until it blows up and puts the driver on the right path to the moon lol.
@@danielloewen2855 Korean cars are as reliable as the Japanese ones.
They need to work on theft prevention though Even the tiktokers are stealing these cars
@@tybarker5038 drive stick. Best anti theft vehicles
Production has been green lit
undead design! Can't wait to buy one! Please make it reliable and modular, so it can last for long time and make your company much greater !
