After years of hypothesis and rumors, Hyundai has lastly confirmed plans to place its extremely well-liked N Imaginative and prescient 74 idea into manufacturing. The announcement comes as a part of Hyundai’s plans to debut 21 new fashions by the 12 months 2030.
Hyundai snuck the information right into a slide on the firm’s annual CEO and Investor Day presentation, mentioning the N Imaginative and prescient 74 as considered one of its future “high-performance EVs.”
There is no phrase on powertrain or efficiency specs for the production-bound N Imaginative and prescient 74, that means it is anybody’s guess as as to if Hyundai will maintain the idea’s 671-horsepower hydrogen gasoline cell or undertake a totally electrical drivetrain. Contemplating the dearth of mass adoption for hydrogen energy, we might wager on the latter.

Again in December, we heard a rumor Hyundai could be placing the N Imaginative and prescient 74 into manufacturing in extraordinarily restricted numbers, with simply 100 deliberate items (70 for street use, and one other 30 for racing). If manufacturing plans actually are that small, Hyundai might in all probability get away with retaining the hydrogen energy plant with out an excessive amount of pushback.
That very same report claimed the manufacturing N Imaginative and prescient 74 would make 800 hp from its hydrogen, twin electrical motor powertrain. One other report from The Korean Automobile Weblog claims the quantity can be nearer to 775 hp. Suffice to say, this automotive can be very fast.
Hyundai hasn’t launched any particulars on manufacturing timing, apart from that the automotive can be out earlier than 2030. That report from The Korean Automobile Weblog suggests manufacturing will begin in 2026, and that R&D for the automotive is already underway on the firm’s Namyang growth middle. We suspect it will solely be a matter of time till camouflaged prototypes start to seem on the street.
