- A new rumor says that Hyundai is building a production version of the N Vision 74.
- In fact, it claims that tier-one suppliers are already building parts and that the car will arrive in 2026.
- When it does, it’s supposedly going to have even more horsepower than the concept did.
There’s little question about how much enthusiasts lust after the Hyundai N Vision 74 concept. It’s a stunning rendition of the Pony and it just so happens to use a hydrogen fuel cell to develop up to 670 horsepower (499 kW).
Since its debut, rumors have persisted that Hyundai might actually put it into production. Earlier this year, Albert Biermann, the man behind the N division, told us it wouldn’t happen. Now, a new report says that parts are already in development.

This comes from Korea Economic Daily which says that Hyundai will build a total of 200 examples beginning in June of 2026. The car will evidently be in production for two years with 100 units rolling out of the factory each year. For now, it’s in the pre-production development stage with a tier-one supplier telling KED that it had plans to finish its contracted components by July of this year.
It also claims that the car is codenamed N74 (real secretive nomenclature that) and that the finished product will have gull-wing doors and maintain its hydrogen drivetrain. At the same time, it won’t be exactly the same. It’ll reportedly make 764 horsepower (569 kW), not the paltry 670 from the concept and it’ll be capable of going from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in approximately three seconds.
Again, all of this is rumor for now with zero official word from Hyundai except that, as Biermann told us, “We are not making show cars,” like the N Vision 74. After all, this is supposed to cost something in the realm of $366,000 if the reports are correct. For Biermann, that sort of price puts it out of the realm of possibility.
He specifically said that he wants as many enthusiasts on the road enjoying N cars as possible. “This is what we need on the road and not the front-page car for the very few who put them in the garage,” he went on. At the same time, there’s little question that a production version of this car would be a venerable flagship for Hyundai. It could serve as a standard that the brand is a leader in design and in hydrogen tech.
