Straight from the movie “Back to the Future”, Hyundai’s new hybrid car inspired by the film arrives on the Brazilian market with a total power of 500 kW

With retro design and cutting-edge technology, Hyundai's new FCEV promises high performance and fast refueling

Hyundai has just confirmed that one of the most anticipated cars by futuristic vehicle enthusiasts, the N Vision 74, is scheduled for production. Inspired by the iconic 1974 Hyundai Pony Coupe, the N Vision 74 is a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCEV) which combines retro design with the most advanced automotive technology. During Hyundai's Investor Day, the automaker revealed its plans to launch 21 new electric models by 2030, and the N Vision 74 is one of the big bets of this new line, according to the Olhar Digital website.

Futuristic design and high-powered performance

With a look that looks like it came straight out of a science fiction movie, like Mad Max and Back to the Future, the Hyundai N Vision 74 hybrid car stands out for its unique aesthetics. The design pays homage to the 1974 Pony Coupe concept, but with a modern approach that refers to the future of mobility.

This FCEV model is not just a visual work of art. It is equipped with two 235 kW motors on each rear wheel.Or this provides a total power of 500 kW, equivalent to an impressive 670,5 hp. Additionally, the N Vision 74 delivers 900 Nm of torque, ensuring exceptional performance.

Fuel cell technology and rapid refueling

Unlike traditional hybrid cars that use large batteries, the N Vision 74 is powered by a fuel cell that uses hydrogen. This system offers the advantage of rapid refueling, similar to that of a gasoline car, which can be an important differentiator for those who want to avoid long loading waits typical of battery electric vehicles.

The N Vision 74 hybrid car promises a range of over 600 km on a single refueling, which makes it a viable option for long trips. However, hydrogen station infrastructure is still a challenge to be overcome. In the United States, there are only 59 hydrogen filling stations, while in the United Kingdom there are only six. In South Korea, the scenario is more promising, with around 172 positions available.

Challenges and expectations

Despite the infrastructure limitations, the attractive design and the promising performance of the N Vision 74 hybrid car may compensate for the practical difficulties. However, it is important to remember that although Hyundai has announced its production plans, There is still uncertainty about when the model will be officially available on the market.

The Hyundai has demonstrated a more realistic approach compared to other automakers that have made ambitious promises in the past. One example is Harley-Davidson, which in 2017 promised to launch 100 new models in 10 years, a goal that turned out to be difficult to achieve.

With the N Vision 74, Hyundai not only pays homage to the past with a retro design, but also looks to the future with innovative and sustainable technology. This model has the potential to redefine the concept of sports cars in the market, combining the best of both worlds: classic style and cutting-edge performance.
