Two years after unveiling the N Vision 74 concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Hyundai's plan to produce the hydrogen-powered coupe has enthusiasts buzzing. The South Korean newspaper, Hankyung, reported Hyundai's intent to move the futuristic concept into production. The N Performance department is in talks with production partners to kickstart the manufacturing process, targeting a production date of June 2026. The initial specs of the N Vision 74 promised a powerful combination of a 62.4 kWh battery and a hydrogen fuel cell, providing 372 miles of range and 670 hp.
