Toned-down may be a bit of a misnomer, however, as Hyundai executives have continually spoken of their dream to build a Hyundai supercar. These comments have been interspersed with talks of a production N Vision 74 and a performance car carrying a six-figure price tag.
These all seem like pieces that fit together with the latest report that the concept may become a reality.
Whether Hyundai buyers would be willing to spend Corvette Z06 money on a car wearing the Hyundai badge is a huge gamble. Still, Hyundai may reduce costs by leveraging the technology in other high-end products.
Genesis, for example, is reportedly planning a high-end GT car that could use the Genesis GT90 moniker. If the GT90 shared a platform and powertrain with a new N-badged Pony Coupe, it would allow Hyundai to make it more marketable to various audiences, increasing the prospective sales volumes and reducing cost.
It’s mostly rumor and conjecture, but if the N Vision 74 is heading to production, we won’t have to wait long to find out more.
