First unveiled last year as a “rolling lab” under the automaker’s high-performance N sublabel, the sleek sports coupe of the future was designed to showcase Hyundai’s commitment to zero-emission technologies. Now, nearly a year on, insiders suggest that the N Vision 74 could be headed to production, with a reported announcement and reveal set for May 27th.

The sports model is set to take on the historic Pony Coupe moniker, paying homage to the original 1974 two-door that has long been credited with kick-starting the Korean car industry. The Pony nameplate was a major success for Hyundai, with the production version launching in 1975 and remaining a fixture of the brand’s lineup in various forms until the 2000s. Both the first-generation model and the coupe concept that preceded it sported iconic body designs by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro.

Now, Fabrizio Guigiaro, son of Giorgetto Guigiaro, is rumoured to be leading the design of the production car, ensuring that the new Pony Coupe is imbued with the same iconic visual language that has come to define the nameplate over the years. It remains to be seen whether the hydrogen hybrid power system from the N Vision 74 concept will make its way into the production model, or if the automaker will opt for a more conventional powertrain.

Regardless of what powertrain Hyundai chooses, it is clear that the new Pony Coupe will build on the legacy of its predecessor, showcasing Hyundai’s commitment to cutting-edge design and technology. The original Pony Coupe paved the way for Hyundai to become a true powerhouse in the automotive industry, and the new production model is poised to do the same.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
