For many of us on hand, the highlight had to be Hyundai’s spectacular N Vision 74 Concept

Looking like the lovechild of a DMC DeLorean and a circa 1980s silhouette race car, the N Vision 74 graced the show stand in LA and blew all those in attendance some distance away. We boldly predict it will be one of the biggest draws during the portion of the auto show open to the public.

Hyundai told the wonderful story of how the DMC DeLorean that this concept so clearly resembles was in fact inspired by Hyundai’s original 70s-era Pony Coupe, so there’s a full-circle element to this.

Power from the hydrogen-electric RWD powertrain is rated at around 671 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, fed to the rear wheels only. Aerodynamic elements include a massive rear wing and diffuser as well as disc-like wheels. You may be able to see a bit of the Ioniq 5 in the headlights, but that’s about it. This is a unique creature.
