Me too, if there's even a hint of a production version of this I'll be holding out on replacing my current car until it becomes available. It's so so cool.I'm in love with this thing.
If they make a production version of this thing, I will have it. I just hope it doesn't hit the streets as a fuel cell. Just make it a PHEV with ~30 miles of EV range, Hyundai, please.
cut the front lip a little bit and it's perfect.

I can't see why the car would be allowed to be sold in the state if it wasn't legal. Then again sometimes things just don't make sense.
Negative. It's legal in the default setting which means it's legal and the other settings are irrelevant. Testing standards require that it pass in the default stop-start mode and hold no other provisions at all. It should be an unenforceable situation.The cars legal in the state in the default exhaust seeing, which is all that's required, it's illegal in any of the other settings.

According to a report published by the Korean publication Money Today, Hyundai will organize a "Pony Day" at its design studio in Seoul on May 27. It will not only reveal plans to build the car but also show it in its final guise, presumably less radical than last year's striking concept. Take the reveal date provided by MT with the proverbial pinch of salt as the publication doesn't mention from where it received the information, only referring to undisclosed industry sources.
I just hope it's not a pure BEV, or at least there is an option for either the fuel cell or some kind of plug-in hybrid setup. The design is still just awesome.Rumors say Hyundai will allegedly produce the N Vision 74, an announcement will be made on May 27th
Hyundai N Vision 74 To Go Into Production As Pony Coupe: Report
South Korea's Money Today magazine reports Hyundai will announce a production version of the N Vision 74 on May 27 as a Pony Coupe.www.motor1.com
The debacle began when Korean outlet Money Today reported a production version of the Hyundai Pony Coupe-inspired concept would drop at a "Pony Day" event in Seoul on May 27. However, another Korean publication, newspaper conglomerate Wikitree, says Hyundai told it "there is no plan to mass-produce the Pony Coupe, and there is no [May 27] Pony Day event planned."
That sounds clear-cut, but when we contacted Hyundai USA for clarity, the picture blurred again. Hyundai's spokespeople couldn't comment on whether the N Vision 74 will reach production, saying: "We're totally in the dark about that." If even parts of Hyundai don't know, then all we can do is speculate—and the available evidence only makes that more difficult.
A Hyundai spokesperson from the U.S. has put the final nail in the coffin of the rumor that the automaker is working to put a production version of the N Vision 74 into production under the name “Pony Coupe.”
“We are aware of media speculations on the potential commercial production of the N Vision 74 rolling lab development model,” Hyundai spokesperson Derek Joyce told Carscoops after talking to the company’s Korean brass. “However, we currently have no plan to put the model into commercial production.”
However, what is coming soon is a recreation of the original Pony Coupe.
When it announced the project, Hyundai said that the recreated classic concept would be revealed in the spring of this year. Unfortunately, the car is intended only as a trip down memory lane for the brand, and it will not spawn a new model either.
“While the heritage and spirit of Pony models have a lasting impact on the Hyundai Motor Company, we currently have no plan for a commercial production of the Pony Coupe Concept,” said Joyce.
