Hyundai and legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro have teamed up to painstakingly recreate the long-lost 1974 Pony Coupé concept
However, Hyundai was keen to have a more exciting version than the utilitarian hatchback for the 1974 Turin motor show, so it ordered Giugiaro to design a coupé version with the same floorplan and mechanical package.
The result was low, looked athletic and had the wedgy design language that buyers of the era had been trained to associate with sports cars. The new concept perfectly replicates the Pony’s “origami-like” exterior, sleek roofline and wedge-shaped front end. Its interior is also reminiscent of the 1974 original, with a minimalist design featuring a single-spoke steering wheel and slim, two-tone bucket seats.
The prospect of the Pony Coupé was short-lived back in the 1970, it never making production due to “adverse global economic conditions".As well as this new concept, the Pony lives on by inspiring the design of the Hyundai N Vision 74 concept – a hydrogen-fuelled ‘rolling lab’, as well as the Hyundai 45 concept that preceded the battery-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5.
