√Hyundai N Vision 74 may see production after all … as a Lego model

If Hyundai won’t build the N Vision 74 concept car, maybe you can?

The retro-designed Hyundai N Vision 74 hydrogen concept car has taken the automotive world on an emotional rollercoaster over the past few weeks.

Earlier this month, some news reports claimed Hyundai may be building the car as a limited production model that would revive the classic Hyundai Pony name.

Less than 48 hours later Hyundai officially denied the rumour and stated “there is no plan to mass-produce the Pony Coupe.”

However, fans of the retro-inspired super-coupe may be in luck, albeit on a slightly smaller scale.

The Lego Ideas program invites the public to make submissions for future Lego kits, and two users have done exactly that.

The first is a 38cm-long detailed model of the N Vision 74 submitted by user JiHyun Joo.

The car uses 2977 pieces and is similar to current kits in the Lego Creator series. The submission has received 152 supporters so far, and has over a year to reach the next milestone of 1000 supporters.

If a submission reaches 10,000 votes of public support, it is reviewed by Lego’s engineering team and may be selected for production. This was the scenario that lead to the production of the 2016 Lego Caterham 270R kit, as it was originally submitted as an ‘Idea’ back in 2014.

As good as the large model is, it’s the second N Vision 74 idea is the one we really like.

Built in ‘minifigure’ scale, this kit describes the Hyundai concept car’s design process and includes not only the original 1974 Hyundai Pony that was the inspiration for the N Vision 74, but also a clay model and the N-Division’s design studio. There’s a finished N Vision 74 too, complete with a test driver in a ‘Performance Blue’ race suit.

This concept was submitted by user Daytona and has 533 supporters already.
