One of the best-looking concept cars announced in recent history has to be the Hyundai N Vision 74 —conceived by the legendary Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and reportedly housing a futuristic hydrogen fuel-cell power unit. Now, you can buy your very own miniature example as the South Korean automaker announces it’ll also be selling a remote control (RC) version of the Hyundai N Vision 74.
Currently, it’s understood that only 100 examples of the full-sized Hyundai N Vision 74 will be produced (70 for the road, 30 for track racing). Meaning this 1:10 scale replica will be the next best thing. Measuring 46 centimetres long, 18.5 centimetres wide, and 12.5 centimetres tall, it arrives with an off-the-shelf CTX-2000 pistol controller, complete with a throttle trigger and a side-mounted steering wheel.

For decades, Giorgetto Giugiaro was one of the world’s most prolific automotive designers, responsible for everything from the Lotus Esprit S1 featured in James Bond’s The Spy Who Loved Me (and the Lotus Esprit Turbo in For Your Eyes Only) to the latest DeLorean Motor Company Alpha5 EV.
Giugiaro’s relationship with Hyundai dates all the way back to the mid-70s, around the time he created the Pony Coupe, which served as a principal inspiration for John DeLorean’s DMC-12 of Back to the Future fame.
The Hyundai N Vision 74 RC will soon be available for purchase via the Hyundai Collection site for ₩498,000 (AU$565). Keep an eye out on the link below.
