Possible derivation from Kia Stinger[edit]
The N Vision 74 powertrain is basically identical to that of the Hyundai Vision FK from 2021.[1] The Vision FK, in turn, was photographed in 2021 as a development mule that used a Kia Stinger chassis, modified to accommodate the hydrogen fuel cell hybrid drivetrain.[2] It is interesting to note (but complete synthesis at this point) the Kia Stinger and N Vision 74 share the same wheelbase -- 2,905 mm (114.4 in) -- which suggests the N Vision 74 is a reskinned Vision FK and therefore derived from the Stinger. Since Rimac was acquired by Volkswagen, though, Hyundai have discontinued development of the Vision FK and it is not clear if they hold the rights to the drivetrain technology, implying production status for the N Vision 74 is muddled.[3]

Hyundai has developed a combination of a battery-electric powertrain in conjunction with a fuel-cell system, with the two different power sources used depending on the prevailing driving conditions. The system was first showcased in the Vision FK sports car concept in 2021.
