Legendary car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro says he hopes he can work with Hyundai on future projects, after reviving the classic Hyundai Pony Coupe concept
And in an interview at the recreated Pony Coupé's unveiling, the 84-year-old designer hinted that he's prepared to work with Hyundai on future products too. and Hyundai, he said: “We hope. We would certainly have the desire to be involved in new projects.
"They have a very, very big design and creative team, but it's always important to have influence and creative ideas from somebody outside, because a company such as ours could effectively stimulate and create new research and new ideas - something which could be useful for their design team." Notably, Hyundai has been vocal about its intent to revive elements of historic designs in its new cars, with design boss SangYup Lee pledging to root Hyundai's future design strategy in its"legacy" and pointing to cues such as the"parametric" pixel headlights of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 as elements that hark back several decades.
There remains no indication that the Vision N 74 could be put into production, and the Pony Coupé has been designed faithfully to 1974 specifications solely for Hyundai's corporate collection; but similarly angular, Giugiaro-inspired designs could be on the cards for upcoming models.
