"Not only does this project hold historical value, but it also represents a cross-cultural exchange that could pave the way for more collaborations down the road.""The original Pony and Pony Coupe Concept were one of those rare creations that influenced the designs of not just one but multiple production and concept vehicles, including our award-winning IONIQ 5 and attention-grabbing N Vision 74," said Hyundai Motor Group Executive Vice President SangYup Lee. "Since the original concept car no longer exists, we've commissioned Giorgetto Giugiaro to rebuild it based on our design philosophy, 'Shaping the future with legacy.'"
