Al Concours d’Elegance Villa d’Este the history of is celebrated Hyundai. Almost 40 years after its debut at the Turin Motor Show, the Pony Coupe Conceptone of the most iconic prototypes of the Korean House, whose lines have also influenced the most recent electric models.

Rebuilt by Giorgetto Giugiaro (the “father” of the original concept), the Pony Coupé can be admired live on Saturday 20 May on Lake Como.

The myth comes back to life

Although the first model of Hyundai as an independent house was not mass-produced due to the global economic crisis of the 1970s, its spirit and style have survived to this day.

As mentioned, in fact, the concept has been a source of inspiration for some of the Hyundais of recent years, such as the Ioniq 5 and the N Vision 74. The latter sports car with hydrogen fuel cell technology is – for now – only a concept , with the Korean brand which has denied the rumors relating to a possible series production.

However, the Pony Coupé is likely to further fuel the creativity of Hyundai designers in the future, such as the recent winner of the 2023 World Car Person of the Year award, SangYup Lee.

Minimalist interior

In addition to the squared line and characterized by the “truncated tail”, the sportswoman present at Villa d’Este sports the minimalist interior and very well cared for in style. Just some of these details could characterize the models of tomorrow, with the Korean brand studying a series of interesting innovations.
