As quoted from the Hyundai official website, that the Hyundai N Vision 74, which debuted last December is considered to be a "rolling laboratory" and used to try out various features and technologies.

This happened not only because of its epic appearance, but because the N Vision 74 seemed very promising to present a new era of EV performance that really had character and power. It's just that the Hyundai N Vision 74
is a complicated hybrid car that doesn't use a conventional combustion
engine. Instead, it uses an unusual combination of hydrogen fuel cells
and battery power.

The car has a pair of rear-mounted motors that produce 671 horsepower (500 kilowatts) and 664 lbs-ft (900 Newton-meters) of torque. With
a fully charged 62.4 kWh battery and only 4.2 kilograms of hydrogen,
the concept is capable of a range of more than 373 miles (600
kilometers). This highly intriguing concept promises to accelerate from a
standstill in four seconds to 60 mph (96 kph) and reach speeds in
excess of 155 mph (250 kph).

However, it seems that automotive enthusiasts prefer a good combustion engine to be embedded in this Hyundai concept car if it go into production lines someday. And somehow this seems to follow by the manufacturer when the Hyundai N Vision 74 was unveiled, the South Korean automaker said its engineers were looking for ways to add a front motor for more power and better performance.
