Iconic 1974 Design Comes Back to Life

Legendary automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro is recreating and resurrecting his 1974 iconic Hyundai Pony Coup concept design for Hyundai and for the world of drivers who love retro to see in real-time perfection.  His original design had tremendous consequences.  It inspired the DeLorean DMC 12 and many of Hyundai's most successful models.  South Korean based Hyundai's executive leadership has so much respect for the distinguished, 84-year-old Italian automotive designer that they asked him to recreate his original concept for Hyundai once again.  He is doing it and it is causing a major buzz of excitement in the global automotive world. 

The New Pony - What Is It?

The new Pony is a true and authentic re-creation of the original 1974 Pony.  It has a combustion engine and is being created with only the available tools that were used in the mid-1970's.  The effort is being fully documented by Hyundai to show the history of car design, modeling and concept production of the original Pony.  It is designed by Hyundai as a tribute to a truly authentic and innovative designer and his extraordinary car design.  Giugiaro's car designs are impressive and include the original VW Golf, DeLorean DMC-12, and many Hyundai models, including the Sonata and Pony. The new Pony will be unveiled in the spring of 2023 and who knows where the iconic classic will go from there.  Hyundai and Giugiaro have ongoing projects including new EVs.
