Over a century ago, when the first gasoline-powered car was introduced to the world, no one ever thought of anything beyond it. Fast forward to the current day, these cars are now regarded as the dinosaur of the automotive industry. Car manufacturers today are releasing EVs and having plans to electrify their complete lineup in the coming years. However, Hyundai is not placing all of its bets on electric mobility, and the latest Vision FK Concept is a testament to that.

The Vision FK Concept is a hydrogen-fueled hybrid sportscar, which Hyundai has unveiled at the 2021 IAA AutoShow at Munich. The Vision FK Concept is a plug-in hybrid vehicle that Hyundai is developing alongside the Croatian electric supercar manufacturer Rimac, in which Hyundai holds a significant stake.

According to Hyundai, this setup produces an impressive 671 hp and will achieve 0-62 MPH in less than 4 seconds.

Coming on to the visual aspect, though the Vision FK Concept was heavily camouflaged, we do see a similar design to the Kia Stinger with the fastback styling and a lip spoiler. However, the Vision FK Concept adds the visual flair (which happens to be a distinctive feature of all the upcoming EVs) with a 2-door design and unique side markers next to the taillights.

No other details have been revealed by Hyundai and have declared that they are all in for a greener future. According to Hyundai, they plan to make their portfolio entirely based on EV models by 2035 in Europe and by 2040 in other markets.
