I felt very proud that I was in charge of creating a vehicle for a company and country that was about to take on a fiercely competitive global market.

    The South Korean car company announced the plan during a Design Talk in Seoul, featuring the father and son duo, along with Hyundai Motor Group Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Luc Donckerwolke.

    “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Giorgetto and Fabrizio to Seoul for this rare occasion and we look forward to collaborating with them and GFG Style on this extraordinary design project. 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,” Donckerwolke said.

    Also present was Hyundai Motors Global Design Center Executive Vice President and Head SangYup Lee.

    “The original Pony and Pony Coupe Concept were one of those rare creations that influenced the designs of not just one but multiple productions and concept vehicles, including our award-winning Ioniq 5 and attention-grabbing N Vision 74. 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,'” Lee stated.
