Hyundai Celebrates Heritage with ‘PONY, the Timeless’ Exhibition
Hyundai is set to open a special heritage exhibition at the Hyundai Motorstudio Seoul complex in celebration of its new heritage project. The exhibition, called ‘PONY, the timeless,’ will be open to the public from June 9 and follows on from the Hyundai Reunion held in Lake Como, Italy, where the long-awaited restored Pony Coupe Concept was unveiled.
The exhibition will showcase the Pony’s journey through time, starting on the fifth floor with videos, music, and paintings from the 1970s and 80s. The fourth floor of Hyundai Motorstudio Seoul will detail archived records of the Pony while displayed on the third floor is the restored Pony Coupe concept as well as a host of retrospective drawings by designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. On display alongside the Pony is the wildly-popular N Vision 74 Concept.
Hyundai’s special exhibition is capped off with a photo gallery showing some of the moments that people have shared with the car over the years. In addition to opening the exhibition, Hyundai has launched its new book, RETRACE Collection. This book archives the history of the company and includes records from the Pony’s development that are being shown to the public for the very first time.
Bold Challenges and Innovation
Hyundai president Jaehoon Chang said, “Hyundai Motor has a history of taking on bold challenges and being in constant pursuit of innovation, and this heritage serves as a milestone as we embark on our future journey to achieve Progress for Humanity. I hope the ‘PONY, the timeless’ exhibition and the RETRACE Series will be an opportunity for people to reminisce about the past and take inspiration for the future.”
The exhibition opened on June 7 with various VIP guests and will be open to members of the public until August 6.
Hyundai’s Commitment to Progress for Humanity
Hyundai’s commitment to progress for humanity is evident in its recent announcement of another $4.3 billion battery plant in Georgia.

The plant will produce battery cells for electric vehicles and is part of Hyundai’s plan to become a leader in the global EV market.

Hyundai’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its EVs and battery production. The company has also set a goal of reducing its carbon emissions by 75% by 2040 and has implemented various initiatives to achieve this goal, including the use of renewable energy and the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology.
