Yes, the name of the concept car is intended to remind of the experimental model Hyundai Pony Coupe Concept, which appeared in 1974 — 45 years ago. In addition, the index 45 speaks of the body edges with 45-degree angles.
The car is based on a lightweight monocoque, made in the style of 1920s aircraft. The car has no central pillar, and the rear doors open against the direction of travel for the convenience of passengers getting in and out.
Hyundai characterizes the 45 EV concept car as a "symbolic starting point in the development of the design of future electric vehicles of the brand." Finally, the experimental car will be intended to demonstrate the development of the corporate stylistic direction Sensuous Sportiness — "Emotional Sportiness."
As for the interior, the designers made it in a minimalist style, since the new product received an automatic control system. Natural wood, fabric, and leather were used in the interior design. The company noted that multimedia control can be carried out using a "projection interface."
