“The Hyundai NFT universe will extend the Hyundai brand experience, especially with MZ generation, in a completely new way, further reinforcing our commitment to innovation in both the real world and in the Metaverse. We are extremely excited to introduce “Metamobility” through our own NFTs and start this journey with “Meta Kongz.”

Popular car brands already issued NFT tokens but these collectibles were luxury automobiles that were created virtually and sold to certain collectors.

The CEO at Velas, Farhan Shagulyamov described Ferrari as an icon of excellence and opined that the collaboration came as a natural move. The Scuderia Ferrari racing division is the most successful team in Formula 1 and the NFTs were expected to create a strong enthusiasm among the fan base. McLaren Racing joined the craze by launching a digital art collection on Tezos and the first NFT drop featured different parts of a Formula 1 race which the collectors were able to purchase.
