The Hyundai HDN-9 hall of Seoul Motor Show foreshadows the future Genesis Coupe

Hyundai introduced the Hyundai HDN-9 Concept at the Seoul Motor Show this week. This ninth brand concept car (hence the name of HDN-9) prefigures the future Hyundai Genesis Coupe. It measures 4.69 m long with a wheelbase of 2,860 mm, 1.89 m wide and 1.34 m high.

Their dramatic design is an evolution of the brand’s stylistic language “Fluidic Sculpture”, the new aesthetic code ” Spiral Sculpture “makes extensive use of” dynamic spiral shapes and distinctive”. Fluid or spiral, is in the eye through the beholder, but it is clear that the car is impressive, but reminds me of a Lexus LF-LC would have abused anabolic.
Design highlights the vertical opening doors, the hexagonal grille and hood that has a very long 3.3-liter V6 direct injection turbo develops 370 hp. The seats are made ​​of a fabric that changes color depending on the angle at which we see them. Tires are a huge so great, as usual in the concept cars, are 22 inches and made ​​of an alloy including carbon fiber.

With the Hyundai HDN-9, Hyundai aims high, very high. While the United States has some acceptance Hyundai Genesis is not the case in Europe where sales are limited, despite being a fun car to drive. The clientele is still very sensitive to your car logo shines on the grille or hood. May eventually lead to design another model, smaller and more affordable.
