Hyundai have used the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to unveil their Vision G concept coupe.
The Vision G Concept Coupe was designed to show the future of where Hyundai wants to take their premium cars. Without being loud and over the top Hyundai wanted a concept that was understated.
“The concept was designed with coordinated input from Hyundai design studios around the world, but was led by our team here in the U.S.,” said Peter Schreyer, Hyundai’s president and chief design officer. “The design is our interpretation of the idea that Hyundai breathes into all of its vehicles – a DNA that balances design and performance with the idea that you don’t need to be over the top in terms of glitz and stereotypical luxury cues.”
The exterior styling of the concept is highlighted by a long hood, high-beltline and a cabin that presents a slingshot-like appearance. “In keeping with a design that speaks to the owner rather than ‘the spectators’ who might see the car on the road, Vision G appears dynamic and in constant motion,” said Christopher Chapman, head of Hyundai’s U.S. design centre and leader of the coupe’s design team. “After all – and if all is right in the world – the only time an owner sees the exterior of the car is when it’s standing still.”
The Vision G Concept is powered by 5.0-litre Tau V8 engine producing 312kW at 6,000 rpm and 519Nm at 5,000 rpm, the same engine found the in the brands luxury model the Genesis.
Hyundai America will next show the car at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, 16 August in Monterey, California.
