Hyundai has just unveiled the HCD-16 “Vision G” coupe concept at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Hyundai says that the concept previews the inspiration for its future premium products, but stops short of saying if it previews the next-generation Genesis Coupe.

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,” said Peter Schreyer, Hyundai’s president and chief design officer.
Even with its dramatic curvaceous lines and long hood, Hyundai says that the concept was designed to be understated. “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 center 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” is powered by a 5.0L V8 that generates 420 horsepower and 383 lb-ft. of torque. It will have it’s public debut this weekend at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, August 16 in Monterey, California.
