Default Hyundai Veloster concept & i-Blue concept



Hyundai Veloster concept
Styled at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre at Namyang, the Veloster coupe is the third in a series of daring concept cars to be developed by the company's central styling studio in Korea.
The Veloster name, a combination of velocity and roadster, evokes the characteristics of a sporty two-plus-two. A panoramic glass roof and other futuristic styling cues help project a high-tech image. Designed to cater to the tastes of the so-called Y-generation, Veloster combines simple, iconic design with good value and robust construction.
"With Veloster, we wanted to try something really different. We're keenly aware that we need radically new products for the Y-generation, the first-time buyer in their twenties," said Oh Suk-Geun, Hyundai's vice president of design. "This is really a bold new direction."

Hyundai i-Blue concept
Hyundai will reveal its i-Blue concept in Frankfurt, keeping with this year's show theme of sustainability and climate protection. The i-Blue is claimed to be a significant step towards commercialisation of hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, with Hyundai making strides to achieve mass production using the technology within the next decade.
The i-Blue is a new hydrogen-powered, zero-emission D-segment 2+2 crossover utility vehicle concept that was developed at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre in Chiba, Japan. The all-new platform is tailored to use Hyundai's third-generation fuel cell technology, currently being developed at the company's Eco-Technology Research Institute in Mabuk, Korea.
"The i-Blue is Hyundai's first-ever model designed from the ground up to incorporate fuel cell technology, marking a tremendous leap forward for our R&D program," said Dr Hyun-Soon Lee, President of Research and Development. "Our engineering team has successfully designed a more compact fuel cell vehicle, while still realising the safety, comfort, convenience and driving range of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle."

I like the Veloster. . . I'd change the name, and give a ridiculous engine. It would sell. Make it a GTI competitor, but price it to compete with Scion. . .
