Hyundai Concept Genesis Coupe wins production preview CotY award
Hyundai's Concept Genesis Coupe bags an award even before it's out on production
Last week at the Automotive Hall of Fame, the South East Automotive Media Organization (SEAMO) rewarded the Hyundai Genesis Concept with the best preview vehicle of the year award.
Juror Kevin Kelly of Automotive Design & Production, praised the 306bhp Korean concept car for its sporty, aggressive and modern features without trying to copy the American muscle car. He said, “The Concept Genesis Coupe doesn’t try to be a muscle car in the vein of the American concept - it busts through those doors to create something that’s a combination of sport and a bit of luxury that will still appeal to those who want power.”
To follow up, Joel Piaskowski, chief designer at Hyundai's North American Design Center said, "Our design objective for the concept was to create a ‘Tuner’ version of the production car.”
The 'Tuner' feature Piaskowski mentioned includes the usage of carbon fiber hood, roof panels and lower valence panels.
