    Hyundai is giving us a sneak peak at a new concept that will be shown at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show. Called the HND-9, this concept could give us a preview of what the next Genesis coupe looks like.

    The sketches show the HND-9 pulling the dramatic card out with an Aston Martin-esq front end and large rear haunches. There is also a set of gullwing doors.

    Power comes from a direct-injection, turbocharged 3.3L V6 engine making 365 horsepower. That's mated to a eight-speed automatic and puts the power to the rear-wheels.

    We'll have more details when the HND-9 comes out next week.

    Luxury Sports Coupe Concept HND-9

    - The HND-9 hints at Hyundai's next-generation luxury sports coupe design

    - More details to be revealed at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show

    March 21, 2013 – Hyundai Motor Company, the fastest-growing automaker by brand, today unveiled exterior renderings of the 'HND-9', its latest luxury sports coupe concept.

    The 'HND-9' represents an evolution of Hyundai's fluidic sculpture design philosophy. The ninth concept model developed by Hyundai Motor Group's R&D Center in Namyang, Korea, the HND-9 features sophisticated details in every design element, reinforcing a premium look.

    In particular, the HND-9, with its dramatic long hood and wheelbase, is a modern reinterpretation of the elegant image of a classic premium sports coupe.

    Fluidic yet sleek character lines that stretch from headlamp to trunk, voluminous, powerful car body and a striking, wide hexagonal-shaped radiator grille underscore the high performance image of the concept.

    Furthermore, butterfly doors, spiral-shaped lines connected to the headlamp, softly glistening silver coating, dual twin muffler and uniquely designed head and rear lamps give the car a sleek futuristic look.

    As a rear-wheel drive, high-performance sports coupe concept, HND-9 is equipped with 3.3- liter turbo GDi engine and 8-speed auto transmission, delivering maximum output of 370ps.

    The HND-9 is set to make its world debut during Hyundai's press conference on March 28 at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show. More details of the concept's design and its cutting-edge technologies will be revealed at the show.

      I randomly think of and daydream about New York City, with its 5 boroughs and abutting areas, often.

      Ding - ding - ding I've been to Hot Springs, Arkansas.  What a cool place with an interesting history, complete with gangsters.  There's a scenic viewpoint you can drive up to for a view over the town as well as that other tower in the town you can go to the top of for a 360 degree view for a little bit of coin. It was on a Missouri trip that looped into and out of STL during the pandemic and fall colors.  I wasn't expecting Arkansas to be as beautiful as it is.  I came into its NW border from south of Branson, MO.  Eureka Springs was a cool hippie-dippy town with the usual coffeehouses and gift shops.  It's the location of the nondenominational architecturally unique Throrncrown Chapel. Stunning places and views at Mount Magazine State Park as well as a precipice you have to drive down a graded dirt road to get to its parking lot:  Hawksbill Crag.  I was going to turn back, but I'm glad I went ahead with it. Very nice photo of you two!

      Quick Mopar photo, 1970 Roadrunner.    Faculty Jazz concert at the university where I work.    Lastly, spinning vinyl on my Linn turntable. Thanks for letting me share photos of what I have been up to!   Ohhh, and Road tripping with this gang, the debate team I coach. Awkwardly getting ready to have a photo taken after a tournament, Detroit.
