An interview with Jim Trainor, Hyundai's National Manager of Product Public Relations about the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept at Pebble Beach Concept Lawn.


The HCD-14 Genesis conveys an evolution of fluidic sculpture design language with more precision than previous iterations. Detailed craftsmanship quality is conveyed via gemstone-like design surfaces. From the side view silhouette, classic rear-drive sport sedan proportions are conveyed by an extended dash-to-axle length, short overhangs, large-diameter wheels, sharply-tapered greenhouse, and short rear deck. Large wheels were developed from a mix of premium lightweight alloys with carbon fiber surrounding the voided areas of the wheel design.
