Hyundai has unveiled the Vision G Concept Coupe at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Billed as Hyundai’s inspiration for its "family of future premium products that promise luxury, performance and style with the value and responsibility," the Vision G Concept Coupe is a stylish Genesis Coupe which features a prominent grille that is flanked by sweptback headlights. We can also see a long hood, a high beltline and massive alloy wheels. The concept also has a dynamic greenhouse, a stylish roofline, a dual exhaust system and a trunk with an integrated spoiler.

The four seat interior is undeniably luxurious as it features premium leather seats, wood trim and gold accents. Drivers will also find a three-spoke steering wheel, digital displays and a Lexicon audio system.

Hyundai was coy on performance specifications but confirmed the concept is powered by a 5.0-liter Tau V8 engine that produces 420 bhp (425 PS / 313 kW) and 383 lb-ft (518 Nm) of torque.

Hyundai Vision G Concept
Hyundai Motor America revealed the "Vision G" Concept Coupe at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The concept was described as Hyundai's inspiration for its family of future premium products that promise luxury, performance and style with the value and responsibility that is the foundation of Hyundai's brand.

"The concept was designed with coordinated input from Hyundai design studios around the world, but was led by our team here in the U.S.," said Peter Schreyer, Hyundai's president and chief design officer. "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."

During the design process, Hyundai's team of designers centered their work on the notion of "chivalry" - a word they felt best defined the idea that one doesn't need to shout to be noticed and respected. "Vision G" is purposefully understated, despite its size and dramatic lines. One example of this respectful luxury - and a nod to the self-sufficiency of the driver - is a technology that automatically opens the door as if being opened by a valet.

The exterior styling of the concept is highlighted by a long hood, high-beltline and a cabin that presents a slingshot-like appearance. "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 underlying idea of respectful luxury flows into the interior, underscored by its clarity and simplicity. No glaring examples of luxury, but rather elegant lines and finishes.

The heart of "Vision G" is the award-winning 5.0-liter Tau V8 engine producing 420 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 383 lb. ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm. The Tau V8 engine family has been named to Ward's prestigious Ten Best Engines list three times. With high-pressure direct injection for impressive power, low emissions and superb efficiency, this latest version of the Tau V8 benefits from an optimized intake runner length, enhanced timing chain for reduced friction and NVH, low-torque exhaust manifold, increased compression ratio and upgraded multiple-injection mapping. These enhancements combine to produce a flatter torque curve at lower rpm for even better driveability.

Seat design similar to the S -class , the display console was also probably inspired by the concept of S Coupe.

Is it me, or this is the furthest from a Huyndai, a Huyndai concept can be?

It can be anything, except for a Huyndai!

It looks a bit overweight...chunky if you will.

The proportions just aren't there.

The ahem hockey stick breather is something that is being evaluated in the proposals for the new BMW 6er. An evolution of the bow line of today's car but incorporating the breather for EfficientDynamics.

It looks pretty lumpy.

The interior is like a mash of S-class and Audi Prologue.

Not even the most iconic brands gets left alone. Aston rip-off if you ask me. BUT it's NOT a Aston
