    2200 hp? Must be 0-60 in 1.1 secs? But why? I can tell you that 3 secs is borderline physically disorienting.....hows that gonna work with a latte in your other hand?
    All that aside, the look is not terrible, tho a bit like a Ferrari already done, cleaner than some of the competition (other than still not figuring out a decent "grille" for an EV).....
    Maybe we've simply exhausted the mid-engine supercar look.....[time to return to the doorstop?]

    The 1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Roadster GS looks like it's ready to assist a superhero in fighting crime. Maybe someone not as dark or tortured as Batman though.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    It reminds me of the Maserati MC20... at least from the front.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Another computer generated EV fantasy car that'll never be build. "place your deposits now lads and we'll deliver the car in 2025. Or 2030. Or not, when we go bankrupt and run away with all your money".

    Used to be Chevy v8 powered fantasy cars but typically they had to build an actual concept car (exterior, anyways) as the computer generation wasn't that good yet.

    GENESIS X SPEEDIUM COUPE, A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
    Home/NEWS/GENESIS X SPEEDIUM COUPE, A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE

    Genesis, the Hyundai Group’s premium brand, unveiled the X Speedium Coupe at Genesis House, a cultural space located in the heart of the Big Apple’s Meatpacking District. The concept car incorporates the Genesis DNA (Bold, Progressive, Distinctly Korean), while anticipating the brand’s next generation of electric vehicles.

    The Genesis X Speedium Coupe was born from a “freestyle” design exercise based on the Genesis X Concept led by Luc Donckerwolke, Genesis Chief Creative Officer. The name Speedium was inspired by the passion for motorsports felt by Genesis designers after a track experience. The name also encapsulates Genesis’ belief that the emotional value of driving will remain strong in the age of electrification.

    “This car shows Genesis’ journey towards our styling future for in the world of electric cars,” says Luc Donckerwolke. “This is not a show car – it is a glimpse into our future plans.” At the front, the Two Lines lights, now a Genesis styling signature, have evolved into a full-width element. From an overhead perspective, the hourglass silhouette highlights the car’s passion and character. The sinuous, sensuous shape accentuates the wheel arches, creating a muscular presence.

    Viewed from the side, the parabolic line that extends from the front to the rear of the car maintains a certain tension in the design as a car with rather classic proportions would. The design culminates in an aerodynamic look that exudes an understated elegance. The elliptical-shaped tail balances the look for a visually engaging tension between convex and concave surfaces at the rear. V-shaped brake lights interrupt the circular shape producing a contrast typical of Genesis vehicles. “It’s not about making the design elements compete with each other, but orchestrating the elements so that they complement and respect each other,” Donckerwolke concludes.

    Yet another Hyundai 'hit'.

    So very clean. However, I had to look up the definition of "speedium."

    All the best,

    It's like BMW have spent the last 10 years trying to make cars that look jarring to the eye in order to stand out. This design feels like the culmination of that effort.

    I used to really like BMW.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    For me they've lost the plot. Totally confused.

    Everything looks so bland from the "A" pillar back. Are they trying NOT to offend anyone?
