Hyundai reveals HND-9 for Seoul Motor Show

Hyundai revealed renderings on Thursday of the HND-9, a luxury sports coupe coming to the 2013 Seoul Motor Show at the end of this month. The styling could preview the next Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Hyundai says the HND-9 represents an evolution of Hyundai's fluidic sculpture design philosophy. It's the ninth concept designed by Hyundai Motor Group's R&D Center in Korea, hence the name.

The first thing we picked up on is the butterfly doors, which we highly doubt will make it to production. The hood looks even longer than that of the Genesis and more angular at the same time. Comically huge wheels are wrapped in rubberband tires.

The rear-drive concept is powered by a 3.3-liter turbocharged, direct-injected V6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Output is rated at 365 hp.

We'll have more details at the end of this month.
