Hyundai HCD6

The Hyundai HCD6 was a two-seat roadster concept car that Hyundai showed in 2001. It was styled at the Hyundai California Design studio in Fountain Valley, California, and made its world debut at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2001, where Hyundai described it as an affordable exotic car. The car had detached, floating carbon fibre bumpers at the front and rear, a clear see-through engine cover and a deeply sculpted side air intake. Its cockpit was kept simple, with a single roll bar rising from the centre console and Lexalite acrylic panels, and its shapes were inspired by windsurfing and kite flying. The French Wikipedia article gives it a V6 engine of 218 horsepower. Hyundai said at the time that it had no plans to build a production version, although styling ideas from the HCD6 might appear in later production cars.
