Frankfurt Preview: Hyundai i-Blue Fuel cell concept
Filed under: Hydrogen, Hyundai, Frankfurt Motor Show
Hyundai will be showing a new smaller 2+2 crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks. They are using the new i-Blue to showcase their latest fuel cell technology which the Korean company is trying to move toward commercialization. Hyundai wants to have the new powertrain in dealerships within a decade.
The i-Blue borrows some styling cues from the Genesis concept that appeared at the New York Auto Show, including the narrow headlamps and the grille design. The lamps follow the current trend of being pulled back over the top edge of the fenders. The vehicle was developed in Japan at Hyundai's Chiba Design and Technical Center while the fuel cell stack was developed in Korea. This will be Hyundai's first ground-up fuel cell vehicle rather than a modified production vehicle.

The door cut lines are lame. Too straight and perpendicular. Looks like slices on a loaf of bread.

What's wrong with bread.. it's organic.. and anything organic.. has got to be green!!. And a car that is green fine by me..!!. ha ha.. Just kidding.. you're right.. hopefully they add a few curves into the door sills.. or something.. I would like to see what the finished product reveals... hopefully it doesn't look like the Kia Rondo.. the tire/wheel combo is personally not proportional to the body.. they look to small for teh car..or.. . CUV.. or Cross over. or whatever it wants to think it is.. ha ha
