At the New York International Auto Show, the Genesis Essentia concept was showcased as an all-electric, high-performance vehicle that redefines "athletic elegance."
As a whole, the concept car boasts an efficient, aerodynamic form with a distinctive transparent hood. This design feature provides a look into the dynamically designed interior of the vehicle, which features a number of artfully 3D-printed components throughout the cockpit. One such standout element is the seat belt slots, which are "composed of glass pearl finished/treated aluminum and polished aluminum." On top of offering aesthetically stunning details, 3D printing plays a vital role in streamlining the manufacturing process.
The concept Genesis Essentia car also boasts high-tech features such as biometric facial recognition and fingerprint control software for accessing the car's butterfly doors.
