The Hyundai NINE concept has been designed by Jeesoo Kim and Yunsik Kim as a vehicle for the South Korean automotive brand that looks to the future as it takes inspiration from the past.
The vehicle is powered by an electric motor for an emissions-free driving experience and features the silhouette of a retro 1980s sports car. This includes aspects of wagon-style vehicles and sports cars, while an attention to a streamlined design is put front and center to make the car applicable to modern drivers.
The Hyundai NINE concept is finished with a wraparound headlight and taillight to further enhance the futuristic style of the car, while side mirrors are replaced with pop-out cameras for monitoring traffic.
