Hyundai eschews hybrids in Tokyo and unveils V8-powered crossover

Posted Oct 19, 2005, 2:30 AM ET by John Neff




Props go to Hyundai for coming up with a creative way to make a splash at this year’s Tokyo Auto Show: debut a new V8 instead of a hybrid. While many other automakers will probably be showing off their new hybrid drivetrains, Hyundai plopped its new 4.6L V8 destined for the next gen Santa Fe into a crossover concept called the Neos III and called it a day. According to Scoop, the Neos III also features an adaptive front lighting system, infrared night-vision, a heads-up display and trackball controller in lieu of standard HVAC controls.

I don't like that interior. Talk about a stain magnet... Plus you'd have to sheild your eyes from it while driving down the road on a sunny day. :helpless:

I was reading in the new motor trend, hyundai have a new car that looks exactly like the s class from inside. It supposedly had the v8 in it. It was really nice looking from inside and out but wasnt that car.

That might be the new prototype for their upcoming ultra status-luxury car that will be a seperate division to gain the company status. I had a thread on that I started somewhere..
