FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. The Hyundai exhibit at the New York International Auto Show features three headliners: the two-seat HCD6 concept car, the Hyundai LZ450 luxury sedan, and the all-new Hyundai Elantra GT five-door sedan. These three vehicles and the entire value-packed U.S. Hyundai model lineup are on display at the Hyundai exhibit at the 2001 New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from April 13 to April 22.
The Hyundai HCD6 is a mid-engine two-seat roadster concept car designed by the Hyundai California Design studio. Powered by a 2.7-liter DOHC V6 engine matched to a six-speed manual transmission, the HCD6 showcases many unique features including floating, detached front and rear bumpers, a see-through engine cover and three-stage paint system that changes from dark purple to teal, based on the viewing angle. The entire sculpted side of the HCD6 is designed as an air intake to duct cool air to the engine compartment.
The Hyundai LZ450 luxury sedan is the largest, most luxurious sedan in the Hyundai line up. This vehicle is currently sold only in the Asian market, but is being displayed in car show form to gauge the reaction of U.S. consumers. The LZ450 features premium amenities, and is powered by a sophisticated DOHC 4.5-liter aluminum V8 engine. Its display in New York demonstrates Hyundai's ability to design and craft a full line of automobiles ranging from small cars to premium luxury sedans.
