It's driving me crazy. I can't put my finger on it, but a late 80's/90's GM-something had a very similar dash and central console. Can anyone put it together? I want to say it was a Pontiac or Buick model...
It at least sounds like Genesis is trying to put this into production.
Donckerwolke wouldn’t confirm the underpinnings of these concepts. He did tell TechCrunch: “We are working with the right partners to get the right amount of of performance, which will be in my opinion adequate performance to fit this segment.”
He continued to say that the X Convertible will “open up a new, uh, let’s say base of platform, a new platform and modular system.” Donckerwolke declined to elaborate.
Genesis continues to push the design forward, as Donckerwolke mentioned, “Normally you go to you create something and you have to limit your design to the most common denominator,” he said. “We don’t have this, we, we talk to our internal suppliers and we say, we need those seats. We need those lights. And this is, this is basically allowing us to push the boundaries a lot. And that’s basically what’s allowing us to create cars like this.”
Months ago, they also hinted that it would share the same platform as the Hyundai Vision 74.
But the really clever part is that the N Vision 74 wouldn't be an orphan inside Hyundai. The car has the same wheelbase as the Genesis X Speedium concept, insiders say with a smile that leaves you to draw your own conclusions. And, they add, we can expect to see another concept that could also conceivably be part of the same vehicle family as N Vision 74 and X Speedium."We would like to make this car as soon as possible," N brand management team department head Joonwoo Park says. And he and his colleagues are doing their damnedest to make it happen.
I'll only agree with this when I see it with the top up. This concept does not appear to address where the convertible top goes when it's down, unless it somehow folds like an accordion, into the trunk.
