Hyundai's HCD-14 Concept Hints at the Design of the 2014 Genesis Sedan

New Hyundai Veloster Alpine Concept Heading to the SEMA Show

The second Veloster concept car getting ready to make its way to Hyundai's SEMA Show booth at the end of October is named "Alpine", and like the Genesis Coupe R-Track Study, it too was born from the collaborative efforts of the Korean automaker's US division and ARK Performance.

The Veloster Alpine is not as racy as Hyundai's own 400Hp Veloster "Velocity" project, with ARK Performance stating that the car was designed to appeal to mountain sports enthusiasts - though, we won't blame you if you don't see this from the teaser image...
