Hyundai HCD6 Concept Roadster Set to Debut at Chicago Auto Show

    FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 29 Hyundai's newest concept
vehicle, the exciting new HCD6 roadster, will make its world debut during
press days at the Chicago Auto Show February 7.  Dubbed an affordable exotic,
the two-seat, mid-engine Hyundai HCD6 was styled at the Hyundai California
Design Studio and is targeted at both young buyers and baby boomers alike
-- drivers who enjoy open air motoring.
    Exterior styling features on the HCD6 include body sides shaped to direct
air to the engine compartment, a single roll bar integrated into the center
console, floating carbon-fiber bumpers, 3-stage DuPont Mysteria paint system,
see-through engine cover and a unique lighting system with driving lights that
turn with the wheels.  Hyundai's concept roadster is powered by a 2.7-liter
DOHC V6 engine and matched to a six-speed manual transmission.
