rmc523 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/03/hyundai-prophecy-concept-electric-car/ Quote Hyundai is on a quest to extract complexity from its design department in order to make its cars purer and more minimalist. It introduced a concept named Prophecy to illustrate the direction it will take future electric models in. The company calls its next design language Optimistic Futurism, and it explained its aim is to "forge an emotional connection between humans and automobiles." We could easily argue this link was established over 100 years ago, but that's not the purpose of this piece. Back to the road: the Prophecy stands out as a swoopy, low-slung sedan that breaks all ties with current members of the Hyundai range. Its low, grille-less front end wears pixel-like headlights reminiscent of the 45 concept unveiled in 2019, and its roof line is steep enough to earn the fastback label. It flows into a rear end characterized by broad shoulders, a spoiler, and a wide panel made up of LEDs. Looks like a melted bar of soap to me.
