Hyundai 2025 Vision Gran Turismo: a new direction?

 Hyundai. A manufacturer which has made a name in family cars which are affordable. But do we imagine Hyundai ever making a performance car? Not necessarily. But now, it seems, Hyundai want to. This car is the latest concept, a car which appears to be vaguely similar to the upcoming Bugatti hyper car. Despite being a concept, this car seems to convey an attitude of willingness to enter the performance sector. 

Well, for starters this car is the first to feature a mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell system, which means zero-emissions. Along with the fuel cell is 4 electric motors, one for each wheel. Combined power output (the fuel cell-and supercapacitors- and the motors) is 859BHP. Also making an appearance is regenerative braking , which alone can generate 198BHP. And through the use of a carbon monoquethe overall weight of the thing is 972KG, which is very impressive for a fuel cell car. Furthermore, this low weight plus high horsepower leads to a shocking power to weight ratio: 898BHP/tonne, to be exact.  Which leads me to think that this will never reach the road, especially looking how it does in the pictures. 

So. Is this a glimpse of a high performance future from Hyundai, or simply a vision of what they could do. The figures this car generates seems to me to suggest that a demonstration of might is all this car is. But then again I haven't been able to rid myself of the image of the Hyundai Creta while writing this.
