Hyundai RB Concept at Moscow Motor Show

By Brett Davis |

This Hyundai RB Concept is said to be a special vehicle developed especially for the Russian market and, sources say, these images replicate how the production version will eventually look.

Said to be powered by two new ‘Gamma’ engines including a 1.6-litre twin cam four cylinder and a 1.4-litre of matching configuration, the car will also come equipped with a constantly variable transmission.

In a recent Hyundai press release, the company has taken big strides in creating a car that looks and feels very modern, sophisticated and dynamic. Phrases such as ‘orchid strokes’ and ‘fluidic sculpture’ are used to describe the car’s design philosophy. And we must admit, it does look very good.

Production of the car is scheduled to start at Hyundai’s plant in Saint Petersburg, Russia (Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Russia) in January 2011, and will go on sale in Russia during the first half of 2011.

    It looks like a shrunken i45.

  • Robert

    It gels very well and looks way cool (better then whats in market currently)!!!!!

    Lets hope plastics are soft to touch & not edgy roughness, gearbox is slick, suspension is truly sorted to suit Downunder and seat squabs offer thigh support (as too many korean cars have flat seat and as soon as you go around a corner you move as seat does not lock you in with support)

  • Robert
