Hyundai Blue2 (Blue-square) fuel cell concept introduced at Seoul Motor Show

Hyundai is revealing its new Blue2 (pronounced: "Blue square") fuel-cell concept car at Seoul Motor Showthe Blue2. Hyundai calls the Blue2's exterior design philosophy 'Intersected Flow,' incorporating both innovative and dynamic design elements.

Notice the LED screen panels at the front and rear – they display messages about the vehicle's condition. Like many new concepts, conventional door mirrors have been replaced with cameras, and the car even features a welcome system that recognizes the driver and automatically opens the door.

The big news for the Blue2 is its hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain, which delivers a stack power of about 120 horsepower and will return about 34.9 kilometers per liter – that's 82.1 miles per gallon when converted to the U.S. cycle. The Blue2 is fitted with low-rolling-resistance tires and uses an extremely aerodynamic shape in an effort to reduce drag to aid overall efficiency.

Things are just as high-tech inside the cabin, where the Blue2 uses a combined center cluster and fascia, using an organic LED monitor and ultra-light tempered glass to display vital information. There are even seat-mounted entertainment holders that house things like Apple iPad tablets and other tablet devises, as well. Source: Autoblog
