Hyundai Blue Will Concept – The Will to be All Electric
Hyundai introduced their Blue Will Concept at the 2010 North American International Auto Show – and it does indeed have the “will” to become a great all electric vehicle from this GM-owned Korean auto maker. Only in early concept stages right now, we doubt many of the futuristic ideas thrown into Blue Will have a chance in heck of seeing production phase.
In fact, all Hyundai is missing is a sensory controlled auto cleaning kitchen sink. The 100-mile-per charge Hyundai EV is powered by a 1.6L direct-injected 4-cylinder mated to 100kw electric-motor. Pretty snazzy for an electric ride.
After showing us the BLUE-WILL Concept at the Seoul Motor Show last year, Hyundai North America debuted Blue Will in Detroit and added it“explores future design direction of compact cars.”
What really catches out attention is their “3rd Generation” rechargeable batteries – which are constructed to fit into any shape/section of the car, unlike older gens where the car needs to be molded around the battery. Still, Blue Will looks like a Prius/Insight – hopefully its outer shell will transform before production.
For now, the Hyundai Blue Will concept is only making rounds at auto shows. Hyundai says that it “demonstrates to eco-conscious car buyers everywhere that Hyundai has practical hybrid solutions that will appear on the next generation of vehicles.” I guess we’ll see.
The Blue Will also comes with an interior compartment and instrument panel that’s puts the Jetsons hover cars to shame. An “organic” dash can be transformed to have clusters rearranged to your preference, it even has a touch screen shifter! A roof-mounted solar panel, which conforms to the glass panoramic dome, keeps an interior climate control system operational.
GM still has there head on backwards. Any cars that STILL has to use gas is NOT for me, or for many others. GM doesn’t care. It likes its GAS ENGINES. We will NEVER buy one.
