Like flow, your period…yeah, you don’t get it. But what’s in a name, anyhow? And when you’re trying to impress fans at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show car companies go all out. The i-flow will probably never see a production phase, but it is a great design study, as well as practice in technological expression.

The vehicle will point to a new D-segment family car Hyundai hopes they can launch in 2011. Its “fluid” design, as Hyundai states, is very aerodynamic while at the same time aspiring to the new coupe-saloon trend currently seen in a number of European premium cars.

Hyundai’s i-flow has a powertrain consisting of a 1.7-liter diesel engine with two-stage turbocharging linked to a Lithium Ion-Polymer battery. It is also the auto make’s first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain, and is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
