Hyundai concept unveiled

If you have ever wondered what would happen is Hyundai turned its hand to motorcycles, this could be the result, according to designer Min Seong Kim.

The concept, designed on behalf of the South Korean manufacturer, is made of material that is designed to stretch and contract just like the muscles in the human body, enabling steering without any kind of electronic assistance. The idea is that when turning a corner, the entire body relaxes so that it can smoothly corner, and when accelerating, it contracts to form a rigid body.

There’s a cage around the rider, apparently to aid in protection, although this is likely to hinder visibility, and the six cylinder engine underneath the rider makes it clear who is powering this machine, even if the logo on the rider’s leathers suggests that it may be someone else.
