  Hyundai presented a glimpse of its design future at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit with unveiling of its HCD-14 Genesis concept
• 
  The luxury concept not only hints at the automaker’s future premium vehicles but also serves at a platform to showcase its latest technologies such as eye-tracking and gesture-based controls
• 
  The HCD-14 Genesis is powered by a 5.0 V8 mated to a eight-speed auto.
• 
  The concept uses optical recognition to identify the driver and start the vehicle. The model has ceramic-lined exhausts tuned for power and “a deep baritone note.
• 
  Tak Uk Im, chief operating officer and head of Hyundai international operations division in Seoul, said: “Hyundai’s Genesis and Equus models are now recognised as serious contenders in the global luxury market.
• 
  The HCD-14 Genesis builds on the automaker's fluidic designs with its new “liquid-metal” design language. At the front it shows a bold fascia surround and brushed metal grille surfaces
• 
  The corners of the boot lid incorporate heat extractor accents. From the side, it appears as a classic rear-drive sport sedan reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz CLS
• 
  Its sleek and lightweight silhouette does not punish the wind, but uses fluidic precision with dramatic surfacing that conveys natural restraint
• 
  Using driver eye-tracking and 3D hand-gesture recognition, the vehicle is able to recognise driver commands without the need for manual controls
