Prophecy

Hyundai has unveiled a new electric concept car called the Prophecy that, frankly, looks like a Porsche 911 and a Model 3 were smashed together and cloaked in obsidian. It’s simply a design object meant to give people an idea of what Hyundai sees as one possible future for its electric vehicles.

The interior of the Prophecy doesn’t feature a steering wheel, as Hyundai is imagining that this car would feature a high level of autonomy. Instead, there are two “joysticks” — one in the center console and one in the driver’s side door — that drivers can “pivot left and right” to control the vehicle.

Hyundai says the Prophecy windows can't be opened because it uses an air filtration system to keep particulate levels inside the car nice and low. When the system detects any nastiness in the car, it pumps in fresh air from outside, filters it for purity then circulates it around the cabin.

The company’s ‘E-GMP’ (that’s ‘Electric Global Modular Platform’, FYI) setup is its first dedicated EV platform. By keeping the batteries and motors in a skateboard structure beneath the body, it gives occupants more space, and the designers total freedom to do pretty much whatever they want.

More cars should have tartan upholstery. And not just on the seats – the Prophecy’s nod to Scotland extends to the roof-lining.
