Hyundai & Prada to create three special edition Genesis Sedans

Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea’s largest automaker, and Prada, one of the world’s leading brands in

the luxury goods industry, will collaborate to create three special edition Genesis sedans that will combine

the best technology and industrial design with quality materials, craftsmanship and an innovative new

approach aimed at creating a new driving experience.

One car will be unveiled at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show and then displayed at Hyundai Motor’s headquarters in

Seoul, while the other two will be auctioned at the Prada Transformer, a unique, temporary building that

will accommodate a range of different art, cinema, culture and fashion events from March to July 2009. The

proceeds will be donated to a charity under the joint Hyundai Motor Company - Prada Transformer name.

Prada’s design team will create three special edition Genesis sedans in Italy over a four month period,

working closely with Hyundai Motor’s engineers and own designers, using the house’s signature materials.

"We’ve made a name for ourselves as a quality automaker, and are now focusing on raising our brand image,"

said James Choi, Hyundai Motor’s President of International Sales. "We are extremely delighted that Prada,

one of the best and most innovative luxury goods brands, has agreed to work with us and infuse their

creative energy into our products."

Hyundai, which leaped into the luxury car segment this year with its new rear-wheel drive V6 and V8 sedan

Genesis, is opening its doors wide open to innovative and creative ideas from the world’s best. The special

edition project will lay the foundation for future cooperation between the Korean automaker and other

specially-selected partners.
