At the Geneva International Motor Show today, Hyundai Motor Co. andGE Plastics提出了Qarmaq，这是跨界轿跑车领域的第一个。Qarmaq是现代技术的先进技术示范工具（ATDV），它以创新的“弹性阵线*”领导的30多种环境进步技术展示了一种创新的解决方案，这是一种创新的解决方案，可以帮助降低交叉公用工具（CUV）行人碰撞的严重伤害风险。
Qarmaq在Russelsheim的现代汽车欧洲设计和技术中心设计，并与GE Plastics密切合作，开发并验证了30多种关键技术，这些技术将被选择地纳入现代汽车的新型号，将从2008 - 2014年开始推出。
"At Hyundai, we believe in innovation for humanity, and QarmaQ demonstrates our commitment to safety innovation and our determination to bring more environmentally responsible technologies to the market," said Dr. Kwon Moon-Shik, Hyundai Motor's vice president of Advanced Technology. "We chose to partner with GE Plastics because of their commitment to the environment and their wide range of innovative materials and technical capabilities. Technologies from QarmaQ will provide Hyundai owners with a safer, more environmentally responsible car and a better driving experience."
QarmaQ is lighter, stronger and more economical than any current production CUV in its class. It also offers significant recycling advantages both in construction and eventual disassembly. In short, it is a viable and realistic glimpse of the future potential of personal automotive transport.
Pedestrian Safety
The issue of pedestrian safety is a growing one. In the EU, one-fifth of all traffic fatalities - 7,000 people per year - are pedestrians hit by a vehicle. In densely populated Korea, the rate is as high as 39 percent. QarmaQ's Elastic Front safety system, which encompasses the whole front end of the vehicle, is arguably the world's first global pedestrian protection solution on a CUV. Three energy-absorbing structures are fully integrated underneath the futuristic styling of QarmaQ and this system takes advantage of several advanced materials that offer inherent energy absorbing properties. QarmaQ's body panels have been designed to work in concert with energy-absorbing systems on the underside of these panels to manage and dissipate the force of a pedestrian/CUV collision. The Elastic Front has been engineered to meet EEVC WG17 Phase2, Euro NCAP, and JNCA pedestrian impact requirements and is currently undergoing testing for final validation.

The Hyundai QarmaQ concept car is the result of the fusion of exceptional expertise and engineering foresight from Hyundai and GE Plastics. More than a design concept, QarmaQ illustrates that environmentally responsible solutions can be elegantly incorporated to enhance safety, design, and performance.
"GE Plastics is committed to developing greener, lighter, and aesthetically pleasing solutions to support our customers in creating vehicles with reduced environmental impact," said Gregory A. Adams, vice president and general manager, GE Plastics, Automotive. "We are delighted to have collaborated with Hyundai and we believe that working together we helped them develop an exciting new CUV that demonstrates greater environmental responsibility as well as improved safety, dramatic design, and high performance."
Firmly positioned as a crossover Coupe/CUV, the QarmaQ derives its name from traditional Inuit dwellings, constructed from earth, whalebone, and animal skins. Like them, QarmaQ challenges conventional ideas on construction methods and materials. Also in common with the original structures, it boasts unusual strength, resilience, and protection.
通过结合前沿设计，高级工程技术和GE材料技术的好处，QARMAQ展示了满足必要但有问题的立法领域，该领域涉及行人安全和生态责任。欧洲杯足球竞彩
The choice of a crossover coupe/CUV format for QarmaQ underlines the commitment of Hyundai to design innovation in this market sector. With Santa Fe, Tucson, and Veracruz, Hyundai created pioneering vehicles.
This 2+2 vehicle targets the important empty nest baby boomers demographic, who are rediscovering a new-found freedom while remaining the wealthiest demographic in history. Today, this key group of consumers is beginning to spend their nest egg and enjoy the fruits of their labour, not on material possessions, but on experiences. QarmaQ soulfully blends the driving experience of a Coupe with the ability to manage multi-terrain driving of a CUV, providing empty nesters with effortless access to their outdoor playground.
设计：形状自由
作为具有GE塑料的联合项目，Qarmaq赋予了设计师具有更大表现力的自由，可以创建复杂的三维形状，而传统的生产方法和材料（例如金属和玻璃）无法实现。欧洲杯足球竞彩
现代汽车欧洲现代汽车欧洲首席设计师Thomas B | Rkle说：“设计的强大轮廓和姿态融合了一方面的动态，雕塑品质和优雅的运动性，另一方面具有光滑的精制表面。”他补充说：“此外，GE材料的各种属性允许满足甚至超出安全要求的自由度。结果是内在外的独特欧洲杯足球竞彩平衡和谐波设计。”
Qarmaq脱离了将下半身和玻璃舱结合起来的传统汽车设计，使用GE的Lexan* Polycarbonate树脂，将一条新的步道带有全景环绕玻璃区域。该部分位于前轮和后轮上方的两个明显的“肌肉”之间。C形侧窗可实现创新的直升机状向下的可见性，是展示新的玻璃技术的关键设计功能。
Exterior: Fluidity of line
Connected by unique glazed surfaces, the exterior design relates strongly to, and interacts effortlessly with the interior. The unique division between the solid bodywork and transparent glazed areas creates a new perspective, whether viewed from inside or from the pedestrian standpoint.
The exterior contours and fluidity of line have been refined to give an immediate impression of movement frozen in motion. This aesthetic is mirrored in the interior, so that the fusion and merging of the perceptual boundaries between inside and out delivers a feeling of integration and synchronization to the overall appearance.
尽管Qarmaq没有高腰围或较小的窗户区域（传达保护感觉的常规方法），但外部设计仍然可以传达出司令部的影响力和保护感。
"The QarmaQ's exterior design communicates a commanding presence and a feeling of protection to the occupants," said Robert Butterfield, global market director, GE Plastics. "The twin domes on the sunroof, facilitated by the new glazing technology, increases the inner space for the rear passengers and creates a unique design feature." The wrap-around windscreen, in combination with the elongated bonnet delivers dramatic, almost classic, proportions and gives the car a unique sporty feeling. Finally, the contrast of the strong dark coloured areas to the lighter tonal areas emphasizes QarmaQ's off-road DNA.
