Hornet in the 2019 NYIAS
this year marks Hornet’s first year in the 2019 New York International Auto Show, presenting considerably known models such as the Selena and Sidion.
One model, however, is considerably different from the others, with the help of 21 special individuals from Hornet’s high-tech division, a new age of Hornet may be flourished.
The Hornet Ventuno (21 in Italian) is a project in which creating a “Grand Tourer that would stand out from everyone else,” is then fleshed out to reality.
The upscale Korean grand tourer utilizes the traditional 2+2 layout, with a considerable twist that makes the car different from many other GTs available in the market today; it’s mid-engined as well.
The 21 designers and engineers that lead the development of this car made sure that it would be a car that would come from Hornet, but a Hornet that would be memorable in the eyes of many.
Utilizing an AIGCS courtesy of Zenshi and Fujitsu, modified solely for the car, the digital display allows the driver to know more about the car and utilize tools such as navigation with ease.
Powering the Ventuno is a highly modified version of Hornet’s Talos 2.4L Inline-4 engine, outfitted with a turbocharger, as well as Hornet’s Thor Hybrid System (THS) which utilizes direct drive electric motors on the front wheels, assisting in overall power delivery and stability of the Ventuno. With a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission, Combined power output is 480 HP, and the unique grand tourer will hit 60 MPH in less than 4 seconds.
We want to show the world that Hornet is ready to get on a whole new level with the competition, and that we’re not afraid to throw our punches.
