Rhys Millen’ Hyundai Genesis Coupe Debacle

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

In the BMW community there are many well known cars around the country. One in particular is Jon Sibal. Jon’s a graphic designer and his BMW shows it. His custom renderings have not only changed the face of his 3-series, but that of many other cars, including various cars that often show up at SEMA. However, this year, there’s going to be one car in particular that uses his designs, yet he had no part in. Here’s the picture:


The new Hyundai Coupe, with help from racing drive of D1 drifting fame, have put together a “racing concept” car to get people excited about the new coupe. In the process of doing so, they may have stolen a rendering by Jon that was done for a Lexus LF-A front bumper. As you can see by the picture below, the designs are from the hood-line down are an exact copy. Doing a quick copy-paste and resize in Photoshop only makes the case for Hyundai worse. I only hope that whoever did this design for Hyundai realizes you can’t go around taking other people’s designs off the internet.
