Embodying pure prestige and uncompromising luxury, the SLV (Super Luxury Vehicle) reaches for the pinnacle of the automaker's art and craft. The SLV could represent the ultimate luxury motoring for the VIPs, business tycoons, and royalty of tomorrow. With an overall 5630mm length, 1980mm width, and 1580mm height, the SLV can offer a generously sized interior that can do double duty as a fully functional mobile office or as a relaxation space. While the styling concept adopts the classic 3-box design, the lines and curves sweep dramatically to create a stunning futuristic silhouette with distinctive retro-styling elements that echo the classic limousine design of years past. The SLV wears a fiber-reinforced polymer skin and features the fullest imaginable array of sophisticated convenience, including a power-operated door, a rear-vision display system, and state-of-the-art telecommunications.
Seoul's motor show was so clogged with concepts in the 90s that at one point, they were confined to a separate area to quell complaints of meaningless corporate posturing. Hyundai's SLV, revealed in 1997, parked itself squarely in that category. Vertically ascending front and rear doors suggested self-coshing would be a daily event, while the snow-plow jowl and hearse-like rear pointed to a somber future for executives.
