Korean-based electronics giant Samsung has released design sketches of its eMX Concept which is set to be previewed at the upcoming Seoul Motor Show which will take place in April. Some of you might find this as a surprise but Samsung has had an automotive division since the mid-90’s, and sometime in 2000, Renault purchased 70% (now already 80%) of the division back in 2000, forming Renault-Samsung Motors.
The eMX, or also known as the eco-motoring experience concept is said to preview the upcoming 2010 Samsung SM3 sedan. Engine wise, the concept is expected to feature a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine, while the outgoing Samsung SM3 which is based on the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy is powered by a normally aspirated 136HP 2.0 litre engine. Renault-Samsung Motors may even drop in a 205HP 2.0 litre turbo found in the Renault Laguna GT that is also good for 300Nm of torque.
The sketches indicate that the Samsung eMX Concept is almost production ready, with a rather good looking design, especially with the aggressive front end. I can’t wait to look at images of the actual concept! Please continue reading to view another sketch.

There is nothing more exiting then telling people that you drive a samsung.
Wow, has the little hint of Volkswagen at the back.
Samsung on automobils? Never ever heard before. Samsung nowdays is a giant company for Korea. Can say it's pride.

Samsung has been in a car business in Korea and most of them are Nissan/Renault rebadged. Go search for Samsung SM3 (Sylphy), SM5 (Cefiro) and SM7 (Extra long Cefiro).
So I don't see why the funny reaction from you guys that Samsung is in the car business.
eMX is Electric appliance+ BMX bike
Sony Ericsson might introduce new series of Walkman and Cybershot cars then…
pretty good design. you can see korean/ japanese wildness complemented with some clean german lines. i hav to admit…i see some "ding dong" type comments being posted by some ppl…shame.
Huh? Samsung cars? I think AKIRA should consider building their own car as well…
Samsung is a multi-business conglomerate, and many people here think they are only in electronics. They built anything from buildings to ships. Samsung Motors' cars are based on models from the Renault-Nissan group. The flagship SM7 is based on the Nissan Teana
the front end…
remind me of the caldina..
actually samsung has been doin cars for awhile now, their recent SUV seems slick. but anyways some are collaborations with renault who hav a stake… wud love to have a sleek samsung sedan to go with my samsung f330 =D
SM 3 , SM 5 , SM 7 = samsung + renault ,

Samsung is not just an electronic device maker but samsung also have a many divisions and that's why the giant korean company are versatile. They can do anything. I heard that Samsung had been producing heavy machines such as bulldozer that are seen at the construction yard.
