A message written on Earth and seen in space, that’s the premise of this one – the novelty is that the message was crafted out by way of car. Eleven cars, to be exact, all Hyundai Genesis luxury sedans.
When the 13-year-old daughter of an astronaut on the International Space Station had a special hand-written letter to send to her father, Hyundai decided it was going to come out with a novel way to share her thoughts by writing a personal message in giant lettering big enough to be read from space.
The message was imprinted on the Delamar Dry Lake in Nevada, with 11 Hyundai Genesis cars utilised to draw it out. The scale of the message speaks for itself – size-wise, it’s one a half times the size of New York’s Central Park, and measuring 5.55 square kilometres, the creation has been officially recognised as a Guinness World Record as ‘the largest tire track image’ ever made.
Choreographing the moves for the final drawing of the message took weeks, with plotting being drawn with the aid of GPS so the layout could be mapped and the drivers would know exactly where to drive. A multitude of cameras were used to capture the whole event, which looked like it was a logistics nightmare. Yes, it’s an indirect plug for the Genesis, but neat – and touching – stuff nonetheless.

I have actually gotten a chance to try and have an extended try on session with the Genesis (about 30 minutes) at a dealer in Malaysia. I must say, blindfolded, you can be forgiven if you think it is Japanese or German. Seriously, from the time you open the door and get in, to the startup an idling of the V6, it just felt superbly refined. The seats were absolutely lovely for a Hyundai, and I dare say miles better than the Inokom 5 series. Heck, it is softer than the leather used in the E Class too.
And the toys. Nuff said. Only issue, the price. Rumours are going around saying that it would start at about 380k, which is a bit steep for a first attempt from a company that was known with making some good and some turds. Not to mention the questionable aftersales, which might put me off. But from an engineering perspective, it is spot on brilliant.
