30-12-2011 at 10:00: Veloster Makes Racing Debut in Times Square

New York is a hot spot when it comes to New Year’s celebrations, but this year is a little different as a new motor racing series made its debut in Times Square.

Hyundai Motor America has launched an interactive racing game called “HYUNDAI RACE” on its prominent Times Square video billboard. Visitors can play the high resolution racing game featuring the all-new Hyundai Veloster on the big screen in New York’s Times Square.

“HYUNDAI RACE” is controlled by tilting a smart phone, just like turning the steering wheel when driving a car. Players can easily download the controller for “HYUNDAI RACE” from the App Store. Then, by connecting to the free Hyundai WiFi network in Times Square, players can control their vehicle on the big screen just as if they were playing a racing game on their smart phone. When players finish the race, their score appears on the billboard, and shows their ranking among other players.

“HYUNDAI RACE” will be on the billboard until the end of this year, and Hyundai plans to deliver other innovative interactive experiences in Times Square next year.

“HYUNDAI RACE” is a strategy that aligns with Hyundai’s new brand direction – “New Thinking. New Possibilities” – which was announced at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The new brand direction aims to provide customers with experiences beyond expectations through innovative thinking.

The all-new Veloster, which was unveiled at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, is an example of Hyundai’s new brand direction. The vehicle features an innovative three-door compact coupe design with the functionality of a hatch and a passenger-side forward-hinged rear door.

The all-new Veloster will be launched in Australia on February 12 2012.
