Summary

Description

One of the exhibits at the National Science Museum in Daejeon is this early 1990s Hyundai Scoupe, donated by the manufacturer, explaining how an automobile works.

This Scoupe is powered by the Hyundai Alpha engine, the first automotive engine developed in South Korea. The 1993 Scoupe was the first car to get the engine. The Alpha could be had with a turbocharger as an option, and this particular Scoupe is equipped with one.

The Scoupe, chassis code L1, was designed as a sportier version of the Excel. British sports car manufacturer Lotus had a say in the Scoupe's suspension tuning. The Scoupe, alongside the Elantra, allowed Hyundai to market a four-model lineup in export markets, rather than two that it used to market in the 1980s (initially Pony/Stellar, later Excel/Sonata). It was eventually replaced by the Tiburon sports car (known simply as the Hyundai Coupe in some markets).

The Alpha was the first in a line of increasingly more high-tech engines Hyundai developed. Larger engines, like the Lambda V6 in a number of high-end applications and the Tau V8 for the Equus and the export Genesis, would be well-respected and received. A more common Hyundai engine, the Theta I4, was also used as the basis for the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) engine, jointly developed and produced with Mitsubishi and Chrysler; the GEMA engine powers the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution as well as Hyundai's own Genesis Coupe.
