"Just when we thought it couldn&amp;#039;t get any hipper, the Hyundai Veloster ditches its top and goes uber-urban with the new Veloster C3 Roll Top concept. Not just any ragtop, the Veloster C3, which uses the same 3-door coupe design as the production car, sports a rear tailgate instead of a hatch. Its canvas roof \u2013 made from repurposed truck tarps \u2013 can roll back from the windshield like a traditional convertible, or roll forward from the back window to make room for a barrage of weekend warrior equipment like bikes, surfboards, or all that junk from Ikea you knew you didn&amp;#039;t need.        Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept    Hyundai says the C3 Roll Top concept was inspired by &amp;quot;fixies,&amp;quot; those fixed gear bikes with bright colors and no brakes you&amp;#039;ve probably seen darting through traffic, mounted by guys in mind-bendingly tight skinny jeans. That pared-down, notice-me philosophy was translated to the Veloster by Hyundai&amp;#039;s North American design team, under direction of chief designer Chris Chapman. They gave the C3 a glossy white body with matte black front grille, rear spoiler and 18-inch front wheels. Splashes of color appear in red sideview mirror housings, a red canvas graphic top, and 18-inch matte rear wheels in a shade of teal that would put your mom&amp;#039;s 80s-blue eyeshadow to shame.        Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept    To add to the &amp;quot;showiness&amp;quot; of the C3, designers lined the cargo floor and rear seatbacks with colorful mosaics made from repurposed skateboards. The theme continues with skateboard grip tape on the inside of the tailgate and on the soft top. Interior colors are red and black to match the retractable roof and have red contrast stitching, red bolsters and a red C3 logo in the front seats.   After all of that, Hyundai didn&amp;#039;t pare down the C3 Concept&amp;#039;s powertrain. It uses the Veloster Turbo&amp;#039;s 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine, good for 201 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 195 lb.-ft. of torque from a mere 1,750 rpm.        Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept    While we don&amp;#039;t expect to see the Hyundai Veloster C3 arrive on showroom floors as-is, we wouldn&amp;#039;t be surprised if Hyundai announced a production version of this drop-top down the road. And some of those brash colors just might make it to the order guide. After all, the Veloster Turbo debuted in a matte paint option earlier this year, complete with a special car care kit and a water-tight disclaimer. We can already picture those future Veloster convertible owners, skinny jeans and all.        Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
