|Seoul, Korea, August 14, 2012 - Hyundai Motor Company today announced that two of its most exciting vehicle models will make their debut on |

|one of the most popular mobile racing games, Asphalt 7: Heat, on iOS and Android smartphones/tablets, to give customers the chance to |

|experience the Hyundai brand in the palm of their hands. |

| |

|Starting this month, players can find both the Veloster Turbo and Genesis Coupe in Gameloft’s best-selling mobile racing game, Asphalt 7: |

|Heat, as they are added to the lineup of 60 other high-performance cars from the world’s premium automakers. |

| |

|Gameloft, a leading global publisher of digital and social games, released the lastest installment to its famed Asphalt series in June, while |

|Hyundai will be featured in next update being launched this month. The collaboration syncs up perfectly with Hyundai’s ‘Modern Premium’ brand |

|direction as it strives to use Hyundai innovation to give customers experiences above and beyond their expectations. |

| |

|Known for its dynamic gameplay and high-quality graphics, Gameloft’s Asphalt series has been downloaded more than 50 million times since its |

|launch. Asphalt 7: Heat is an adrenaline-fueled car-racing game where players compete in ruthless showdowns at breakneck speeds across the |

|world. |

| |

|The Hyundai Veloster Turbo and Genesis Coupe are popular with younger drivers, thanks to their aggressive, head-turning styling and |

|fun-to-drive performance. The Veloster Turbo, which debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, is a car that best conveys |

|Hyundai’s new thinking. The vehicle, featuring an innovative three-door coupe design with the functionality of a hatch, comes with a 204ps |

|turbocharged engine. The facelifted Genesis Coupe, Hyundai’s first rear-wheel drive sports coupe, recently starred in its own buzzworthy |

|online film, “Genesis Coupe Versus An Arrow,” outrunning an arrow shot by a world-class archer. The Genesis Coupe packs 347ps of |

|pavement-shredding power. |

| |

|Through this partnership, Hyundai will accelerate its mobile game marketing to enhance its overall brand image. In addition to the Asphalt 7: |

|Heat brand intigration, Hyundai and Gameloft are also launching an exclusive and dedicated version of GT Racing: Motor Academy on Android, |

|where players can find the brand’s futuristic i-oniq concept car along with the Genesis Coupe available in the game. In an effort to |

|strengthen its game marketing, Hyundai is also collaborating with Gameloft to plan an assortment of special events in the second half of this |

|year, with Hyundai subsidiaries preparing region-specific marketing programs as well. |

| |

|“We hope this project with Gameloft will give the young generation, as well as Hyundai’s current customers, an opportunity to experience the |

|Hyundai brand,” said Wonhong Cho, Chief Marketing Officer for Hyundai Motor. “Hyundai will continue to offer ‘Modern Premium’ values to future|

|customers through brilliant marketing activities.” |

| |

|“We are thrilled to be partnering with Hyundai to offer our fans, and those of the iconic brand, an even bigger selection of vehicles in our |

|already rich catalog of 60 available cars for Asphalt 7: Heat and to let players drive the famous i-oniq concept car in GT Racing: Motor |

|Academy,” said Alexandre Tan, Business Development Director at Gameloft. |
