They have a 375 and a 290 horsepower version... that's pretty impressive.

 

thats very impressive but now the question is: Will it be a reliable car with that much power? As in will it not break down in a year? My dad's first car was a Hyundai Elantra way back in 95 and that thing was horrible. Maybe thats why I never liked Hyundai cause of the pain my dad went through trying to maintain it. But ill agree that was then and this is now. I'm still kinda skeptical about a V8 powerplant from Hyundai. But I will admit Hyundai has come a long way from what it was 14 years ago.

 

That's the reason why they have that 100k/10yr warranty, because their cars are unreliable.

 

375hp.....damn.....(surprised look )

 

375HP is no joke.

You just have to modify the grille and give it some external touches and it would be bad ***. With that kind of power, you focus less on the engine and more on the looks.

I like the chop job photoedit version of this car.

 

I wonder what Hyundai's going to charge for a 375 horsepower car.

 

Hyundai's quality isn't so bad the last several years. It's the name that's tattered...

Check the link and note where Mazda is compared to Hyundai and even Kia. LOL

The 375hp V8 is going in to the 4 door sedan.

I hear that the coupe will get a turbo 4 somewhere around 200hp and a more powerful V6 that comes in around 300hp.

 

Haha apparentely even Kia's are more dependable than our cars, nice...

 

I dig it, I've always thought all Hyundai needs is a Tiburon type car with rwd, the ony thing killing the Tiburon is it's wrong wheel drive, and they fixed it with this one, I don't mind the front so much, I've seen way worse in lesser and more expensive cars. (*cough-Jaguar-cough*)

 

The V8 is for the sedan the coupe only gets a 4 and 6.

 

I have a '99 Hyundai Tiburon beater car with over 100k miles that would disagree that it's unreliable. It's been the most solid car I've ever owned. In 100k miles all that's needed replacement is the battery (twice), the drive axles (boots ripped), and the exhaust manifold (cracked).

Less than $500 worth of repairs for 100k miles and nine years of service is pretty damn good.

 

I see this car as being an alternative to the 350Z. Same formula (big V6, rwd, irs, etc.) Although the price difference probably is not going to be to much (base 350Z versus loaded Genesis/Tiburon). Also give my Korean friends something to crow about

 

more of an alternate to the G37

If there were ever a fail-safe formula for a press conference, Hyundai nailed it. While we're normally forced to endure lengthy tomes about an automaker's past achievements and the blatherings of egomaniacal execs, Hyundai comes out with two Genesis coupes doing burnouts, e-brake turns and powerslides, then caps it all off with enough pyrotechnics to make North Korea nervous. It was unequivocally badass, and not only does Hyundai have the recipe for a kicking press conference, they know how to cook up exactly what enthusiasts have been asking for.

Under the expert direction of a duo of bombshell drivers (one of which is Angelina Jolie's stunt driver, and both of which can be seen in the gallery), the two coupes made their way around the makeshift track in a smoky haze that was only partially caused by the copious amount of rubber put down on the faux tarmac (the rest was from the fireworks). Both models were present – the 310-hp, 3.8-liter V6 and the 223-hp (217 on swill-fuel) turbocharged 2.0-liter four. While there was a lot of talk about giving the people what they've yearned for, there was no word on price. We're guessing that the V6 will be somewhere around $25,000, while the turbo'd 2.0-liter will just crest the $20k mark.

Check out all the official info on the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe in our original post, but don't forget to peruse the high-res gallery of live action shots from the presser below and the video too!

this car is going to be pretty fast, 310hp from the v6 and 223hp from the turbo 4

 

$25k for a 300+ hp engine and RWD? Not too shabby...I'm going to have to take a look once this thing hits the dealerships. Watching the video, it seems that they look better in person than the official pictures. Maybe it's because I'm seeing them in motion...they look like they maneuver pretty well, turn radius is pretty tight. Looks pretty good in red too......and the hot blonde stunt drivers don't hurt either.

 

throw a bodykit on it. god's answer to ugly cars.

 

yea..basically change the front and its an attractive car...a 220hp turbo 4 as a BASE isnt too shabby either...

they are saying about 3300 for the weight...so overall not bad for Hyundai's first romp to this side of the woods

 

you bastard!

 

bloody hell.. i thought there was an update.
die spammer DIE

 

tried to slip some spam by me. DENIED!

 

Ugly.

 

Here's an update for you...

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/coupes/hyundai/



Teaming up with Rhys Millen Racing to build a SEMA show car, Hyundai will perform its part of the bargain by supplying a 2.0L turbocharged version of the car. Designed to showcase the tuning potential for the Coupe, the car will be called the ‘Art of Speed’ and will be on show in Las Vegas this November.

A custom Rhys Millen Racing (RMR) turbo kit will be fitted to increase output of the Hyundai mill. A heavy-duty HKS sequential transmission will give the car real racing credibility - a must, since the plan is to end up with a car capable of running the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Formula D drift events or the Redline Time Attack series.

“The focus will be on the engine and a radical body design to complement the factory body lines. We are going to transform the Genesis Coupe into an apex-carving machine with jaw-dropping looks. We think it has the possibility of being one of the coolest cars at the show,” said Rhys Millen, race driver and founder of RMR.

In addition to the go-fast parts, RMR will add a widebody kit, a hood scoop to get air to the intercooler and a carbon fiber wing. Enkei racing wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE-01 tires straddle the line between speed and looks. Inside the cockpit, a Sparco steering wheel and seats offer a race-car interface while the eight-point roll cage protects the driver. A light-weight custom carbon fiber dash completes the race-car treatment.

And another one...

Hyundai has announced that its upcoming Genesis Coupe will be available with a high-performance brake package from Brembo. For the Coupe’s front 18in wheels, Brembo engineers developed 13.4in x 1.1in (340mm x 28mm) rotors and four-piston fixed calipers. The rear wheels, meanwhile, are fitted with 13in x 0.78in (330mm x 20mm) rotors and smaller four-pot calipers.

 

For some reason this car just does nothing for me aesthetically.

 

All of a sudden, I don't think the Camaro is a big deal anymore... especially for a muscle car.
