2017 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Adopting 3.3T, AWD

(At least) a much improved visual design for the 2017 version of this maligned coupe. Plus AWD and 'around' 480HP in the "N performance" model would be a great upgrade from the present. Only hoping it has a chassis/handling to match the specs this time.

It looks like it weighs 4,000lbs.

My first thought as well, but I do think that concept looks really good. I'm guessing this turns out as more of a GT coupe than sports car. I'm sure the asking price will be ridiculous as well.

It already weighs 4,000 pounds... but it handles better than you'd expect.

...definitely room for improvement, but Hyundai has been improving their cars recently...so it's a wait and see.

Current Genesis Coupe owners who now won't be able to afford the new one won't be happy.

That's the max recommended weight including car, humans and cargo.

IIRC the curb weight of my buddies 2014 V6 Genesis Coupe with a full tank was right at 3300 pounds, so 200lbs more than mine (04' Touring) with a full tank.

I have driven it several times and considered one myself. It handles decent but just not my cup of tea. But they are quite quick and can be made much quicker easily. My biggest hang up with them is the interior though.

Put two 200 pound people in it and it tells you alot, lol

3400-3600 and, while solid and handles well, it is not an 8 by any means.... More like a light camaro.

A lot to like with the concept. Hate the grill though. Just too big and gaudy. Like the headlights.
