Hyundai's New Genesis Coupe (RWD 3.5L 300+HP)

[Epik151]

Yes, Coldjensens, Hyundai Assurance is with every car. As well as the 10-year powertrain warranty and 5-year bumper to bumper.

It does have backseats, which makes it a lot more practical than the 370Z.

The Red/Black/White are R-Spec colors and are named after popular race circuits around the world.

Pricing for 6-speed Manual

$22,000 - 2.0T
$23,750 - 2.0T R-Spec (later release date)
$24,250 - 2.0T Premium
$25,000 - 3.8
$27,500 - Grand Touring
$29,500 - 3.8 Track

"The R-Spec brings a lot to the table by bringing less, targeted at the track day and tuner crowd who will be modifying their cars to start, so no Bluetooth stuff, no automatic headlights, cruise control, chrome trim, steering wheel buttons, and other nonessential doo-dads. It does keep all the good stuff though — four pot Brembos, Torsen limited slip differential, six speed manual and Bridgestone Potenza's wrapped around 19 inch gunmetal gray wheels. It also gets a more aggressive tune on the traction control system, 7% stiffer front springs and 15% stiffer rears, retuned dampers and thicker anti-roll bars.

Basically this is the Genesis Coupe we would be optioning were we in the market for one. Considering the price starts at $23,750, its going to be the darling of every high school parking lot."

Give Hyundai ten years and then will surpass Toyota. Mark my words.

[Epik151]

Maybe for them to outsell Toyota. But does Toyota currently have a car like this?

So where are these manufactured and assembled?

[Epik151]

Not sure yet but hopefully here because Hyundai's $1.4 billion plant in Montgomery, Alabama is one of the best in the world: Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama; LLC.

Motive did a write-up on Hyundai's V8 in September.

"... he returns with an impressive 4.9-second 0-60 time with the car running a conservative 11 pounds of boost. Tests with earlier prototypes and more road returned a quarter-mile time of 13.58 seconds at 108 mph. Still, the Hyundai guys aren't satisfied. "Needs summer tires," Dan Bedore tells me. "Plus, we can't push the car hard. Breaking it at this point would be a real bummer."

A "conservative" 4.9 0-60 and 13.58 1/4 mile is riduculous in a big luxury sedan like the Genesis. It'll be interesting to see AMG's get smoked by Hyundais.



Chicago Auto Show.

"The 4.6 liter Tau V8 offered in the Hyundai Genesis Sedan normally cranks out 380 HP, but this prototype engine gets a screw-type supercharger with a novel clutched pulley, a water-to-air intercooler, and cylinder deactivation. This results in 460 HP and 435 lb-ft of torque while returning 8% better fuel economy."

A "big luxury sedan." Lol.

The Genesis Coupe and Sedan are manufactured in South Korea, probably in Ulsan where Hyundai's main plant is. The only two models made in Alabama for the moment are the Sonata and Santa Fe and that's only for the USA/Canadian market.

I checked the Genesis Coupe out at the auto show. They had it open and let us check it out. I had high expectations and even this car blew me out of the water. I'm going to put this on my list to buy in three or four years as a fun car. I can't wait to drive one.
