The 3.8L V6 model of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe may be the hottest version of the coupe straight out of the box, but GReddy has developed a new range performance parts to turn the 2.0L turbo model from an also-ran to king of the hill.
GReddy Performance Parts has teamed with Hyundai to create the “GReddy X-Gen Street Genesis Coupeâ€, set to hit the show stage at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Based on the 2.0L version of the Genesis Coupe, GReddy has seriously upped the coupe’s street and track cred — not the mention the obligatory SEMA body work.
The GReddy X-Gen Street Genesis Coupe is aimed at the driving enthusiasts that uses the vehicle as a daily driver, but also might pull weekend racing duties with the same rig. As such, the modifications aren’t over the top, but add up to a healthy 350 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. GReddy says the tuned coupe can run from 0-60 in under 6 seconds.
If 350 horsepower still sounds a little too tame, GReddy is also working on a 500 horsepower version of the kit.
“The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a perfect car for the automotive enthusiast and the GReddy products are designed to maximize the performance capabilities of the vehicle,†said Kenji Sumino, general manager, GReddy Performance Parts. “The Genesis Coupe is the ideal car for SEMA and we are building upon the overall concepts originally designed by Hyundai engineers and are looking forward to developing a must-see car at this year’s SEMA Show.â€
Look for GReddy to launch a number of other performance parts for the Genesis Coupe – including exhaust and suspension components – in the coming months.
