Hyundai, HKS team up for SEMA show car

09/04/2008, 9:37 AM

By Andrew Ganz

Hyundai and aftermarket parts maker HKS have combined talents to create a specially tuned version of the upcoming Genesis coupe for the SEMA show in November. Though specific details haven’t been released, the Genesis show car will feature a tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a unique ground-effects kit.

Hyundai says that the show car features HKS-modified engine internals, exhaust, an intake system, engine-management and adjustable suspension in addition to the styling tweaks. At its introduction in New York earlier this year, Hyundai had said that the Genesis coupe was designed to be “tuner-friendly.”

With a few modifications the Genesis Coupe actually looks pretty good. I’m really curious to see what they did to the engine. I’m starting to like it more and more now. I wonder what the turbo-four Genesis coupe would cost? Can’t believe I just said that…

Yeah I hope the aftermarket industry accepts this car. I think it will. It’s almost like the 240SX of its time.

Stock the turbo 4 Genesis Coupe puts out 222hp & 216ftlbs of torque. It also isn’t too light. 3,549lbs curb weight.

But I imagine 300+whp would make it pretty fast. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out for it.

Need4SSpeed – don’t worry! They are! See http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/forumdisplay.php?f=28 for a few who are already working on things.. I see lots of exterior mods already available. Performance mods are in development. There’s even one vendor working on fitting a Tau V8 into the Coupe…
