At the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Hyundai partnered with a handful of selected aftermarket tuners to show the possibilities available to owners of the Genesis Coupe.
The cars shown were developed in conjunction with GReddy and Hennessey, two of Hyundai’s preferred tuning outlets.
“Each year, we fill our SEMA display with the most exciting custom cars through a partnership with the aftermarket to create even more options for Hyundai owners,†said Michael Deitz, manager, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “This year, we chose to again showcase the rear-wheel drive Genesis platform which has tremendous enthusiast appeal and a growing allegiance in the tuner space.â€
Hennessey Genesis Carbon Coupe
The matte black coupe cranks out 500 horsepower and 450 lb-ft. of torque, enough to push the light-weight car to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, according to Hyundai. A Hennessey Custom Single Turbo System with a precision 66 mm ball bearing turbocharger, Tial blow off valve and HKS boost controller, among other upgrades, offer the substantial performance upgrade.
GReddy X-Gen Street Genesis Coupe
GReddy says that Genesis Coupe buyers will now be able to buy performance parts specifically made for their cars by the import tuning specialists.
The show car featured the GReddy Total Tune Up package, which boosts power to 350 horsepower and 320 lb-ft. of torque in addition to the cosmetic upgrades.
