Hyundai Genesis coupe
Hyundai hopes the new Genesis coupe
sports car will provide performance and
looks to compete with the famous pony car, and on paper it looks like a close
fight. These latest images give us details and angles not seen before. The
power source for the Tiburon replacement is still up in the air, but
speculation runs from a 2.0L turbocharged mill for the base model - to start
under $20,000 - to a 300hp 3.8L V6 mid-range variant to a range-topping ‘Tau’
V8 producing as much as 380hp. Optional accoutrement are rumored to include a
limited slip differential and Brembo brakes. Aside from some obvious
concessions to practicality - the heavily louvred carbon fiber hood is gone,
for example - the production car looks to stick remarkably close to the
concept’s lines, right down to the funky rear window notch. The side rear
brakes duct is gone, and the front intake/air dam area is tamed a bit, but
overall the car provides a very aggressive and sleek demeanor due to its
wheels and tires. The
Mustang’s blocky retro looks are aging, and the Genesis may be just the thing
younger buyers are looking for. Hyundai’s performance coupe is not to be
confused with the luxury sedan of the same name - they share some design cues
and possibly some engines, but little else is the same. The large, luxurious
sedan will be priced well above the coupe, and though performance should be
swift with the 368hp 4.6L V8 under the hood, it is being pitched as a
BMW 7-series or Mercedes E-class fighter,not a sports sedan.
