(V6); 3439 lbs. (4-cylinder) The car is not light though. With full Carbon Fiber package(aftermarket) could help a little. Also the car is wider. This could indeed be a good road performer. Hyundai has tendency to underrate the Horsepower and Torque numbers on the cars before production so it would be even better if it comes with 350HP and 290~ 300 lb/ft torque. That'll give you some SERIOUS damage. I want to know the gear ratios on this 6 speed manual. I'm assuming they are pretty tight, close gear ratios and have very strong pull from 100~ 150. I would like to see this beating the G35/37.

Now depending on the V6 w/6speed pricing with the brembos, that will determine if it's a sales maker or breaker. If they price it in the sub $30k range, close to $25k then we will see it take a chunk out of 350z sales, WRX, EVO, and just about ever other sporty import car. -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host |

Any chance the Genesis Coupe will hit the dealers in the U.S. sometime end of this year?

Replying to: air_scoops (Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am) Removal of the vents in the hood (looks cool, but more of an aftermarket addition) the upper, center grille...is pretty much still the same size. If you look closely, the lower grilles aer pretty much the same size with the exception of the fog lights on the production model, but if you look at the concept version...there is trim that almost equals the amount of space taken up by the fog lights. Lastly...the rear brake vents located at the rear qtr panel. Extremely cool...yes, necessary...no. Again...a nice aftermarket addition since you would only need to worry about additional brake cooling if you're gonna make this a track car and actually race it. As far as the back goes...it pretty much looks the same except for the lacking spoiler, which I'm sure one would be offered when production actually takes place. One nice thing would if Hyundai offered a GT version where one could order the Genesis coupe decked out with the carbon fiber pieces as seen on the concept vehicle. I think that would be a HUGE hit!!! The lines of the car still remain the same on the upper portion (the sides), but with the removal of the rear brake vent, the lower lines change slightly. I also think the color difference makes a huge difference. Not to mention how it was photographed. The orange concept version capitalizes on shadows to accentuate the creases and lines on the car in an indoor setting. The silver production version...well, the creases and lines are lost in the lighter color and also being photographed outside. Also, the two tone of the black carbon fiber against the orange lends itself to a more aggressive look as well. In short, the concept almost ALWAYS looks better than the actual production model.
