Hyundai Tuning

joining the already announced RMR version of the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Hyundai announced today that it tuner HKS will also display its version of the upcoming Genesis Coupe at the 2008 SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas.

The HKS Genesis Coupe 2.0t uses the base models chassis, rear-wheel-drive architecture and its 3.8 liter V6 engine producing 306-hp. HKS will add its GT Turbo upgrade to increase horsepower and torque, a limited-edition turbo exhaust system, an HKS Super Mega Flow Intake System and an HKS Engine Management and HKS Hipermax III fully-adjustable suspension. From the one image released by Hyundai, it seems HKS will also add a new bodykit and new wheels.

Though not to be released until sometime Spring 2009, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe has created quite a stir amongst the younger auto enthusiast generation. This rear-wheel drive car will not be replacing the company’s flagship front-wheel drive sports car the Tiburon as it has a successor of it’s own lined up.
The Genesis Coupe has been designed to be the most affordable sports car in it’s class – going head to head with rivals such as the Ford Mustang and BMW M3. Two engine choices are said to be available upon production – a turbocharged four cylinder engine and a 300 – 320 horsepower from a 3.8L V6.
What can we expect from this “affordable” sports car? Well considering the Tiburon has done quite well with it’s excellent handling and established motor sports career in Touring Cars and Rally series , this car shouldn’t be a disappointment. Although I always do question the reliability and quality Hyundai puts out I think this car will be a huge hit.
