Hyundai Tuning

Hyundai Motor displayed the racing tuning version of its Genesis Coupe 380GT in Korea market. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a rear-wheel drive sports coupe from Hyundai Motor Company, which has started preorders for the Korean market in September 2008, and is scheduled to be released on October 13, 2008. It is Hyundai’s first rear-wheel drive coupe, and shares its basic platform with the Hyundai Genesis luxury sedan.

At the 2009 Chicago Auto Show today, Hyundai officially announced the launch of their first U.S. motorsports program, co-sponsored by Rhys Miller Racing and Red Bull Energy Drink. Hoping to kick off their inaugural debut in the motorsports arena with a successful season, Hyundai and RMR are currently hard at work fine-tuning the 550-horsepower RMR Red Bull Hyundai Genesis Coupe drifter. “The Genesis Coupe Concept inspired me to seek out a relationship with Hyundai and it has developed into multiple projects,” commented Rhys Millen himself, “The immediate focus is developing the RMR Red Bull Hyundai Genesis Coupe into a drift car with a 550-horsepower engine and a lightweight, rigid chassis. We are applying everything we know about fabricating into building this car.”
