Hyundai Reveals Rhys Miller Racing Genesis Coupe Drifter
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.”
