Here they are, quality shots of the production version of the genesis coupe that is to debut in 3-4 days during the press period at the NY international Auto Show.
Pretty much the same thing we seen with the last leak next to the mustang, just this time its not a crappy cell phone taking the shots, these are actually the promo pics from hyundai.

damn, i hope someone makes the front end off the orange prototype, i liked that front end a bit more. other than that, they really didn't stray that far away from the prototype.
like to see it in the hyundai ads with the genesis smoking the rear tires with a WTF in big bold letters in the ad,lol.

Early look: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Fourteen images of the new 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe have leaked online, ahead of its official debut next week at the New York Auto Show. The coupe is based on the same rear-wheel-drive platform as the Genesis sedan. It was previewed with a concept version late last year, and later to a marketing study group in pre-production form.
The car is expected to hit the market in Spring 2009, making it a 2010 model.
Hyundai officials recently revealed that the base car will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with up-level models being propelled by a 3.8L V6 — not the previously rumored V8 from the Genesis sedan. While official performance numbers remain unknown, Hyundai is tauting the production Genesis Coupe as the most affordable 300+ horsepower car on the market. Because Hyundai is specifically going after the Ford Mustang, look for final horsepower ratings in the 310 to 320 range. The car pictured in the leaked photos has a redline of 6,500 rpm.
The car's center stack features a large LCD screen, while the gauge cluster has a futuristic, two-pod design. The Genesis Coupe will have a 2+2 setup, with cup holders separating the rear buckets. Despite only having two doors, rear seat legroom looks surprisingly ample.
“Genesis Coupe is the most thrilling, most emotional Hyundai yet,” said John Krafcik, vice president, product development and strategic planning, Hyundai Motor America when the concept was first shown. “When it hits the market in early 2009, we aim to deliver a driving experience that challenges cars like Infiniti G37, at prices more like Mitsubishi Eclipse."

I would think it may actually be close. Like 275 possibly. Match that with an LSD and wow. 2009 may be possible for me. But Im looking at a house to. Damn priorities.
