Highest HP Gen Coupe
Anyone know yet what the highest HP recorded is for the Gen Coupes? I'm interested in seeing if there are any daily driver 500 horsepower ones driving around.

There were a bunch of videos of turbocharged 3.8l Gen Coupes coming out of Korea with 500+hp, but who knows if they're daily driven.
The RMR Genesis Coupe makes 550hp and uses the stock crank and rods. I think that equates to the engine being suitable for daily use at that power level.

So, when you say, "highest HP", you really mean, "highest HP, daily driven, owned by an individual and not a shop, street legal, stock motor mount" Genesis Coupe?
If not, the RMR mid-engined V8 Coupe undoubtedly makes the most power.

Don't believe it's NA.

It's N/A with ITB's unless they changed plans since RMR and Hyundai made all their publicity videos.
