SEMA 2008: Hyundai Genesis Coupe tuned by HKS and Street Concepts
Filed under: Aftermarket, SEMA, Tuners, Coupes, Hyundai
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe
In addition to the race-ready RMR Genesis Coupe, HKS and Street Concepts brought out their own rear-wheel-drive two-doors to the party.
The Street Concepts coupe builds off the 3.8-liter V6 model, coating the exterior in a "Stealth Fighter-inspired" paint scheme and matching it to a custom grille, tinted head and tail lights and an APR wing. 19-inch Volk hoops wrapped in Pirelli rubber fill the wheel wells and frame uprated Brembo brakes. The only substantive engine mods are a K&N cold air intake and Magnaflow cat back exhaust. Inside, it's more about show than go, with a pair of Recaro Sportster Topline seats, black suede accents and an Infinity audio system.
HKS received a turbocharged 2.0-liter model to build its masterpiece, and with a GT2835R turbo upgrade, HKS stainless tubular manifold, intercooler, sequential blow-off valve, carbon fiber air box and cat-back exhaust, the HKS Genesis is a good indication of what the first round of modded coupes could look like when it goes on sale this Spring. In addition to the engine upgrades, the suspension has been swapped out with HKS Hipermax III coilovers, along with a functional aero kit designed by Ken Style - HKS's Time Attack partner.
Hit the jump for more details and video of the reveal.

Yer, this is going to be pretty damned intetresting. My first question however, is if we can take the V8 from the big sedan and chuck it into the roadster! Twin Vortechs/intercoolers are starting to sound like a good road car project. banana.gif BTW. How in the nine hells am I gonna make that many posts in a week? blink.gif

Well, the contest isn't over until someone catches me (I'm confident it will happen) but in reality you fell into the trap of a tricky piece of code which shows every user's name in my sig just for fun. smile.gif
As for the Genesis Coupe, Hyundai's engineers said that the V8 simply won't fit. I'm betting they're wrong, but it might not fit well enough for a production car. It'll also probably need a pretty big bulge in the hood. Short of that if someone has the will there will be a way.

Well, lets just have a look at it and see what comes up. If the Genesis platform is somewhat identical, then there should be some body parts that can be swapped out to suit. Gonna be an interesting next few years!

i cant wait ima get the lime green or that orange color i dont know which motor yet cause i have heard the turbo 4 will out do the v6 but look at the delta 2.7. it has proven everyone wrong to being a crappy motor to now it turns out 500 horse in korean race cars
