Default ab-b Cosworth, Hyundai building Genesis Racing Series concept for SEMA

Filed under: Concept Cars, SEMA Show, Coupe, Performance, Hyundai, Design/Style







Hyundai is gearing up for this year's SEMA Show in a big way. The Korean automaker has partnered up with Cosworth to develop a special Genesis Coupe. The Cosworth CGRS Concept boasts a 389-horsepower version of the factory 3.8-liter, direct-injection V6. That's a respectable jump of 41 horsepower over the stock six cylinder, and the additional power comes courtesy of a Cosworth intake and exhaust, new engine control parameters and improved thermal management. A Cosworth big brake system and suspension help keep the coupe pointed in the right direction. This is SEMA, however, which means the coupe also gets a slathering of interior and exterior tweaks.



Inside, Cosworth served up a steering wheel, shift knob, pedals, shift boot and sports seats, while slathering the vehicle's body in satin and gloss blue paint. The stock front fascia was ditched in favor of a new piece with integrated carbon fiber brake ducts. Speaking of the composite, Cosworth whipped up a front splitter, side skirt, rear diffuser and trunk lid spoiler from the stuff just for this car. Look for the Cosworth Genesis Coupe to debut at the SEMA Show next month. Until then, check out the full press release below.Continue reading Cosworth, Hyundai building Genesis Racing Series concept for SEMA

Almost a 400hp v6, yes please!! I always like seeing what they can do with a factory engine instead of just plopping something else in to get the POWWAA!! If they use wheels like that, imma steal em.. soo purdy.
