At the heart of the story are two performance-focused engines: The range-topping, all aluminum 310 horsepower (premium fuel), 306 horsepower (regular fuel), DOHC 3.8-liter V6 Lambda RS. The base engine will be the 223 horsepower (premium fuel), 210 horsepower (regular fuel) 2.0-liter turbocharged Theta.
Based on the highly successful Lambda V-6 first introduced in 2004, the high performance RS edition (Racing Sport) of the Lambda features several key modifications which have raised power to a maximum of 303ps@6300rpm (306 horsepower for US market) and peak torque to 36.8kg/m@4700rpm enabling the Genesis Coupe to catapult from zero to 100km/h in just 6.3 seconds. The Lambda RS features all-aluminum construction, Dual CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) on both the intake and exhaust valves and a revised intake system.
For economy, Hyundai offers the Theta 2.0-liter inline four cylinder engine with a turbocharger for excellent performance. Maximum power is rated 210ps @ 6000rpm (210 horsepower for US market) while peak torque is 30.5kg-m @ 2000rpm (30.8kg-m for US market), sufficient to propel the car from 0-100km/h in just 8.3 sec. Like the V-6, the Theta employs a Dual CVVT system plus a piston oil cooling jet which is positioned under each cylinder to deliver improved cooling and better fuel efficiency.

The GK Tib V6 manual does 0-60 in around 7 seconds. Barely slower than the Gen Coupe V6 and a hell of a lot quicker than the Gen coupe 2.0t stock. WEAK.
For comparison, the G37 does it in 4.9 seconds, the 350z does it in 5.4, and the Mustang GT does it in 5.1.
WEAK
This had better turn out to be untrue, because if not there's no way in hell I would buy the Genesis coupe unless I wanted to sink enough money into the powertrain to make it competitive immediately.

I think they are low on their figures. That one magazine got one to go much faster. Most auto manufactures give low times. Thats also to 62 miles and hour, it doesnt seem like much, but drop at least a tenth off of each time.
I think its just bad figures, like their test driver cant drive, or their course runs up hill. Ill wait for the magazines to test before I see numbers that I will believe.
