If the GenCoupe gets this 5.0L, I WILL be trading in.
The 4.6L (385 hp) made estimated 460hp with a supercharger. What would a 5.0L with 429hp make on a s/c? shoot for 500 Hyundai!!
On a much smaller level of displacement, Hyundai also detailed a new 1.0-liter Kappa inline three-cylinder engine that will be offered in other markets in the new i10 subcompact. Currently, this engine produces 69 horsepower and returns around 55 miles per gallon on the United States testing cycle. And while this 1.0-liter engine currently isn't slated for consumption here in the States, future versions of the Kappa engine could come to our shores. Hyundai says that we'll see a turbocharged, 110-hp version of the 1.0-liter three in 2012, and that a turbocharged 1.2-liter Kappa will be released shortly thereafter. The 1.2T is estimated to produce around 130 to 140 hp, making it more suitable for American-sized vehicles.
a 1.2T making 130-140hp could be getting some seriously good mpg. No reason to have a 1.2T other than shooting for high mpg. It would have to get significantly better mileage than the Sonata 2.0T for Hyundai to focus on smaller engine.

They complained about fitment, but I think they should force it in a Gen coupe with a modified firewall. Just force that basterd in there!
