The Genesis Coupe is a true performance car, with power and handling to meet the needs of the driving enthusiast. The base engine is a 16 valve DOHC 2.0 litre turbocharged intercooled 4-cylinder that delivers 210 hp and 223 lb/ft of torque at a low 2,000 rpm.
The appearance of the Genesis puts it in a different league. It's wide body, powerful curves and tapered greenhouse are a nod to the more expensive Infinity G37 Coupe. One or the premium cars it was benchmarked against. It is easily the most attractive vehicle in the Hyundai lineup.
The base Coupe comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission (add $1500 for the optional automatic), along with 18-inch alloys and a full suite of safety and handling technologies that include six airbags, front active headrests, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brake force distribution, electronic stability control and traction control. The GT model enhances this capable coupe with such features as a Brembo braking package with red four piston calipers. 13.4 inch ventilated rotors in front and 13.0 inch in rear. GT calibrated suspension, front strut tower brace and big 19 inch aluminum alloys.
On the inside, you get air conditioning, six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CE/MP3 audio system with iPod and USB/aux input; Bluetooth hands free system with steering wheel controls; keyless entry; leather wrapped steering wheel with controls for audio, Bluetooth and cruise; power windows and locks, and more.
Exterior features include power heated mirrors, fog lights and wiper deicer... a lot of content for the money.
The 2.0 litre Coupe offers four more trim levels adding comfort, convenience and performance items.
Genesis is rear wheel drive, like a performance car should be!
The 3.8 Manual, the entry level for the V6 powered Genesis Coupe, offers some serious grunt performance. A six-speed manual transmission, the base unit, provides all the standard features found in the 2.0T Manual, and adds automatic climate control, black leather seats (heated in front), upgraded 10 speaker Infinity AM/FM/XM/MP3 audio system with 6-CD changer, smart key with push button start, auto leveling HID headlights, mirror mounted turn signals and power sunroof. You also get a touch screen navigation system with 6.5 inch display. For those who appreciate the performance of an Automatic Transmission, you can add the six speed automatic, paddle shifter. This controls the difficulty of trying to handle the clutch versus torque challenge. The traction control system is effective at keeping the wheels in check, bit it can be disabled at the push of a button for on-demand wheel-spin... or a little drifting around corners
The base unit also gets a Torsen (torque sensing) limited slip rear differential to better handle the power generated by it's all aluminum COHC 3.8 litre, 24 valve V6. It delivers an impressive 306 hp and 266 lb/ft of torque and can run on regular fuel.
Suspension for all Genesis Coupes is dual link Macpherson gas charged struts and stabilizer bar in rear.
First and foremost, this is a performance car... and as you would expect, gives flat corners, precise steering and considerable stiffness in it's ride.
This Car is yet another example of how far Hyundai has come in the past couple of decades...from building stout, value priced vehicles that blend in with the competition to those like the Genesis Coupe, that people are attracted to own.
