  A new king of the drifters?


Quote »
hyundai revealed its Genesis Coupe concept at the Los Angeles auto show on Wednesday, but development work on the rear-wheel-drive two-door and its flagship sedan sibling are well on the way to production.

The production coupe debuts next spring at the New York show and will arrive in dealerships in spring 2009 as a 2010 model. The production sedan bows at the Detroit show in January and goes on sale in mid-2008 as an '09.

In an interview at the Los Angeles show, Hyundai product planning chief John Krafcik cleared up a number of details surrounding the Korean automaker's future top-end models:


<LI type=square>The coupe will not get the 4.6-liter 350-hp V8 slated for the sedan. The primary coupe engine is a 3.8-liter, 300-hp-plus, 250-lb-ft V6. Krafcik confirmed that the coupe will also come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four producing in excess of 200 hp--giving Hyundai the only four-cylinder rear-wheel-drive coupe in the market. The company already has its sights set on the drift market, a group still enamored with the dynamics of the four-cylinder, rear-drive Nissan 240SX last built in the 1990s. The four-cylinder coupe, equipped with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic, should start in the low $20,000 range.

heres a video of it from la autoshow 2007:

Looks sharp, almost a cross between the LEXUS IS250 front and a Z33 rear.

I love how the car is on low profiles and slammed knowing damn well the production model with run ridiculously skinny wheels and 4x4 action.

You must be looking at different tail lights than me. I don't see any 350Z in the Hyundai's rear.

yes it is a fair hyundai. win/win situation between the two trim levels, i bet if toyota sold the tc rwd it would be a tad more popular with not only fat chicks with low self esteem but drifty kids as well
