Hyundai showed off the first hints at its rear-wheel drive Coupe with the Genesis Coupe Concept at the LA Show recently. This car will be rear-wheel craven, and boast a six-speed manual transmission and a limited slip differential. That’s serious kit. The Coupe’s hype stems form the fact that it is supposed to replace the front-wheel drive Tiburon as the sporty coupe in the line come 2009. Hyundai promises a tuned 3800cc V6 (from the Veracruz) with more than 300bhp and 34 kgm on offer, translating to a sub-six second 100 kph time. Hyundai also promised, according to reports, an entry-level version of the Coupe with a turbocharged four-cylinder motor. Looks like anyone who still refuses to take Hyundai’s as seriously as the European/ American car brands is going to have to eat their words. And Hyundai tyresmoke.
