Hyundai releases tech specs on 2010 Genesis Coupe
Hyundai's headline figure for the 2.0-liter turbo-equipped Genesis coupe is 30 mpg. While we can't fault Hyundai for trying to hype the two-door's fuel efficiency, for us, there are more important numbers to look at. Primarily power and weight.
The 310 hp, 3.8-liter V6 model equipped with either a six-speed manual or auto 'box tips the scales at 3,402 pounds, and will be available in Grand Touring and Track models. The GT variant includes a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front thrones, navigation system, 360-watt stereo with 10 speakers, Smart Key, push-button start, Xenon HIDs, HomeLink with compass, heated mirrors, a back-up warning system and sunroof. The Track model ditches the rear-end nanny and chrome accents on the front fascia, and instead gets black leather seats, 19-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires (225/40 front, 245/40 rear), 13.4-inch front brakes squeezed by four-piston Brembo calipers and 13.0-inch rear discs clamped by four-piston units. A torsen-type LSD, 22mm rear sway bar, 25mm front sway bar and strut tower brace accompany higher-rate coil springs and shocks to round out the package. The turbocharged 2.0-liter Genesis Coupe comes in at 3,303 pounds, and is putting out 220 hp on premium fuel, with peak torque (223 lb.-ft.) arriving at 2,000 rpm. Transmission choices depend on which model you choose (six-speed manual or five-speed automatic), and range from the entry-level 2.0T variant to the 2.0T Premium, with the six-speed manual the only option cog-swapping on the 2.0T Track and 2.0T R-Spec. Vehicle Length Curb Weight (lbs.) Horsepower Power-to-weight ratio Genesis Coupe 3.8 182.3 3402 310 (est.) 11.0 BMW 335i 181.1 3571 300 11.9 Infiniti G37 183.1 3616 330 11.0 Camaro LS 190.4 3780 300 (est.) 12.6 Challenger 197.7 3819 250 15.3 Not going to touch Camaro SS LS3 - 9.15 lbs per hp More Here: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/30/h...genesis-coupe/ |

Yikes, tougher competition for the V6 than I thought. What's the price going to be?

It is nice. Rear wheel drive. Price is unknown, but the Genesis sedan starts at $32500.

Looks like the Camaro V6 has some darn good competition... cudos to Hyundai, on both the Genesis Coupe and Sedan.

It certainly looks like a Hyundai. I expect Hyundai will be working out lots of kinks with this one, being the company's first legitimate attempt at a serious performance machine.

More impressive than I thought it would be. I was under the impression of 600 lbs for the V6 version.
Problems I see? 30mpg in the base car...cool. But premium fuel??! I wonder how that will go over with customers. V6 has 310hp...nice. But I seriously expect this model to be quite pricey compared to a V6 Camaro... And...I think it looks WAY too bland. |

Never underestimate your competition. Just as GM outgrew their quality problems, Hyundai has outgrown theirs too.

Performance wise. It's going to be some serious competition for the V6 Camaro.
But it'll probably out-price the Camaro. They say a V6 with options will be in the 30s....

Yeah just the rumors....
Well from what I heard/read on the net the base is supposed to start around 22-23k (Camaro LS?) And 28, or 29 for the V6 possibly 30+ for a fully loaded one... (Camaro SS?) But personally I'd rather buy the 4cyl vs the V6, all that 4cyl will need is a tune, DP, CAI, turboback exhaust, and a few other mods and you're looking at 300hp plus... Especially seeing the 2.0L 4cyl's block is the same as the block used in the EVO...
