    Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec

    This looks like an interesting new commer, looks like it's got straight line performance to topple even the new AJ OPC as well as alot of other hi po types...

    Wonder how well or not this Hyundai will do here in Aust.

    They're doing well O/S I've seen quite a few modded right out on various U.S forums that look pretty good...

    Your link doesn't work
    Use this LINK

    Saw this article on another site the other day. Nice specs, but reminds me of the Toyota86 / Suby BRZ... not sure I like it...

    yeah, i think on the normal PC version site, the fullstop is missing at the end of the linked URL... adding it to the end after clicking on it makes it work.. Click here to enlarge

    Re: Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec

    Agree with everyone so far, it doesn't win me in the looks department, and I think the shape is based on the Toyota/ subaru but it has design ideas from the veloster which I really am not a fan of.

    Apologies for the link guys I copied it straight off the carsales site and it works ok for me on my computer...

    I'm not a fan of this vehicle but it's specs are very interesting and as said it'll hose alot of other well established hi po cars out there, Hyundai are clearly moving up...

    Also some of the modfied ones I've seen in the U.S look real good when I get a chance I'll post up some pics, incase links don't work.

    Jonski it is coming to Aust. according to the article...

    If it's anything like most Hyundais (including my iLoad), straight line performance would be okay (until the engine s**ts itself) and it'll handle like a sack of spuds. Doing this all whilst it looks about as ugly as a hat full of a***holes.

    RWD or not, I'd still take any OPC over this anyday.

    The next Genesis coupe will, but the facelifted current model has only been recently released. So, you are looking 2yrs at the earliest for our market.
    In no way is it a competitor to the 86. Too heavy/powerful for that.
