2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

[Nic85]

http://www.hyundai.com.au/About-Hyun...-Genesis-Coupe

3.8L V6 = 260kW/400Nm.
2.0L T4 = 204kW/370Nm.

6 speed manual or 8 speed auto. Standard LSD. RWD.

Discuss.

[MITCHAY]

Very nice

[boss54man]

will definitely be buying one.

[Kryton]

American Spec.
Doesnt mean those numbers are automatically for here.

[Nic85]

There's also the possibility of Hyundai using their 5L V8 down the track too. Their 5L V8 = 320kW/510Nm. Apparently they have supercharged their old 4.6L V8 too and used it in a demo car and it produced 340kW.

I'd say those numbers will be the same as we will get in Australia.

I like it, its a big step away from you see them produce, even better if it gets a V8. Might upset the local establishments even.

EcoLPI is a great engine - positive enough for you?

I think a hyundai or any car making 260kw from a v6 is amazing, thats more then aussie sixes, more then aussie sixes will ever make naturally aspirated, thats nothing to yawn over, thats better then even merc v6s and bmw inline 6s.

hyundai have gone quickly from a crappy cheap car maker, to a decent car maker with decent specifications, and are now quickly moving to serious performance machines, exceptional build quality, safety and luxury.

hyundai are offering the best warrenties of any car maker in some parts of the world.

at this rate, they will be producing cars better then the germans in 10 years.

that is nothing to yawn over. nothing to hate about either, if anything it is one of the great stories unfolding about passenger car companies.

Ford Australia has certainly never increased their standard by such leaps and bounds over their lifetime, they have just gone with the same recipe for ever, and are now suffering for that.

TBH, I wouldn't mind one in the driveway! More so if they do drop the Tau into it! ;)

[2011G6E]

Wow! They've come a long way haven't they...
I remember the first adverts for these new fangled litle cheap cars coming from Korea that I saw in an American science magazine called "OMNI" that I used to subscribe to back in the eighties. It had a picture of two houses, one with two Hyundai hatchbacks in the driveway with a price above each car of $4500, and next door was a typical large Yank car with a price above it of $11,000...it said something like "For less than the price of one large sedan, you can have one car got you and one for the wife".
It also told you the correct pronunciation of the name..."Hyundai - Rhymes with Sunday". However, from the start here in Australia they said it as "Hi-yun-di", but eventually they started saying it properly.

That's a damn nice looking coupe...

[XRFutura]

I have always like the genesis coupe, this updated one looks even better.

Ford better watch out, Hyundai now have Genesis and Genesis coupe, they're the Korean equivalent of Falcon and Mustang on one platform.
On top of the Korean version of Ecoboost 2.0 and 3,8 DI V6, they have the Tau 5.0 V8 producing 320 Kw and 510 nm......sounds familiar hey.

Just saying, unless Ford gets going, Hyundai may see a market for the large car and coupe in Australia and take it...
Can't have Falcon and Commodore dying in their sleep...

[Falc'man]

Overall shape is nice, looks quite racy, although the front-ends detail may take getting used to. Nice package, but price will make or break it.

As always, competition improves the breed so this is a positive, only because we know Ford won't ignore this sector.

[jixel 78]

Well we need SOMETHING to happen with V8 Supercar. If they race those I might get up early in October to watch Bathurst again. On second thoughts, maybe not.

The Genesis coupe has been a big hit in America for years. Australia is only just going to get it next year, and it's about time.

320kW, RWD, 6 speed manual, 1500kg coupe = giddy up.

I sincerely hope that this will prod Dearborn to get going with global Mustang with affordable RHD version...

Prices in the US are 22k up to 29k for the V6 R spec

The Falcon sized genesis sedan has the 5.0 V8 available in high series and starts around US$45,000
but it weighs around 1850 Kgs so it will be interesting to see whether Hyundai looks further a field...

[Franco Cozzo]

Any idea on pricing? I'm guessing $70K?

[LightingBA]

Now thats a nice car. Wonder what the price would be?

[Nic85]

$70k will be too much. No idea how Nissan get away with charging that amount for a 370Z.

I would say mid $40's for the 2L turbo, and low $50's maybe for the V6. But who knows.

As said above, the base Genesis is the states costs $22k with the 2L turbo, right up to $31k for the V6 track edition. The 2L turbo weighs 1494kgs for the 6 speed manual, and the V6 weighs 1537kgs for the 6 speed manual.

Just as an example, the Nissan 370Z in America starts at $32k and goes right up to $42k.

RRP =! Price you buy one for.

My 370z was $61k brand new (RRP $74k)

This would want to be under $50k for the V6, given the small amount of numbers that get sold of this sort of car, and what you can buy the competition for.

Go for a drive in one and it will become more obvious.

I understand what you're saying, and I certainly don't want to come across as irascible, I guess I'm just a bit spoiled from my previous car ownership. I drove a brand new Evo X MR back in 2009 and didn't think it was worth anywhere near the $75k asking price.

To me, a 350Z/370Z is just an overweight, slow hairdressers car. Again, not meaning to be querulous, just stating my opinion.

You mean the car that in the 2008 BFYB was quicker around Wakefield than everything with a Ford or FPV badge (inc FG GT & F6) logging the same lap time as a HSV GTS?

Just wondering what you drive that has spoiled you?

Edit: Doesn't matter I looked it up in your history, VW Passat Diesel

VW Passat diesel? Nah. I drove one of those before I bought my ASX.

No, the car I was talking about was an Evo 8 MR.

Like I said, not being cantankerous.

[Franco Cozzo]

What was the Tiburon sold at when it was new? They where nice looking cars, a bit slow though and rough engine.

Maybe it'll come in at a similar price point.

[LeadFoot81]

Very nice. Fomoco would be crazy to not global with the 'Stang.

[Luke Plaizier]

Shazam. 260kW for an Atmo 3.8 V6?

Man, that thing must be seriously peaky. I do like though. I'd consider if it were in the mid 30's driveaway - but I suspect I'm dreamin'.
