ARK Performance and Hyundai Tune Up Genesis Coupe for 2010 SEMA Show


The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is no stranger to the SEMA Show; tuned versions of the South Korean carmaker's two-door sports were present at both the 2008 and 2009 Shows. Now, Hyundai has teamed up with ARK Performance Inc. to produce the ARK Track Time Attack Genesis Coupe 3.8L V6 show car that will make its debut at the Las Vegas 2010 SEMA Show in the beginning of November.

Featuring production-ready custom parts that will soon be available to consumers, the ARK / Genesis Coupe incorporates modifications to the engine, brakes, wheels and suspension, as well as upgrades to the exterior and interior. ARK's goal was to tweak the Genesis Coupe's standard 306 hp (228 kw) 3.8 L V6 to a sweet 450 hp (336 kw).

Ted Lee, owner, ARK Performance Inc., comments on the project:

"The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is the ideal car for enthusiasts with its strong performance characteristics and dynamic design. The ARK Track Time Attack Genesis Coupe SEMA car demonstrates the ways tuners can improve the performance of their own Genesis Coupe."

A full list of upgrades is available at the end of this article, but here is the short and sweet version:

The ARK Track Time Attack Genesis Coupe will get new con rods, supercharger with intercooler, hi-flow intake valve and an ECU tune. It will also get a new exhaust with dual downpipes. To reign in this monster are big ol' Brembo brakes and a modified suspension setup including front and rear sway bars, front strut and power bracing.

Inside there is iPad integration, an Infinity Sound System, new gauges, racing seats with harnesses and a roll cage. Meanwhile there are new bumpers, side skirts, rear diffuser, rear wing and a carbon fibre hood and grille on the outside.

As promised, below is the full list of upgrades.

Hyundai Releases Pricing for its 2011 Genesis Coupe Lineup, Including New 3.8 R-Spec


Hyundai has decided it's time to share its 2011 Genesis Coupe pricing with the masses. With a few mild upgrades for 2011, including more softness on the inside, the Genesis Coupe lineup gains some extra cred in the form of a new entry-level R-Spec 3.8.

The R-Spec 3.8 comes equipped with 306-horsepower V6 connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and its suspension has been "sport-tuned" to handle putting its 266 lb-ft to the ground through the rear wheels. For all the extra specs, check out our previous post here. If you're not keen on that, all you need to know is that it's the cheapest V6 rear-wheel drive Hyundai option out there and has lost 68 pounds of flab in getting to that point.

According to Hyundai, the base V6 model can also be optioned with dealer-installed front camber-adjustment bolts and only be available in white, black, yellow, and red.

The 3.8 R-Spec joins the middle of the lineup as the new entry-level V6 model, starting at $26,750 (about €20,800). For comparison, the base 2011 Genesis Coupe with a 6-speed and a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder will start at $22,250 (around €17,300), and the top-end 3.8 Track model with an automatic begins adding options at $32,250.

VIDEO: Rhys Millen's 775HP Hyundai Genesis PM850 Pikes Peak Racer in Action


Back in April, we shared the first details on Rhys Millen's Hyundai Genesis PM850 racer that will compete in this year's Pike Peak Hill Climb on Sunday, June 27. Now it's time to give you a taste of the insane race car in action during testing.

The Genesis PM850 is motivated by a heavily modified Hyundai Lambda V6 engine bored out to 4.1 liters and fitted with an HKS turbocharger, intercooler, and a unique exhaust system for a total output of 775HP and 750 lb-ft of torque. All that power is sent to all four wheels through a Weismann semi-automatic AWD transmission. Hit the jump to watch the two videos.




Hyundai Previews GReddy Prepped Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo with 350HP Ahead of SEMA Show

In less than a month's time, the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas will play host to all things aftermarket including an array of specially tuned models such as the "GReddy X Gen Street Genesis Coupe". Working in conjunction with Hyundai, the folks over at GReddy are preparing a modified version of the entry-level Genesis Coupe with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Japanese tuner's goal is to increase output from 210HP and 223 lb-ft of torque to 350HP and 320 lb-ft with a 0-60mph time under six seconds.

Mechanically, the Genesis Coupe benefits from an upgraded turbo, a large front-mounted intercooler kit, a SE Spectrum Elite cat-back exhaust system, MX racing downpipe, Type-S fully adjustable coil-over suspension, six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers and various other mods.

In terms of styling, GReddy offerings will include an lip spoiler, carbon fiber hood, rear wing, Volk Racing G2 alloy wheels shod in Toyo performance tires plus special graphics.

The coupe's interior will feature a set of Sparco racing seats, modified gauges, boost controller and a turbo timer as well as a remote switching system.

According to GReddy, all of the parts designed for the Genesis Coupe show car are planned to be released as a production kit while the firm also plans to make additional engine modifications, pushing output closer to 500 HP.





2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe: R-Spec Model Announced, Coupe's Pricing Starts from $22,000

At the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, Hyundai not only announced pricing for its Genesis Coupe, but the Korean automaker also announced a new 'trimmed down' version of its rear-wheel-drive sportscar called "R-Spec". The latter is based on the 210HP 2.0-liter Turbo version of the Genesis Coupe and it is designed to appeal to enthusiasts who want a low starting price and the ability to tune their car to their own specifications.

When the Genesis Coupe begins to arrive at Hyundai dealerships later in the month, $22,000 will get you into a fairly well-equipped 210-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine 2.0T model while $25,000 is the asking price for a base, 306-horsepower, 3.8-liter, V6 engine model.

The Genesis Coupe R-Spec that is priced at $23,750 or $3,000 less than the 2.0T Track model, adds a series of performance orientated goodies such as track-tuned suspension, 19-inch gunmetal-finish alloy wheels with performance summer tires, Brembo braking system, Torsen limited-slip differential, and R-Spec badging.

In order to keep the price low and at the same time, reduce weight, Hyundai eliminated some non-essential comfort features like the Bluetooth, automatic headlights, cruise control, trip computer, chrome interior accents and steering wheel audio controls. The R-Spec will be available in three exteriors colors: Karussell White, Bathurst Black and Tsukuba Red.
