HKS Hyundai Genesis

[sleepydsm]

I saw this and thought, wow, that looks good!

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=7053

I'm actually interested in this car, and how I'd want it:

2.0L turbo (same as the Evo, omfg interchangeble parts!)
RWD
6spd manual
Brembos
Limited slip
You can turn ESP off completely!
...and its gonna start at $22,000

looks bad ass

[hippiekiller]

Not a fan of the front or sideskirts, but yeah...I'd rock it.

[JET]

Very nice.

[turbotalon1g]

Nice, the only way i could make a 4G63 powered car my all purpose vehicle.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, the bodykit sucks, as do all of them. But this looks like a sweet platform.

It's not the 4g63 though I don't think. Read somewhere it was the 4b11t or whatever the heck the Evo X engine is.

[scheides]

Yes, no 4G63, that motor is dead to OEMs now

Having the 4B11T in multiple platforms will really improve the breed IMHO, I've been waiting for this car to come out for a while now!

Still, RWD + MN = Meh...

It is not a Mitsu motor at all. It will be running the Elantre 2.0L DOHC

[brando]

i dig it

[Halon]

Definately cool. Brian, any idea on how those motors hold up? Open deck block?

[A//// Guy]

Thats pretty cool actually!

[sleepydsm]

I have read it is the new world engine, the GEMA engine, or whatever. Same engine in the Caliber SRT4, pretty sure the evo, and other such cars (I think)

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

ew, performance-wise it's cool. I bet it still feels mega cheap like a Hyundai and its stealing the IS350 look.. meh. Good job, first Jaguar, Bentley's and now a wanna-be ISx50 looking car? ha.

Do you have a link to the info? All I know is when I was out at Hyundai Corp. they said multiple times it is going to be a boosted Elantra 2.oL DOHC

Wouldn't suprise me if the changed thier minds though. Or are changing the Elantra platform.

I fixed it for ya I'd definatly rock one of these

[95talonracer]

I heard something about this a while ago but thats it until now. Looks like it could be a very fun car! I would drive it.

[JustROLLIN]

Hot looking car IMO. And I thought those were just rumors about it having the EVO 4B11T in it?

No IS there, that's all G37.

[sleepydsm]

DaimlerChrysler, Hyundai, and Mitsu all got together and formed/made the GEMA. Global Engine Manufactures Association. They combined all their strengths to make a four banger that will be amazing. There are variations, but they are all based on the same design.

I can't find any where it specificallys says the 4B11T, in fact no where I've looked mentions and specific code or type. I can only assume, and logically guess, its a 4B11T.

If it IS, hello interchangeble parts.

Because this car is based on the 4 door V8 Genesis Sedan, Hyundai IS NOT ruling out a possible V8 model or maybed even a forced induction V6. (I got this info from the Q&A section of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe site).

I don't know why a tuner type person would want the N/A v6 anyways...
