| Hyundai working on Supercharged Genesis Coupe
wsupercharged3.8lv6genesiscoupebwpriddy3[2].jpg Supercharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe in the works Quote:
We're big fans of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe here at Autoblog. We're also fans of vehicles that find ways to make our driving experience more exciting in any way possible. And while it would be nice to see Hyundai plop its 5.0-liter V8 engine under the hood of the Genesis coupe, there is little chance of that ever happening. (Probably for good reason, too.) Still, that doesn't mean more power can't be had, and spy photographers have captured a possible solution lurking under the hood of a Genesis prototype.
It looks like Hyundai is simply going to stick with its 3.8-liter V6 as the range-topping engine, albeit, with a bit of supercharged force added on. What you are looking at could very well be a Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec that's indeed fitting of its extra nomenclature. The supercharger should help push the standard 3.8-liter output of 306 horsepower (333 hp in the 2012 Genesis sedan) up closer to a figure that will have Mustang GT drivers checking their mirrors
| Hyundai has really stepped up their game, although what im really hoping for is the new 270 hp turbo 4 in the new gen coupe

This is why Honda and Toyota are failing the younger generation. Who really wants a CR-Z or an underpowered FT-86. Posted via RS Mobile | |

CR-Z is fail, people say they should've just put K20, not hybrid..
Also if you look at reviews, the Hyundai Veloster get better gas milage on highway than the CR-Z.  | |
