So basically a stripped out version of the 2.0T GT/Track
You save $3000 in the states and it's lighter
but you keep the brembos, LSD and the bigger wheels :)

However, at a savings of $3,000, you can guess that there are going to be some sacrifices. In the name of weight savings, Hyundai has dropped some of the creature comforts, such as the automatic headlights, cruise control, trip computer, chrome interior accents, steering wheel audio controls, and Bluetooth hands-free calling system. We're thinking this is more of a cost-saving measure, because none of these components really seem to weigh all that much.
Meanwhile, the stripped-out Genesis still retains heavier creature comforts such as air conditioning, power steering, a six-speaker audio system with iPod compatibility, and power windows.
The R-Spec is available only in red, black, and white and should start hitting dealerships this month
Damn did they really have to take out the trip computer? >.<
Personally this isn't bad for a daily since even though it's "stripped out" it's still got the same suspension and a/c so comfort-wise should be about the same unlike a GT3RS,
Whats your take? Would you rather have an extreme lightweight model with roll down windows, a/c delete, 18" wheels, no stereo etc.?
