I read about how they might fit a 590hp bi-turbo V6 in it. Now that's something Koreans could be proud of. #hyundaigenesis

Looks like an anime version of the ZR1 #hyundaigenesis

But now this puts the car in a whole new light for me...
some kind of asian propaganda sent to the US to destroy all....

· R-Spec badging
· Tire Pressure Monitoring System
· Active front head restraints
· Remote keyless entry system
· Power windows (one-touch up and down), door locks and mirrors
However it would add one item:
· Cruise Control
Not a bad car overall though, but would've been even better if the price was $1-2k less.

My GenCoupe 2.0T GT is manual, and has cruise control. The way they chose to do it, you can even bump your speed up and down in increments of a few km/h with a switch on the steering wheel. #hyundaigenesiscoupe

I was once told that they were mutually exclusive and never bothered to think otherwise. But I don't use cruise anyway when I'm driving stick. #hyundaigenesiscoupe

The stock tires (Y-rated Hankook summer performance type in Canada) are also pretty awesome as long as there's absolutely no ice on the ground. Of course I don't have testing equipment to give you numbers, but it is quite easy to corner hard enough to pull your nose and lips to one side, lol...

The limitation is probably the turbo. It's small, so 18 psi is probably all you can get out of it.
I drive a Saab H-engine with similar setup (minus variable valve goodness) and output and it's a very smooth, quiet motor with lots of punch and about 75 hp of tuning potential (would be more if GM hadn't cheaped out on forged components). #hyundaigenesiscoupe

Although, being I've sworn off new cars, forever, it'd do me little-to-no good when beater-shopping.
I'd never, ever, choose Bluetool or cruise control, but I do want my trip computer and steering wheel stereo controls.
With this Hyundai, however, I wonder if a dealer-installed option is a fart cannon.
