In 2009, Hyundai introduced the 2010 Genesis Coupe, a rear-wheel-drive sports car available with a 3.8-liter V6 rated at 306 horsepower and 266 lb-ft or an entry-level turbocharged 2.0-liter four, and offered with a Hyundai six-speed manual or a ZF six-speed automatic.
The 3.8-liter Lambda V6 uses all-aluminum construction, dual overhead cams, and continuously variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust; it is tuned to run on 87-octane fuel with an estimated economy of 17 city/26 highway.
Transmission choices include a Hyundai-sourced six-speed manual that utilizes a sporty 3.54 final drive and a ZF six-speed automatic, and the Genesis Coupe is built at Hyundai’s Ulsan, Korea assembly plant.
Hyundai positions the Genesis Coupe as its most performance-oriented model to date, aiming to compete in the rear-drive sports-car segment with 300-plus horsepower and aggressive styling.
