Powertrain Upgrades, More Aggressive Design and Blue Link® Telematics Add Even More Appeal to Hyundai’s Rear-drive Sport Coupe

COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2012 – Hyundai Motor America has announced pricing for the refreshed 2013 Genesis Coupe, starting at $24,250 for the 2.0T model and $28,750 for the 3.8-liter R-Spec model. The Genesis Coupe now sports more aggressive coupe styling, striking a more menacing demeanor from every angle. Inside, the 2013 Genesis Coupe interior has been enhanced with distinctive, upscale features and design cues. To match more aggressive design, both 4-cylinder and V6 engines benefit from significant technology enhancements. The 3.8-liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine adds sophisticated direct-injection technology, with peak horsepower rising to 348 at 6,400 RPM, and peak torque increasing to 295 lb.-ft. on premium fuel. The 2.0-liter turbo now generates 274 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque on premium fuel. Automatic transmissions for these two models now have 8-speeds, with paddle-shift SHIFTRONIC® manual-shifting capability. The 2013 Genesis Coupe goes on sale in March.



In addition to powertrain and styling enhancements, Hyundai’s proprietary telematics platform, Blue Link®, is now available, providing Genesis Coupe owners with a variety of infotainment services to meet their individual connectivity needs.

Pretty damn expensive considering you van get a Camaro or mustang for far less and not be stuck with a 4 Banger

Pricing does seem a little steep, as long as the 4 cylinder turbo returns better mpgs than a v6 pony car I can see people going for them, but the V6 is a little much, you can get a V8 pony car for that coin. However should be a great performing car.
