HATCI and team Magnuson supercharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Hyundai has announced a pilot based on the Genesis Coupe already fast for the SEMA show this year. The fully functional prototype has a 450 hp version of the original, 3.8 V6, a differential intelligent, six pots Brembos on the front suspension and a Nürburgring-developed. In addition to partnering with products Magnuson, Rhys Millen Racing (DPR) and International Torvec, Harmon International has provided the high-end system Lexicon sound to cool the interior.

Apart from some Katzkin leather seats, details are scarce on the inside. The focus is on pushing the performance envelope as described by Terry Peddicord, director of sales, America Technical Centre for Hyundai, "One of the many exciting aspects of this project is that Genesis is not hurricane SC just a pretty face for the show circuit, but it's a lab rat who works hard will push the limits of this car and the entire vehicle segment. "

Hyundai has worked with TMR not only to improve aerodynamics, but to show the claims of the sports car: the bumper, grille, valance, side skirts and rear spoiler are all new additions. Appearance in the ring, LED headlights and taillights are provided by Flyride.

At least for some of us, the most interesting changes are mechanical: Bilstein monotube shocks, a SPEC-powered aluminum steering wheel and the second stage clutch, fuel filter and higher flow injectors DeatschWerks, oil PermaCool, chiller diff, steering fluid cooler and a CPR manufacturing oil filter adapter.
Hyundai seems to be just an effort to push the mechanical improvements, some of the pieces will be on the floor for the SEMA show to interact with viewers.
