What you will see over in Hyundai’s area at the sprawling SEMA appearance in Las Vegas next anniversary is the firm’s aboriginal rear-wheel drive coupe, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, arguably its sportiest automotive access to date. What you will not see is the acute engineering that includes advanced use of high-strength animate to accumulate the coupe’s barrier weight able-bodied beneath its competitors while acceptance torsional acerbity that they affirmation is even bigger than, say, the E46 BMW M3 (interesting that they analyze with the last-gen M3). Still, that’s no baby claim, and a far cry from the aggressive set claimed by the antiquated old front-drive Scoupe.

Just how abundant lighter is the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto than its competitors? Using the top achievement 3.8 archetypal as a agency of comparison, which Hyundai affirmation weighs 3,402 lbs, the abutting in weight is the 2009 BMW 335i, which tips the scales at 169 pounds added than the Genesis. True, the 335 is a twin-turbo powerhouse, but by the numbers the Genesis Auto 3.8 makes 10 added application than the BMW, and sprints to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds, not too far off the achievement of BMW’s allegorical coupe. Other competitors counterbalance even more: 2009 Infiniti G37 – 3,616 lbs, 2010 Camaro LS – 3,780 lbs, 2009 Dodge Challenger SE – 3,819 lbs. And all of the competitors aloft (including the BMW) accept a lower power-to-weight arrangement than the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto 3.8′s of 11.0. They don’t allocution torque in this comparison, or at what RPM the Genesis’ adherent accumulated 3.8-liter V-6 makes its advantageous 310 horsepower, and those nuances are what acquiesce both the BMW and Infiniti to out-accelerate Hyundai’s claimed 0-60 mph times. Still, at the Genesis Coupe’s apparently bashful amount point, this is an absorbing achievement story.

Light weight aswell pays assets in ammunition economy, a big application for shoppers appropriate now. The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto 3.8 will administer a 25 mpg EPA artery rating, while the abject 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto 2.0T garnered a 30 mpg EPA artery rating. We abundant the 3.8-liter’s centralized modifications for antic Auto assignment recently, but the 2.0-liter turbo four was purpose-built for Genesis Auto duty. Its light-pressure turbo spools up bound (peak torque of 223 ft-lb accessible at 2,000 rpm), yields 220 hp, and employs continuously capricious valve timing on both bankrupt and assimilation camshafts to advance the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto 2.0T to a top acceleration of 137 mph. Notably, both 2.0T and 3.8 models may be run on approved unleaded gasoline, and on 87 octane the 2.0T makes 210 hp and the 3.8 makes 306 hp.

Both 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupes appear accepted with a six-speed chiral transmission. Optional is a 5-speed automated with the 2.0T, a 6-speed auto for the 3.8. Trim levels are as follows: 2.0T, 2.0T Premium, 2.0T Track (6-speed chiral only), 2.0T R-Spec, 3.8, 3.8 Grand Touring, and 3.8 Track.

In its final advance to ambit its new, austere sportster from the abominable Excel of the aphotic econocar canicule of the 80s, Hyundai wants you to apperceive you may blanket your graceful 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto in the afterward colors: Bathurst Black, Silverstone, Nordschleife Gray, Acqua Minerale Blue, Tsukuba Red, Mirabeau Blue, Lime Rock Green, or Interlagos Yellow. In advertence the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Auto with acclaimed antagonism circuits (and even betraying chicanes) in Australia, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Monaco, Connecticut, and Brazil, respectively, Hyundai is authoritative a able affirmation about the achievement of its aboriginal rear-wheel drive achievement coupe. Let’s just achievement they got the abeyance affability bigger than its adequate platform-mate, the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan.–Colin Mathews
