INTERIOR DESIG

For 2011, Genesis Coupe features several interior upgrades tha
reflect Hyundai's commitment to craftsmanship and high-qualit
materials. The instrument panel is crafted in a seamless, soft-touc
skin fully encompassing new dark metalgrain trim. Softer leather no
wraps the steering wheel and padding has been added to the doo
armrests for increased comfort. The A-pillars are now covered in
premium fabric to match the roof liner. New information scree
graphics enhance appearance and readability and the finish of th
controls has also been enhanced

"The interior upgrades, our hot new 3.8 R-Spec model, and revise
lineup of six focused models show that Hyundai is meeting the demand
of our customers," said Scott Margason, director, produc
planning, Hyundai Motor America. "The upgraded interior is
great illustration of how Hyundai continually raises its own hig
benchmarks for quality.
2011 Genesis Coup

The 2011 Genesis Coupe is a purpose-built rear-wheel drive sport coup
featuring two performance-focused engines – a 210-horsepower
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a range-toppin
all-aluminum, 306-horsepower, DOHC 3.8-liter V6 engine

GENESIS COUPE HIGHLIGHT

* 306-horsepower from enhanced 3.8-liter V6 from Genesis seda
* 210-horsepower turbocharged, intercooled inline four cylinde
* Platform-mate and sinister sibling of the Car of the Year-winnin
Genesis seda

Genesis Coupe is Hyundai's most dynamic performance car, appealin
directly to the true driving enthusiast. Genesis Coupe uses the sam
flexible rear-wheel drive architecture developed for the Genesi
sport sedan

POWERTRAIN

Two engines infuse Genesis Coupe with performance. The 3.8-lite
Lambda DOHC V6 engine delivers 306-horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. o
torque on regular unleaded. This engine will launch the Genesis Coup
from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. To maximize the powe
band, the 3.8-liter engine utilizes DCVVT and a new Variable Intak
System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe more efficiently at bot
low and high RPM. The better-breathing results in outstandin
off-the-line acceleration, passing performance and remarkable fue
efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads fo
lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable timin
chains with no scheduled maintenance

The turbocharged, intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC inline four-cylinde
benefits from Dual CVVT on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Th
2.0-liter turbo generates 210-horsepower and 223 lb.-ft. of torque. I
also features a cast-aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head. Bot
engines feature a free-flowing dual cat-back exhaust and an availabl
Torsen® limited-slip differential to put the power to the ground

SPORT-TUNED SUSPENSIO

Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson® strut dual-link front suspension
and a five-link independent rear suspension setup.The front
suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe which is
lighter and stronger than a multi-piece component would be. To help
reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe's at-the-limit handling
for maximum predictability, 24-mm diameter front and 19-mm diameter
rear stabilizer bars are used.

While all Genesis Coupe models offer a sporty and involving driving
experience, the high-performance Genesis Coupe R-Spec and 3.8 Track
models are the most willing partners for the true enthusiast. The
track-tuned suspension features a stiffer front spring rate, stiffer
rear spring rate and unique shock valving. The Genesis Coupe R-Spec
and 3.8 Track models deliver a substantial increase in roll control
over standard versions of the Genesis Coupe. Superb structural
rigidity sets the foundation for precisely-tuned handling performance
in all Genesis Coupes.

TRANSMISSIONS

Both engines are mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission.
The Genesis Coupe 2.0T offers an optional five-speed automatic with
SHIFTRONIC® while the 3.8-liter V6 offers a ZF® six-speed automatic
transmission with SHIFTRONIC to handle the additional torque. Both
automatic transmissions feature steering-wheel-mounted paddle
shifters.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS

Brembo four-piston calipers clamp down on 13.4-inch ventilated front
brake rotors and 13-inch ventilated rear rotors on R-Spec and 3.8
Track models. All other models get substantial 12.6-inch front
ventilated rotors and 12.4-inch rotors in the rear with floating
single-piston calipers.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

The 2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track offers Xenon high-intensity discharge
(HID) headlights. The advantages of HID headlamps include greater
lighting power, daylight-type lighting and reduced power
consumption.

Music lovers will welcome the 2011 Genesis Coupe's standard auxiliary
input jacks (3.5 mm mini-jack and USB input) to accommodate and
charge audio devices such as iPods®. There is an optional in-dash
navigation unit with a multi-gauge information display screen. This
system provides new features including Bluetooth streaming audio
capability. This easy-to-use unit can be controlled via 6.5-inch WVGA
touchscreen or voice-recognition by headliner-mounted microphone.

SEGMENT-LEADING SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES

In keeping with Hyundai's focus on offering segment-leading standard
safety technologies across its lineup, the 2011 Genesis Coupe
includes a wide range of both active and passive safety features.
Standard safety technologies include driver and front passenger
advanced frontal airbags, along with front seat-mounted side airbags,
side air curtains and active front head restraints.

All Genesis Coupe models feature standard four-channel ABS with
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake
performance under various dynamic loading conditions. The system also
includes Brake Assist, which provides maximum ABS-level braking force
when a panic stop is detected.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC), one of the industry's most
effective life-saving technologies, is standard in all Genesis Coupe
models.

WEIGHT EFFICIENCY

"One of the program targets for the Genesis engineering team was
world-class weight efficiency," Margason said. "When you
look at the size and content of both Genesis models, you'll find we
lead all our competitors in weight efficiency. We also target
leadership in power-to-weight ratio. We think that's just smart
strategy in today's world. It pays huge dividends in both performance
and fuel economy, and that's especially important in the segments in
which these cars compete."

Vehicle Engine Curb Weight (lbs.) Length (inches)
Genesis sedan 3.8-liter V6 3,748 195.9
Genesis sedan 4.6-liter V8 4,012 195.9
Genesis Coupe 2.0-liter turbo 3,294 182.3
Genesis Coupe 3.8-liter V6 3,389 182.3

Both Genesis Coupe and sedan are rich in ultra-high-strength steel,
leading to world-class body rigidity. The Genesis sedan is 10-12
percent stiffer in torsion than its Lexus and Mercedes-Benz
competitors, yet it is lighter than these benchmark sedans, and
offers more interior room. At just 3,294 pounds, the Genesis Coupe
2.0T is hundreds of pounds lighter than all of its IRS-equipped
rear-wheel drive competitors, with body-bending rigidity 24 percent
higher than the BMW E46 M3.

Curb Weight Power-to-weight
Vehicle Length (inches) (lbs.) Horsepower ratio
Genesis Coupe 3.8 182.3 3389 306 11.1
BMW 335i 181.1 3560 300 11.9
Infiniti G37 183.1 3627 330 11.0
Camaro LS 190.4 3780 304 12.4
Challenger 197.7 3819 250 15.3

This focus on weight efficiency pays dividends across the board. The
Genesis sedan owes its ability to deliver both strong performance
(0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds) and excellent fuel economy (25 mpg EPA
highway rating) in great part due to its impressive weight
efficiency. Similarly, the Genesis Coupe 2.0T sets a high fue
efficiency bar with a remarkable 30 mpg estimated EPA highway rating
because of its weight-efficient platform and its efficient 2.0-liter
low-pressure, turbocharged four-cylinder engine
