Hyundai Genesis Coupe Race Car at the SEMA Show 2010

Hyundai teamed up with Gogogear Racing to develop a high performance racing car, which will be unveiled at the 2010 SEMA Show. It is based on Genesis Coupe, and the racing version offers great reliability and high-end performance capabilities. Additionally, the bright yellow paint scheme was designed in conjunction with Hyundai's California Design Center.

"The Genesis Coupe is designed to convey that Hyundai can not only match the best from Asia, Europe and America, but beat them,", comments Ali Arsham, owner, Gogogear Racing.

"With its potent V6 engine and rear drive chassis, the Genesis Coupe has the ability to beat the current top guns that feature turbocharged four-cylinder engines and front wheel drive. It has ample power, terrific handling, and great reliability that become even more potent with the modifications we've planned.", Arsham added.

The racing version of Genesis Coupe will take a part in the U.S. Touring Car Championships in 2011.

Hyundai Genesis coupe is powered by 3.8 liter V6 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and RWD.
