Previously, at the L.A. Auto Show, Hyundai unveiled the Genesis Coupe, but people only got to see the exterior. Today, at the New York International Auto Show, Hyundai brought out a couple of actual working units. The 2010 Genesis Coupe will be available with a choice of two engines: a turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.8 liter V6. The four-cylinder will churn out an estimated 212 bhp on 87 octane gasoline and 223 bhp on 91 octane. The V6, which is an updated version of the company's Lambda engine (currently used in the Azera), will reportedly boast 306 bhp on regular gasoline and 310 bhp on premium.
The V6 model will beat the Ford Mustang GT as the most affordable sports car with 300+ bhp once it hits showrooms. Hyundai is also looking to have this model compete with the likes of the Infiniti G37. Meanwhile, the turbo four-cylinder is expected to be a hit with the tuner and drifting crowd.
