And the results are in...197 WHP



Other things they found, peak torque is at 2500RPM, which to me seems very far down the rev band for a turbo

Plus there looks to be a few ways to increase the power without spending too much (just look at the photo of the exhaust!)

haha lol, we'll have to organise a meet there, that'd living it up for the people who are complaining lol

saw one on ebay in the US for only £10k... bargain :P

I dont think they are coming to the UK.

everyone off down to the importers

if they not bringin to uk, WHY??

I want one, think we need to find more info on this and act accordingly,

where can we get right hand drive imports from?. will it be on sale in japan?

Spurred on by massive interest in its Genesis Coupe Concept at the British International Motor Show, Hyundai UK is seriously considering importing a small number of the muscular 306bhp V6-engined coupes in left-hand drive format to sate local demand.

When will Hyundai decided to import the Genesis Coupe?
At the moment, test engineers from Hyundai’s UK headquarters are undertaking evaluation drives in the American and Korean versions of the Genesis Coupe to determine which models are best suited to the UK’s driving conditions, and studying the homologation issues such a import decision would raise.

'We took the Genesis Coupe to the Show in order to gauge reaction from an enthusiast audience - the response was overwhelmingly positive and has encouraged us to begin building a business plan around bringing this car to the UK,' Hyundai’s marketing director Andrew Cullis told CAR. 'There are still many financial and type-approval hoops to jump through, but we hope to be able to satisfy the demand in Britain for a high-quality, exceptionally stylish and sophisticated coupe.'

If Hyundai jumps through enough hoops we could see the 2+2 coupe arrive in left-hand drive within the next 18 months, priced around £27,000 – low enough to undercut Nissan’s 350Z and make it a proper performance bargain.


BUT that was in august...

The new Coupé has been developed for markets in the USA and Korea, and as yet, there are no plans to introduce a right hand drive evolution of the car. However company bosses in the UK are said to be monitoring the situation carefully, and if demand for the car is perceived to be strong enough, a small run of such machines could be built. As a result, the car will be on Hyundai’s show stand at this years London Motor Show in July.


from 17th March

we all REALLY need to get onto Hyundai... theyre awaiting to hear interest to determine whether it'll come over or not

I was told by a Hyundai dealer that the Hyundai Coupe will not be brought into the country after Christmas this year, could this mean that they are making room for the Genisis Coupe in the line up
