I want to know how they managed to get 300lbs/ft of torque and 290hp out of an I4. Don't I4s usually have a much higher horsepower to torque ratio? Is there some kind of horsepower restriction similar to the Japanese gentleman's agreement or did they limit it for fuel economy or what?

300Nm maybe is your answer?

No, the info sheet says 40kg/m which is about 300lb/ft.

Anyway, I photoshopped the front of the thing to how I would prefer it to look. 1st pic is the original, 2nd is the fascia mod, and I also modded one of the headlights a bit on the last one. Gives it a more aggressive look. What do all of you think?



 
I think it would look best with the concept's body kit, but an interesting headlight design. I think it makes the bonnet look too long though.

Is this the first RWD Hyundai Korean muscle car or did they do them before? Imagine how you can drift the Genesis coupe. It's still a Hyundai, but it's the good thing that Hyundai has impressed us. It's very nice.

It is the first, but with no V8 it's hardly a muscle car.
 
BT-> Okey, back on the Gencoupe:

Today is the day reservations become available for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Korea. To celebrate, Hyundai has released a new commercial which you can watch after the break. Those placing orders now should begin taking possession of their new two-door, rear-wheel drive coupe on September 26. Pricing for the new hotness from Hyundai is very reasonable for the Korean market with a base price of 25,360,000 WON (about U.S. $23,000). Stepping up to the "Stylish Pack" (seriously?) nets you 19-inch rims, a limited slip diff and optional Brembo's for 26,920,000 WON (U.S. $24,500). Well worth it in our estimation. A loaded 3.8-liter V6 Genesis Coupe will go for 33,150,000 WON (U.S. $30,100), which buys you over 300-horsepower and a full leather interior.

Hit the jump for a full rundown of pricing and options for the Coupe in Korea. According to our tipster, the Genesis sedan with the 3.8-liter V6 is selling for about $70K in its home market. This being the case, it's pretty hard to draw any conclusions as to what this means for U.S. Genesis Coupe pricing when it goes on sale sometime in 2009. We can hardly wait.
