2009 Hyundai "RWD" Coupe

[stelvio]

the 3.8m figure came from motioncars' carchart, after reading the top gear article, it seems the 1.4 to 1.8m price tag is more credible.  Btw, i read in C&D that the 2.0 turbo is actually from the lancer evo therefore highly tunable (dunno if its the 4g63t).

"One thing is certain: There will be lots of zoom parts available. The 1998cc four is the same basic engine as in the 291-hp Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, both engines being byproducts of the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance, a joint venture among Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Chrysler.

Similarities outweigh the differences, we're told, between the Evo's motor and Hyundai's all-aluminum Theta four with its twin-cam variable valve timing and Mitsubishi TD04H turbo making 15.0 psi. Core components such as pistons and rods should move freely between them, for example. Hyundai's engine uses a different computer, from Siemens. The software wasn't intentionally made easy to crack, "but it's not very tough," says one Hyundai exec with a wink. That means up to 300 horsepower should be possible without major surgery. "

The 1.8 million price is solid. Heard it from a friend who went to the launch.

The 2.0 turbo engine is based on the world-engine program. In other words, similar to a 4B11, and at least one tuner in the US says that the heads are the same. So basically, anything that works for the Evo X engine should work for the Coupe...

Around 1.3m, get the 2.0T. Buy an aftermarket clutch. Get a turbo upgrade and a chip, and you should have a 300+ hp RWD car at 1.5m

The 306 horsepower from the V6 is on premium gasoline... regular unleaded is about 295. 1.8 is a cheap price for that wonderful engine. It pulls like a horse and sounds pretty nice (though I think the Z still sounds better).

Wow, we could be looking at the performance bargain of the year!

Hmm I think whoever got the 3.8M price confused it with the engine displacement, since it's a 3.8 V6, haha

Antagal pa kasi nung Subaru/Toyota '86' Coupe and I'm sure it will cost more than this Hyundai.

Evo X FQ-400 spec upgrades?   ...hmmm a 400hp Genesis Coupe?

I just received a call from Hyundai Alabang abd clarified to me that there will onlybe 1 model for Genesis that will be released here this MArch. This is the 3.8L V6 Dual CVVT. I am not sure if i heard him right about the HP is 377 HP.

Anyway the genesis will be available fro viewing next week.

The D-CVVT 3.8 liter V6 of the Genesis Coupe makes 303PS.

Thanks AM, i think Motioncars need to update the car chart :lurk:

Anyway Do you think this will be a good buy? I am planning to get used 2007 STI or 08 WRX.

Why don't you test drive the car?  Parang gusto ko rin i-testdrive e haha.  I think HARI's prices are very reasonable...  but if I were you mag-2007 STI nalang ako

I went to Hyundai Global City yesterday and got a pricelist. The Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 is listed at 1.858M. this should put an end to all doubts!


btw, it's current pricing puts it in contention with the Subaru WRX and the Mazda MX5. 



oh, and one more thing. there's no mention of the 2.0 turbo though. I certainly hope they consider bringing it in! if the price is right, the Genesis 2.0T should sell like hotcakes!  :evil5:

[stelvio]

that's very reasonable pricing. if only they could get rid of that rear spoiler or make it optional.
