The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe debut at the North American International Auto Show. The new Hyundai Genesis Coupe come with redesigned front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues.
Both Genesis Coupe engines receive significant technology
upgrades, backing up its new design statement with impressive performance
gains. The 3.8-liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine adds sophisticated direct-injection
technology, adding 42 horsepower (a generous 14 percent increase) and 29 lb.-ft
of torque (an eleven percent increase). Peak horsepower rises to 348 at 6,400
RPM, with peak torque increasing to 295 lb.-ft. at 5,300 RPM on premium fuel.
In addition, lambda-engine anti-knock technology gives this V6 the versatility
to run on regular fuel. This new direct-injected engine will easily propel the
Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower five-second range on its way to
an impressive 149 mph electronically-limited top speed.
Engine specs the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe comes with the
base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, peak output has been lifted to 274
horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This represents a jump of 64
horsepower and 52 pound-feet of torque over the outgoing model, courtesy of a
new twin-scroll turbocharger and larger intercooler. The 3.8-liter V-6
meanwhile gains 42 horsepower and 29 pound-feet of torque over the
pre-facelifted Hyundai Genesis Coupe, with its final figures pegged at 348
horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Also new is
an eight-speed automatic replacing the outgoing model’s six-speed and if you
prefer to shift gears yourself, a six-speed manual is still standard on both
engine options.
While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true rear-drive sport
driving experience, the high-performance Genesis Coupe R-Spec and Track models
raise the bar even higher with differentiated, track-tuned suspension
calibrations. The R-Spec/Track suspension features both firmer front spring
rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (eleven percent), with matched
damper rates. The Genesis Coupe R-Spec/Track models also deliver a significant
increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker
stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). For 2013, all Genesis Coupes receive
improved low-velocity-control dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with
improved body control.
