Hyundai Genesis Coupe Scooped In Marketing Event - Details Included!

A full set of images featuring the upcoming rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis Coupe have been “leaked” into the internet and from the looks of it, the car in the picture is 99% production ready. The unknown scoop photographer passed the pictures on to a friend who in turn posted them on a Hyundai Tiburon forum.

According the person who took the photographs, the shots are from a
presentation comparison for marketing purposes that took place somewhere in the USA this June. In the pictures, the Hyundai Coupe is set aside a Ford Mustang, thus giving us an idea of its exterior dimensions. We remind you that Hyundai announced that it will reveal a concept version of the car at the 2007 L.A. Show (Nov. 16). -Continued after the jump

Apart from the images, the poster also added several details about Hyundai’s new rear-wheel-drive coupe that were revealed at the presentation. According to the guy that attended the presentation, the new Coupe will be offered with two engine options, a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder unit producing 215 Hp and a 300 Hp strong 3.8-liter V6 unit. Initial prices were said to start at $19,900 (€13,500) for the 2.0L and $25,900 (€17,500) for the V6 model.

From The NewTiburon Forum:

2.0 Liter Turbo will have 215HP 217TRQ. Price starting at $19,900.
