Hyundai 2010 Genesis - Cheapest Sports Coupe ?

By Michael Shoemaker at 04/16/08 10:39

Last March 19, the Korean car giant Hyundai announced its commitment to build the world's cheapest sports coupe. The 2010 Genesis Coupe is a purpose-built rear-wheel drive sports coupe featuring two performance-focused engines - a 212-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a range-topping all-aluminum 306-horsepower, DOHC 3.8-liter V6 engine. It is also said that the car will join Hyundai's line up by the spring of 2009.

The Genesis Coupe is said to be Hyundai's most dynamic performance car ever built. The Genesis Coupe was first shown as a concept car at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show, and now that it entered production, the design remained intact. The price was not unveiled but let us stick to what the company promised of it being the cheapest in the world. Cross fingers for that!
