"The interior upgrades, our hot new 3.8 R-Spec model, and revised lineup of six focused models show that Hyundai is meeting the demands of our customers," comments Scott Margason, director, product planning, Hyundia Motor America.

"The upgraded interior is a great illustration of how Hyundai continually raises its own high benchmarks for quality.", he added.

2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec comes with all-aluminum 3.8 liter V6 engine delivering 306 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is covered in 5.5 seconds. The amazing results are achieved by number of technologies like DCVVT and a new Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe more efficiently at both low and high RPM. The better-breathing results in outstanding off-the-line acceleration, passing performance and remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable timing chains with no scheduled maintenance.

The sports coupe features  MacPherson® strut dual-link front suspension and a five-link independent rear suspension setup to deliver better handling and additional comfort. Some numbers - 24-mm diameter front and 19-mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are used.

The engine is fitted with a standard six-speed manual gearbox and as an option there is a ZF® six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC to handle the additional torque.

The breaks feature 13.4-inch ventilated front brake rotors and 13-inch ventilated rear rotors.

The 2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track offers Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights. The advantages of HID headlamps include greater lighting power, daylight-type lighting and reduced power consumption.

The in-dash navigation unit with a multi-gauge information display screen is available as an option. This system provides new features including Bluetooth streaming audio capability. This easy-to-use unit can be controlled via 6.5-inch WVGA touchscreen or voice-recognition by headliner-mounted microphone.
