Actually that is the korean spec version. Also, in Korea the regulation states you have to have 4 full adults with luggage in the back to test the 0-60 times. The rumor is that the V6 is round mid to low 5's while the I4 is around low to mid 7's

i think its a tiburon trying to be an altima coupe, but i wont knock it in the sense that its a tuners dream, the fact that the base model is a turbo 4 RWD is insane, also the fact that you already have a company (buschur racing) who guaranteed to make parts for it and has a rep of making fast cars lol

it stands to be seen if its a force to be worried about

it has a much higher compression ratio then the evo motor and what can be done on the stock block will form alot of my opinion, the fact it can run on regular is nice lol

hyundai has been on the come up for years, and this car will be the next sport compact car to own, so much in fact that makes me want to sell my 9 ssl for one. You see what they are doing with their whole linesup, all cars have a luxury presence and are very well equipped, the genesis sedan is great value for money and scored pretty good reviews by top magazine. Long stretch but I believe that in 10 years hyundai will be luxury car status, lexus started in 1990 and by 2000 was associated to be one of the top luxury brands, well see how this goes. But the coupe is badass Imo, it just a tad heavy!

That's still way too heavy, 350Z territory and the 350 is a fat slug to drive. Slice 400 pounds off that and I'll be interested.

That was very cool,, and could have been extra super cool if they would have had a bigger area to whip them around.

Nice job Hyundia, nice intro to the coupe!

That's pretty tight, I'd get one....especially if that's all I could afford and I wanted performance and reliability. Hyundai is a name that most Americans wouldn't respect though....just like Mitsubishi. It's all about the BMWs, Audis and so forth....people are definitely jaded. I say just let them spend all their money on something that going to go down in value and cost them more to get fixed with their crappy warranties though.
