Hyundai Lies. Turbo Coupe Makes More than 210hp.
I found this very interesting considering the engine similarities to the 4B11T that is powering the Hyundai coupe. You know what they say about perfect competition....

Although the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is offered with an optional V6, it's likely that the turbocharged 2.0T version is destined to be the more popular choice. It's less expensive and lighter, plus it's got a happy spinny thing under the hood known as a turbo. And when it comes to tuning potential, a turbo is hard to beat.
We tested a bone stock Genesis Coupe 2.0T on MD Automotive's Dynojet chassis dyno located in Westminster, CA. Hyundai says its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder generates 210 hp and 223 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel, and like most factory ratings for turbo cars, those numbers are a bit on the conservative side.

197 at the wheels isn't that underrated. It's on a dyno jet (I'd be a lot more impressed if that were on a dynodynamics), so that means that the engine is only making about 225 at the crank. Whoopdy freaking do. Open deck block, 2 bolt main bearing caps, weaker internals... no thank you. While the basic EXTERIOR block structure is the same, the THETA 4 is cast and constructed entirely differently and is a far cry from the 4B11 in the X. It's a cool car for what it is, but it's got a much weaker engine than what's in our X, so moddability isn't gonna be the same. Lightweight and RWD is pretty badass though, I have to admit. If the suspension geometry is good on this car, it will likely be a great platform for AUTO X and road racing, at lower power levels that is.
