According to reports the new yet to be named coupe is going to be powered by either a 2.0L turbo with 215 HP and 217 ft-lbs of torque or a 3.8L V6 with 300 HP and 280 ft-lbs. There has been some speculation that Hyundai is also planning on putting its upcoming 4.6L V8 from the upcoming Genesis sedan in the coupe. Well now according to Inside Line those rumors are not true and the new coupe will not receive the V8 powerplant. So even though most of were hoping for a true Mustang fighter, it may not happen.
