Hyundai's All-New 2009 300 Horsepower RWD Coupe Exposed

November 8, 2007

Hyundai’s much anticipated RWD coupe has been caught at a recent market research event.

Thanks to a photographer at the event we have the first real…fully naked photos of the new coupe sitting next to its main competitor, the Ford Mustang.

The all-new RWD coupe that is based on the upcoming Genesis sedan platform is expected to be officially unveiled at the LA Auto Show next week as the Concept Genesis Coupe.

The new coupe is going to replace the current FWD Tiburon in the Hyundai lineup. It is still not known if the coupe will still use the Tiburon name. It is rumored that the coupe is going to be offered with a 300 horsepower V6 and possibly the same Tau V8 in the Genesis sedan. The coupe is also expected to get a 215 horsepower 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder.

According to sources the 2.0L turbocharged coupe is going to start at $19,900 and the 3.8L V6 with 300 horsepower is going to start at $25,900.

The coupe is expected to hit showrooms late next year as a 2009 model.
