Filed under: Aftermarket, SEMA Show, Coupe, Performance, Hyundai
The 2012 Veloster may be Hyundai's new hotness, but the Genesis Coupe is still its flagship performance car. And with this year's SEMA show right around the corner, Hyundai is quickly readying a full fleet of tuner cars to debut in Las Vegas. Here, we see the Genesis Hurricane SC - a collaboration between the Hyundai America Technical Center (HATCI) located near Ann Arbor, Michigan, and companies like Magnuson Products, Rhys Millen Racing, Harman International and Torvec Inc.
As its name suggests, the swan song of this tuned Genesis Coupe is its engine - a supercharged version of Hyundai's 3.8-liter V6. Adding this supercharger means the Hurricane is good for more than 450 horsepower, and Torvec Inc. has fitted its IsoTorque differential to allow for improved handling and traction. Hyundai says that the Hurricane is a full second quicker around its proving ground road course than the stock Genesis Coupe.
Rhys Millen Racing provided the new front bumper, grille, side skirts, hood, diffuser and rear deck, and the company's partners - Enkei and Hankook - are responsible for the 19-inch wheel and tire package. Inside, there's a high-level Lexicon audio system and custom Katzkin leather upholstery with blue suede inserts on the seats. After all, it wouldn't be SEMA without heaps of suede.
Hyundai has only released this one teaser image as of this writing, but we'll be sure to bring you a full gallery live from SEMA next month. Follow the jump for the full press release.Continue reading Supercharged Hyundai Genesis Hurricane SC to bow at SEMA
