Hyundai is teaming up with Cosworth America to create a special Genesis Coupe for this year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, which is just around the corner. The car you see in these graphic renderings is called the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series Concept and it has more than a few tricks up its sleeve.
First off, there’s the engine. Cosworth has found an additional 41 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque in the 3.8-liter V6 motor powering the new coupe. This results in an impressive output of 389 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, which is quite impressive for a street legal setup that you’ll also get to buy soon.
Targeting the cosmetics, Cosworth has added a new front splitter, integrated rear spoiler, black out rear diffuser and a set of lightweight gunmetal racing wheels.
“The rear-drive Genesis Coupe is simply a great platform from which to build our ultimate Cosworth Genesis Racing Series street model,” said Nicole Armbrustmacher, director of marketing, Cosworth Americas. “The Cosworth Genesis Racing Series Coupe truly demonstrates the purpose-built performance potential of the affordable Genesis Coupe line. We’re proud to partner with Hyundai for this ultimate racing series model,” she added.
