Hyundai has announced their intention to build an affordable 2 door sports car for a while now. They are launching the Genesis Coupe this month over in Korea, with North American introduction coming in early next year.

Based on the current Lambda V6 engine that was first introduced in 2004, the RS edition features a series of modifications which have increased power to a maximum of 310 HP at 6,300rpm and peak torque to 36.8kg/m at 4700rpm.

The 310HP 3.8-liter V6 Lambda RS engine will be offered with a choice of two transmissions, a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual.

We can’t wait to see and feel the car as it is bound to provide a lot of bang for the buck.
