In addition to the hot RMR Hyundai Genesis Coupe, two more versions of the the upcoming two-door coupe will be making an appearance at SEMA. The first, created by Street Concepts, wears an aggressive stealth-fighter-inspired black camouflage paint scheme. Added to the exterior mix are a custom grille with red Hyundai badging, tinted head- and taillights, and an APR rear spoiler. Planting all four corners on the tarmac is a set of 19-in. matte-black Volk Racing TE 37 wheels wrapped in low-profile tires. A lowered, stiffer suspension setup not only aids in achieving its menacing stealth-fighter look, but also helps out with eliminating pesky body roll. Brembo was called upon to provide its massive front and rear braking systems behind the forged-aluminum wheels.
Street Concepts didn't set out to create a Genesis Coupe with all show and no go for SEMA, so a Magnaflow exhaust and high-flow air-intake are neatly installed under its hood to allow for a bit more horsepower from the 3.8L V-6. Inside the cabin, carbon fiber replaces the factory dash, as do high-quality suede inserts. A set of Cobra racing seats and a full Infinity audio system round off the car's interior enhancements.
The second Genesis Coupe was tuned by HKS with extra performance in mind. Though no power numbers have been announced, the laundry-list of performance parts has. The HKS Genesis will get unspecified HKS internal engine parts, an HKS GT Turbo kit, an HKS limited-edition turbo exhaust system, an HKS Super Mega Flow intake system, HKS engine management and an HKS Hipermax III fully adjustable suspension. Hyundai and HKS did not specify whether it was the base 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine or the 3.8L V6 that was modified, but either way, expect big power bumps from the stock 212 hp or 306 hp, respectively.
HKS Time-Attack cars' aerodynamics partner Ken Style also got in on the mods, creating a functional ground effects kit. Inside, the car will feature HKS electronics and a CAMP2 system that plugs into the car's OBD2 port and monitors up to 24 different data signals.
