The car
has daring design and a 3.8-liter direct-injected 348-horsepower V6 engine that
generates a throaty growl the result of a tuned exhaust and a direct-injection
technology.
The Genesis Coupe,
which comes with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed Shiftronic
transmission, has created a long list of impressed customers at Planet Hyundai Centennial, 6200
Centennial Center Blvd.
The
Coupe was tested at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb west of Colorado
Springs, Colo., where competitors race to the clouds. In the 2013 competition,
a Genesis Coupe
prototype built by Rhys Millen Racing beat the record set the year before by 44
seconds.
“I
really like the laser dynamic cruise control,” dealership Internet manager
Chris Rooney said. “It also has a lane departing warning system that includes a
video. If you go outside the white line, it will flash a warning to let you
know you’re going into the other lane without your turn signal. If you’re
drifting and not paying attention, it will counteract that, let you know what’s
going on and pull you back into the right lane.
“The Genesis Coupe almost drives
itself. It’s almost like autopilot.”
Rooney
said an auto hold feature keeps the driver in the position until the gasoline
pedal is engaged — another key Hyundai
safety feature.
“If
you’re in bumper-to-bumper traffic and come to a full stop, you can take your
foot off the brake because auto hold keeps you stopped until you put your foot
on the gas pedal.”
Cross
traffic alert warns of traffic coming from in front, behind or beside the car,
Rooney added.
Performance
elements with the Genesis
Coupe include monotube rear shocks, advanced high-tech steel chassis, 18-inch
alloy wheels and electronic stability control.
The Genesis Coupe also has an
available 360-watt, 10-speaker Infinity premium audio system.
As with
all new Hyundais, the car
comes with a 10-year and 100,000-mile power train warranty along with the
five-year, 60,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty.
