At 2009 Chicago Autoshow Hyundai announced pricing for the new Genesis Coupe and also unveiled the R-Spec variant. A tricked-out version which Hyundai believes will become the baby of tuners and drift masters. In fact this car with the value it delivers will become the baby of every car enthusiast!
The R-Spec is powered by a 2.0 liter engine which is turbocharged and intercooled so it develops 210 hp but is efficient at the same time. It also features Brembo brakes, re-tuned suspension and the most necessary stuff for a sport coupe, the limited slip differential. The R-spec costs only $23,750 which means that even if you have lost your house to the banks because of credit crunch you still can afford a rear wheel drive sports car!!
