The much anticipated Hyundai Genesis Coupe goes on sale this month at First Motors, Bahrain, promising the performance of a thoroughbred sports car.
The launch comes hot on the heals of Hyundai's acclaimed Genesis sports sedan which proved extremely popular when it arrived in the Gulf last year.
Sam Yacoub, sales manager at First Motors, Bahrain's Hyundai dealer, said: "We have had the demonstration car available for test drives for the last month and it has proved a real hit. It's a high performance car so lots of people who have traditionally driven sports cars are very keen on the Genesis Coupe and can't wait for it to go on sale."
And as well as being billed as 'the most thrilling performance coupe yet from Hyundai' the Genesis Coupe also aims to be the most affordable 300-hp sport coupe in the market.
And don't be fooled by its beauty, with its aggressive and powerful design the Genesis Coupe packs a serious punch.
With rear wheel drive and your choice of 306hp V6 engine or 212hp turbocharged, intercooled engine, this vehicle is built as much for power and performance as for head turning style.
Based on the highly successful Lambda V-6 first introduced in 2004, the high performance RS edition (Racing Sport) of the Lambda features several key modifications which have raised power to a maximum of 303ps@6300rpm enabling the Genesis Coupe to catapult from zero to 100km/h in just 6.3 seconds.
And the Genesis Coupe has style to spare from its organic flowing lines to its crouched sporty shape every detail of the car's design serves a purpose.
Distinctive drop-beltline side windows and HID Xenon headlights allow for greater visibility and the alluring 'Z' character lines enhance its ready-to-pounce stance. And with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth and an enveloping interior design, the Genesis Coupe is as sophisticated inside as it is outside.
