Finally the new 2012 Genesis Coupe has been caught w/o any camouflage and we have it here for your delight, enjoy some of this cellphone pictures. How do you find the new facelift Genny, do you like it or not? let us know on the comments below.
Caught undergoing testing in the United States, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe includes new features, modified bumpers, restyled lighting units and a larger grille. Inside, the cabin receives an updated infotainment system and a revised center stack with new instrumentation.
Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.0-liter TCi engine – with 210 hp (157 kW / 213 PS) and 223 lb-ft (302 Nm) of torque – will likely replaced by the new turbocharged gasoline direct injection (GDi) 2.0-liter. This means we can expect an output of 274 hp (204 kW / 278 PS) and 269 lb-ft (364 Nm) of torque. Additionally, the 3.8-liter V6 is expected to be upgraded to produce 333 hp (248 kW / 338 PS) and 291 lb-ft (394 Nm) of torque.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will likely be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January.
