Hyundai, GReddy X-Gen Street Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Hyundai, GReddy X-Gen Street Hyundai Genesis Coupe

The annual SEMA show will soon be upon us, and Hyundai’s once again flaunting the aftermarket potential of the Genesis coupe. The GReddy X-Gen Street Genesis coupe will showcase a range of performance upgrades that customers can buy for their Hyundai.

GReddy started with a 2.0-liter turbo Genesis and added a bigger turbo, a new front-mount intercooler, and a low-restriction exhaust. The goal was to bump the stock car’s 210-hp output to 350 hp; GReddy says 500 horses may be possible in the future. Thankfully, bigger brakes—six-piston calipers front, four-piston rear—also feature in the upgrade package. We could probably do without the stiffer coil-over suspension, as we’ve found all Genesis coupes (especially those with the Track Pack) to be plenty firm.

No SEMA show car is complete without visual tweaks, so the Genesis wears a carbon-fiber hood, a large rear spoiler, a gaping front fascia, and Volk wheels wrapped in Toyo tires. Sparco race seats, a turbo timer, and a collection of auxiliary gauges adorn the car’s interior.
