RM500 - Rhys Millen Hyundai Genesis (V8) Coupe

From Roadandtrack.com . . . .



Rhys Millen to R&T at SEMA: "Nothing on the chassis was modified, it's 100% Hyundai. The intent is to rub fenders with the Camaro or the Mustang." — with RM500.

Neat car, but even if Hyundai actually produced something like it I fear the msrp would be rather stout given where V-6 pricing resides

Yeah, looking at the base pricing of the V6 models doesn't bode well. You could be looking at virtually Boss 302 money for a V8 GC.

I doubt the V8 Genesis coupe would cost $14,000 more than V6.

I was estimating based on the idea that a base 3.8 Grand Touring bases for just under $30k. I'm actually shocked to find there are basically no options for that car. Didn't expect that. But I think a reasonable estimate would be about $34-$36k.

Also, the new front-end is hideous... what a shame.

Oh dear. What may work for Citroen, doesn't necessarily work for Hyundai. They need to get KIA's designer to add some Audi elements instead.
