This car, the first true sports car from the Korean automaker, brings forth a few advancements, including the use of a rear-drive platform and a turbo-charged engine, to name just two. The platform is shared with its namesake, the Genesis sedan, although you wouldn't know from just looking. Where the sedan's body is a case study in inoffensiveness, the coupe is bold and overtly muscular, especially the angry-looking front-end with its squintey headlights.

Power comes from a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-litre four making 210 hp, or an optional 3.8-litre V6 with 306 hp. Transmissions are either a 5-speed manual (6-speed on 2.0T GT models), or an optional ZF-sourced 6-speed automatic on either. The autobox has a shift-it-yourself mode complete with the requisite paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel.
