The 429 HP 5.0 V8 made by Hyundai will be in the new Genesis Sedan and the upcoming flagship Equus coupled with their all new 8 speed auto. That’s fucking impressive by the South Korean automaker which no one expected to be such a success. And I’m sure that it being Hyundai, us average Joe’s can afford one of these too!
There’s even rumors that the new 5.0 would be in the 2012 model year Genesis Coupe. If so… O_O!!!
Something tells me a souped-up flat six would be a better fit for that Hyundai. That, or they could roll out an all-electric supercar and call it the Mishima.
Both Hundai and Kia are doing well. The Kia Forte coup already looks really competative up against the Civic SI and Mazda Miata. If later models get even better they could get worried.
The new Mustang engine puts out more power than Ford says it does. Hyundai is doing some great things with their cars, but I think it will take a lot more than just a solid engine to take down the king of the pony cars.
Motor Trend compares the all new Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, and Gen Coupe.
“We pit Ford’s all-new Mustang V-6 against its natural rivals, the Chevy Camaro RS and the Dodge Challenger SE, but we throw a wildcard in to the mix – the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track. Which one will come out on top?”
The V6 Stang is very impressive, finally. The new engine design is really impressive - it puts out almost as much power as the outgoing GT. I really don’t think you can get much more bang for the buck.
Maybe its because both kia and hyundai don’t usually make cars that stand out but I can’t think of a single good car they make. They are all boring and dull. This car just looks ugly, it has a flat face and squeeky eyes. If you want a cool, reliable car just get a Nissan.
