Supercharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe Headed to SEMA

Keffer Hyundai Matthews, North Carolina, is pleased to announce that for

this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas,

Hyundai has teamed up with Korean tuner ARK to create a supercharged

version of its already potent Genesis Coupe 3.8. The result will be the Time

Attack Genesis Coupe, featuring ARK's latest equipment along with several

other upgrades that make it a true contender for the aftermarket dollar.

ARK bolted on its supercharger kit to the V6, with the expectation of boosting

horsepower from 306 to 450. Engine internals were strengthened by replacing

connecting rods, swapping piston rings, and replacing all camshafts. A new

AEM engine management system handles the advanced engine tuning, while

cooling duties are handled by an improved intercooler, oil cooler, and radiator.

A Clutchmaster Stage 4 kit was installed to ensure the extra power makes it to

the rear wheels through the six-speed manual transmission.

A complete six-point roll cage was fitted to the interior, along with new gauges,

seats, harnesses, and steering wheel. Outside, nearly no body panel goes

untouched: front and rear bumpers, side skirts, hood, fenders, and rear spoiler

all were added or replaced. Details on the interior trim beyond what's evident

from the sketch provided will likely be revealed when the model is unveiled at

the show.

Meanwhile, the regular Genesis Coupe is readily available at Keffer Hyundai,

your best source for new Hyundai cars or used cars, as well as Hyundai

special offers, in Matthews.
