Motor Trend reports, “Hyundai’s bold new 2009 Genesis comes with a 4.6L V-8, but the World’s Most Ambitious automaker, now America’s seventh-largest by volume, can make it bigger. In South Korea last spring, Hyundai revealed that the Tau V-8 could be bored and/or stroked up to 5.5L. That displacement will not come to North America, U.S. product chief John Krafcik said this week, but the Genesis’ engine will go to 5.0L if engineers can get it to match the current 4.6 Genesis’ 17/25 mpg EPA numbers.”

everythingworthknowing adds, ‘the Genesis Coupe is made on a shortened Genesis Sedan platform.’

Sedan V8 + Similar Chassis = 5 Liter V8 Coupe.

Now, when will those first wrecked Genesis Sedan’s make it to the junkyard?
