Hyundai, aftermarket and potential aren’t words that you’d normally find yourself uttering in succession.  Hopefully the new Genesis Coupe changes all that, what with it’s FR layout and choice of hardware.

V6, meh. Doesn’t interest me so much.

2.0t? Directly related to Mitsu’s Evo X powerplant? I’ll take two, thanks.

From Edmunds, “Hyundai took a major step toward reinventing itself as a legitimate performance-car manufacturer by inviting 20 aftermarket companies to measure the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe today at its North American headquarters in Fountain Valley, California.”

“Hyundai officials also confirmed today that the company will offer Track versions of both the four-cylinder turbo and the V6 coupe. “They’ll be a low percentage of the mix,” Joyce admitted, “but they will be uncompromised in their performance.”

In addition to retuned suspension compared to the standard versions of the coupe, the Genesis Track models will pick up a front strut tower brace and a full set of Brembo brakes, including four-piston monobloc calipers up front.

Regardless of the engine underhood, Track models will come with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A summer tires, sized 225/40R19 up front and 245/40R19 in back. Non-Track Genesis coupes get 225/45R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE92As in front and 245/45s in back.”
