A few pro drifters tried the Genesis out with a V8, it fits but no one uses the platform anymore.

And the intercooler hints at a turbo six instead of a V8. Not terrible cars though, Hyundai tried with these.

Hyundai teased with the V8 when it first came out, but that car will never sport a V8 from factory. Additionally, Hyundai had a chance to be a player in the sports car market with these, and they came out anemic unfortunately..... great cars...fun to drive....just really...need more power

The Genesis coupe may not have V8 power, but I don't think a 345HP V6 is "anemic". Those things will give a 05 - 10 GT a good run.

The 348 HP V6 only came out in 2013....so this car was already pushing about 5 years old at the time. The highest HP version was 306 up until then.

The 2.0T was roughly as fast as the V6, and with about 30 less ponies. To make matters worse, it wasn't even as fast as a V6 Camaro, Mustang, or 350/370Z. Even the V6 Challenger was a fairly close match for it...

It's a good looking car, really fun to drive, but it was anemic when it came out...
