AGGRESSIVE DESIGN CUES MATCH
ENHANCED DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The refreshed Genesis
Coupe strikes a more menacing demeanor, with an aggressively
redesigned front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running
lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view
reveals new, aggressive 18- and 19-inch alloy wheel designs with
deeper dimensional sculpting. Finally, the rear taillights provide a
visual spark via premium LED illumination and new contours. Of
course, the traditional rear-drive sport coupe proportions remain,
with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a
classic wedge-like profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line
is an innovative “Z”-shaped design that integrates seamlessly with a
unique, drop-beltline rear window graphic.
Genesis Coupe’s arching
roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and
emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. To complete the
aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the
greenhouse has been maximized.
Enlarged openings in the
front fascia allow for better engine breathing along with a more
aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the
blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message
from the rear.
POWERTRAIN ENHANCEMENTS
Both Genesis Coupe
engines receive significant technology upgrades, backing up its new
design statement with impressive performance gains. The 3.8-liter
Lambda DOHC V6 engine adds sophisticated direct-injection
technology, adding 42 horsepower (a generous 14 percent increase)
and 29 lb.-ft of torque (an eleven percent increase). Peak
horsepower rises to 348 at 6,400 RPM, with peak torque increasing to
295 lb.-ft. at 5,300 RPM on premium fuel. In addition, lambda-engine
anti-knock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on
regular fuel. This new direct-injected engine will easily propel the
Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower five-second range on
its way to an impressive 149 mph electronically-limited top speed.
The Lambda V6 intake system also now employs an intake sound
induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural
character matches its visceral appeal.
To further broaden the
power band, the 3.8-liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable
Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that
helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM.
The combination of high-pressure, precisely-metered direct injection
with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle
response and off-the-line acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel
efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for
lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet
timing chains with no scheduled maintenance.
All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive
power-to-weight ratio of only 10.0:1; significantly lower than the
more expensive Infiniti G37 and BMW 335i.

Lambda Direct-Injected DOHC V6 Engine
Not to be outdone by its
bigger brother, the turbocharged, intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC inline
four-cylinder substitutes a new twin-scroll design for its
turbocharger in addition to a larger intercooler with enhanced
thermal efficiency. The twin-scroll design is more efficient at
recovering exhaust energy and produces cooler cylinder temperatures
than the former single-scroll design. In addition, the twin-scroll
is more precise, with improved combustion efficiency, reduced turbo
lag, leaner air/fuel ratios and more evenly distributed pressure in
the exhaust ports, resulting in simultaneous power, efficiency and
emissions improvements. Also, a 53 percent larger intercooler
further reduces intake temperatures, providing denser, cooler air
from which to develop even more power.
This turbocharged engine
also benefits from Dual CVVT on both intake and exhaust camshafts.
The 2.0-liter turbo now generates 274 horsepower (a massive 30
percent increase) and 275 lb.-ft. of torque (an impressive 23
percent increase) on premium fuel. And, unlike many competitive
turbo engines, this turbo’s anti-knock sensors automatically adjust
ignition timing and engine mapping to run perfectly on regular fuel,
yielding 260 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at
2,000 RPM. The turbo engine also features a cast-aluminum cylinder
block and cylinder head. All these improvements give the Genesis
Coupe 2.0T a power-to-weight ratio of 12.3, superior to the upcoming
Scion FR-S sports coupe and the Honda Civic Si.

Turbocharged DOHC 4-cylinder Engine
Both V6 and 4-cylinder
engines also feature deeper, baritone-sounding dual cat-back
exhausts to complement more efficient breathing on the intake side.
To ensure that all this new power is evenly distributed to the
pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen(r)
limited-slip differential on R-Spec and Track models.
REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE ARCHITECTURE
2013 Genesis Coupe Body
Shell Architecture
Genesis Coupe’s body shell makes generous use of ultra-high-tensile
steel. The rear-wheel drive powertrain configuration provides a
well-balanced 55:45 front-to-rear weight distribution for the 2.0T,
and 56:44 for the 3.8 model.
SPORT-TUNED SUSPENSION
No well-tuned sport
coupe chassis should give the perception of being overwhelmed by its
powertrain, and Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring,
damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely recalibrated to
match these new powertrains with better road feel, more precise body
motion control and improved ride comfort.
Genesis Coupe employs a
MacPherson strut dual-link front suspension and a five-link rear
suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a
solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable
multi-piece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune
the Genesis Coupe’s at-the-limit handling for maximum
predictability, 23-mm diameter front and 19-mm diameter rear
stabilizer bars are fitted.

strut dual-link front suspension & five-link rear suspension
While all Genesis Coupe
models offer a true rear-drive sport driving experience, the
high-performance Genesis Coupe R-Spec and Track models raise the bar
even higher with differentiated, track-tuned suspension
calibrations. The R-Spec/Track suspension features both firmer front
spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (eleven percent),
with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe R-Spec/Track models
also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other
versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm
front/20mm rear). For 2013, all Genesis Coupes receive improved
low-velocity-control dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with
improved body control.
In addition, all R-Spec and Track models now receive front strut
camber adjustment bolts that can be easily installed in the front
strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment
bolts allow approximately -1.5 degrees of negative front camber
adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turn-in and significant
understeer reduction in competitive events.
Of course, superb
Genesis Coupe structural rigidity sets the fundamental foundation
for dynamic precision, regardless of specific suspension
calibration.
STEERING
Hydraulic, RPM-sensing
rack-and-pinion steering has been recalibrated with an even quicker,
13.8:1 ratio, delivering both linear feel and agile response to
driver inputs. This new steering ratio is a full seven-percent
quicker than the previous model, yielding intuitive steering
response and precision. To further optimize driver ergonomics,
telescopic adjustment also has been added to tilt adjustment for
2013.
TRANSMISSIONS
Both engines are mated
to standard six-speed manual transmissions which have been
extensively refined to provide more driver-friendly shift gating and
balanced weighting precision. The clutch take-up, feel, and
engagement characteristics also have been refined for optimum
shifting ease and feel. Both engines now offer an in-house-developed
eight-speed automatic with paddle-shift SHIFTRONIC(r)
manual-shifting capability. Each transmission has been specifically
tuned to match its engine’s unique power and torque curve
characteristics.
In addition to the
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, each automatic offers shift
capability via the shift lever according to individual driver
preference. A clear LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the
selected gear at all times.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS
Brembo(r) four-piston
calipers clamp down on fade-resistant 13.4-inch ventilated front
brake rotors and 13-inch ventilated rear rotors on both R-Spec and
Track models. All other models get substantial 12.6-inch front
ventilated rotors and 12.4-inch rotors in the rear with floating
single-piston calipers.
UPSCALE INTERIOR REFINEMENT
The 2013 Genesis Coupe
interior has been enhanced with distinctive, upscale features and
design cues. The instrument panel crash pad features a stitched-seam
appearance for a distinctly upscale look, and the parking brake
lever is leather-wrapped on leather-equipped models. The instrument
cluster now features an electroluminescent gauge cluster for premium
ambience and superior readability. A new driver-side rear seat
walk-in assist function has been added for more convenient rear seat
access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides
make it easier for front passengers to buckle up.
In addition, driver seat
power lumbar support is now available and front seatback pockets are
standard on all Genesis Coupes. A center stack multi-gauge cluster
with instantaneous mpg, torque level (3.8 models) or turbocharger
boost pressure (2.0T models), and oil temperature is standard on all
trims. A center fascia tray with cover has been added for enhanced
storage, and interior surfaces now have a softer touch with lower
sheen for a more up-market feel. Sport front seats with deep side
bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in
all trim configurations.
Among other premium
features are an available Infinity(r) premium audio system and
two-stage front seat heaters. Genesis Coupe also offers the
convenience of a Proximity Key and push-button start.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Genesis Coupe offers
Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, for brighter
illumination intensity, more daylight-like lighting character and
reduced power consumption. In addition, the visual cut lines of
these HID headlights are razor sharp, providing maximum nighttime
visibility to the driver without the risk of blinding oncoming
traffic.
Music lovers will
welcome the Genesis Coupe’s standard auxiliary input jacks (3.5 mm
mini-jack and USB input) to accommodate and charge personal audio
devices such as an iPod(r). When an iPod or flash drive is connected
through the USB port in the center storage compartment, not only
does it play music through the vehicle’s audio system, but it also
charges the iPod and allows the driver to access tracks with the
steering wheel audio controls. This system also allows both driver
and passengers to easily view song/artist/title information and
control the music from the audio head unit rather than the iPod
unit. This safety-oriented function allows the driver to keep his or
her focus on the road at all times.
HYUNDAI BLUE LINK(r)
Hyundai Blue Link
telematics is available on 2013 Genesis Coupe with a 90-day
complimentary trial period. The Blue Link platform is available on
3.8 Grand Touring/Track and 2.0T Premium trim levels. Blue Link can
be accessed from the buttons on the rearview mirror inside the
Genesis Coupe, the web and via smart phone. Blue Link is offered in
three telematics service packages: Assurance, Essentials and

SEGMENT-LEADING STANDARD SAFETY
TECHNOLOGIES
In keeping with
Hyundai’s focus on offering segment-leading standard safety
technologies across its lineup, the 2013 Genesis Coupe includes a
wide range of both active and passive safety features. Standard
safety technology includes driver and front passenger advanced
frontal airbags, along with front seat-mounted side airbags, side
air curtains and active front head restraints.
Genesis Coupe has strong
unibody construction, along with front and rear crumple zones,
bodyside reinforcements and five-mph energy-absorbing bumpers. The
hood also includes buckling creases and safety stops.
The front seatbelts have
pretensioners and force limiters, and the rear seats feature LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), which make affixing child
safety seats easier.
All Genesis Coupe models
feature standard four-channel ABS with Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake performance under various
dynamic loading conditions. The system also includes Brake Assist,
which provides maximum ABS-level braking force when a panic stop is
detected.
Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), one of the industry’s most effective life-saving
technologies, is standard in all Genesis Coupe models. Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) studies suggest vehicles
equipped with ESC experience 56 percent fewer fatalities in
single-vehicle crashes than those without it.
In a nod to enthusiasts,
2013 Genesis Coupe now offers a specially-tuned three-stage
driver-selectable ESC mode. This new three-stage ESC function offers
more options for various driver preferences and road conditions:
* Full-on ESC function
(default mode on start-up)
* Intermediate ESC function with driver powertrain override control
and retained ESC/TCS braking function
* Full-off ESC function for uninhibited driver vehicle control in
all conditions
The driver-selectable
full-off ESC mode has been calibrated to provide drivers with a
larger performance envelope should they choose to participate in
competitive events such as autocrosses or track days. The Genesis
Coupe anti-lock braking system function (ABS) remains fully
functional in all ESC modes to help drivers maintain steering
control under adverse braking conditions.
COLOR PALETTE
With Genesis Coupe’s
more aggressive exterior design cues, fresh exterior color offerings
are now available, with seven new colors added to the palette. In
keeping with Genesis Coupe color names selected at launch, all new
color names are derived from world-famous racing circuits and their
most challenging track segments. These new colors include:
Parabolica Blue, Catalunya Copper, Monaco White, Becketts Black,
Circuit Silver, Gran Premio Gray, and Shoreline Drive Blue.
To further complement
Genesis Coupe’s freshened interior design and premium materials, a
new tan leather interior, a new red leather bolster/red cloth insert
interior, and a new gray leather bolster/gray cloth insert interior
have been added to the interior color environment selections.
