Hyundai announced that the Genesis Coupe will feature high performance disc brakes from Brembo. For the Genesis Coupe’s front 18-inch wheels, Brembo engineers developed 13.4-inch x 1.1-inch rotors (340mm x 28mm) and four-pot fixed calipers (42mm+42mm), while the rear setup features 13.0-inch x 0.78-inch rotors (330mm x 20mm) gripped by four-pot fixed calipers (32mm+28mm).
The Genesis Coupe is available with either a four or six cylinder engine. The 3.8-liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine delivers an estimated 306 hp and 263 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine will launch the Genesis Coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 6 seconds. The turbocharged, intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder benefits from CVVT on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. The 2.0-liter turbo generates an estimated 212 hp and 217 lb.-ft. of torque. It also features a cast-aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head. Both engines feature a free flowing dual cat-back exhaust and an available limited slip differential to put the power to the ground.
