Chris Judd, Brendan Fevola and Marc Murphy unveiled a production version of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe at the Melbourne Motor Show on Friday. The stunning sports car has just gone on sale in North America and along with its sister the Genesis sedan (North American Car of the Year), is tipped as the catalyst behind the brand’s turning point in the U.S
“I personally drive a Hyundai i30 and seeing the next generation of Hyundai technology at the Motor Show is impressive,” Judd said at the unveiling.
“The Genesis Coupe really demonstrates how leading edge Hyundai has become,” added Judd.
The real wheel drive Genesis coupe displayed in lime green paintwork, takes its place alongside the new i30cw Wagon, all-new i20, and the i10 and i30 blue concept cars. The Melbourne Motor Show is being held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from Friday February 27th to Monday 9th March.
Hyundai is showcasing the company’s design and engineering capabilities. Two signature design elements truly define the Genesis Coupe’s highly distinctive look and escalate its dynamic appeal: the sculpted Z-line in the body sides and the unique daylight opening of the quarter glass. Other exterior design elements include the pronounced shoulders, short overhands and long wheelbase. The aggressive, wedge-like silhouette, give it classic sports car proportions and the red Brembo brake calipers finish off the look.
On the inside, the interior offers the driver an aggressive and sophisticated design. The dual cylinder-type gauge cluster, floor-mounted accelerator pedal, proximity key and engine push-button start are among the innovative design touches. Convenient features include USB/iPod® connectivity, information display unit (for audio controls, digital clock, climate control, inside/outside temperature) and steering wheel-mounted remote controls for the audio system. An eight-speaker Infinity sound system is available.
A full bucket-type driver’s seat provides excellent support at all critical points. Fro convenient entry and egress, the front seat backrests feature walk-in memory design so that the original position of the backrest is restored on entry or exit of the rear seat passengers. Rear seats can be made to quickly fold down with the folding lever in the cabin of the folding button in the boot.
