The Hyundai Genesis Coupe appears to be gathering the attention of tuners at this year's SEMA Show. For this particular proposal, Hyundai Motor America teamed up with Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) and the firm's Tuner School. Aside from the matte black, carbon fiber-wrap, the rear-wheel drive coupe has also been upgraded with a heavily modified turbocharged engine (Hennessey didn't say which one) producing 500HP at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque, for an estimated 0-60mph (96km/h) time of 3.9 seconds and a quarter mile time of 12.5 seconds.Other highlights include Savini lightweight alloy wheels with chrome lips and silver centers, Eibach springs and Brembo lightweight rotors. More details and the live photos of the project car will be released at the SEMA Show next week.

Why?
Because the car is totally awesome. Tuning? Why? Not completely sure but it looks pretty cool.
Oh and it will mean it is much more likely to be featured in computer games =D
With the turbo engine that Mitsubishi uses for it's Evo, it's obviously going to be a hot car for the tuner crowd. Not to mention it looks (in my eyes) worlds better than the economy car-looking Evo and STi.
Definietly picking up the R-spec when it's released on the market.
just wanna point out that its the same engine as evo but with minor difference, its not exactly same as the evo 4-pot....!!
nonono ... this 1,998cc I4 engine is share for CHRYSLER , MITSUBISHI and HYUNDAI
just different setting ~ but it's EXACTLY THE SAME !
Hyundai design leaves Tuners licking thier lips as to the magic they could bring out of this car. The car makes you fantasize.
I would pick it up with full carbon and 500 horses..
