Bisimoto delivers 1,000 horsepower out of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For those who\u2019re sad to see the leaves begin to turn colors and the day get shorter there is a reason to feel excited about the arrival of autumn: the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas. And if Hyundai\u2019s teaser release is any indication, this could be a good year at the annual aftermarket extravaganza.<\/p>\n

Consider, if you will, the idea of stuffing a 1,000-pony powertrain package under the hood of a Hyundai Genesis Coupe.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the big announcements the Korean carmaker has in store for the upcoming Specialty Equipment Marketers Association event at the Las Vegas Convention Center.<\/p>\n

The result of a partnership with Bisimoto Engineering, the package starts out with a factory-stock 3.8-liter V-6 from the Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec edition.\u00a0 Of course, there\u2019s a lot more going on, including twin turbochargers, to transform this into what Hyundai calls \u201ca no-holds-barred racer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key to producing reliable, high-horsepower engines goes well beyond the design, engineering and fabrication of performance parts. The core powerplant must be strong enough to withstand advanced modifications. The Genesis Coupe 3.8-liter Lambda engine is a thoroughly robust powerplant, and Bisimoto Engineering is excited to develop it to its full potential for the rigors of competitive motorsport,\u201d said Bisi Ezerioha, owner of Bisimoto Engineering.<\/p>\n

The twin Bisimoto\/Turbonetic turbos are perhaps the biggest change the development team is making to the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V06, but other updates include forged pistons, modified sleeves, a Supertech valvetrain, new camshafts and steel connecting roads, and even a high-flow fuel pump.<\/p>\n

To complement all the changes under the hood, the Hyundai Bisimoto Genesis Coupe gets a customized Electric Blue paint job, unique graphics, an ARK hood and carbon fiber decklid, as well as a unique stainless steel exhaust.<\/p>\n

The chassis is hunkered down with a progressive coilover suspension and anti-roll bars, while modified axles and driveshafts are added to take that brute power. Special Toyo Tires and Incurve 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 11 aluminum wheels ensure all that power gets to the pavement.<\/p>\n

And to keep the driver safe and well positioned, there\u2019s a Bisimoto roll cage and Buddy Club racing seats and harness.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not expecting to see the Bisimoto Genesis Coupe added to the Hyundai line-up anytime soon, but the maker has been a regular at SEMA in recent years, concepts like this designed to show what can be done to stock Hyundai products with a little cash and creativity \u2013 and the right aftermarket partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
