The news just keeps dropping in on the revamped 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe after its first public appearance during the Korea Speed Festival 2011 in Yeongam, South Korea, this past weekend.
Today, we got our hands on a fresh batch of official photos plus the Korean domestic market [KDM] brochure that provides us with a few more details on the rear-wheel drive coupe’s specifications, namely the acceleration figures and fuel economy numbers.
The flagship Genesis Coupe with the 350PS (345HP) 3.8-liter V6 engine completes the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 5.9 seconds while returning a combined fuel efficiency (in the Korean driving cycle) of 9.6km/lt (22.6mpg US or 10.4lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 227g/km.
The base version of the coupe that is now equipped with the Sonata Turbo’s 275PS (271HP) 2.0-liter unit goes from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.2 seconds with a combined fuel economy of 11km/lt (25.9mpg US or 9.1lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 212g/km.
Both models are offered with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox and a new optional 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 2013 Genesis Coupe should reach North American showrooms in the first half of 2012.
