With all the commotion surrounding this week’s Paris Motor Show, it would be easy to overlook the 2012 edition of the SEMA Show, which will take place from October 30 to November 2 in Las Vegas.
Hyundai wants to remind us of the upcoming event by teasing one of the many tuned concept models it plans to unveil at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
For its first project, the South Korean carmaker teamed up with ARK Performance to build what it describes as an “ultra-high-performance track edition” of the refreshed Genesis Coupe R-Spec model.
The tune starts under the hood with several improvements to the 2013MY Genesis Coupe R-Spec’s 3.8-liter V6 engine that is boosted from 348Hp and 295 lb.-ft (400Nm) to 395Hp at 6,800 rpm and 340 lb.-ft. (460Nm) at 5,400 rpm.
Other mechanical upgrades include a Cusco type RS 1.5/2-way limited-slip differential, a new clutch kit, six-piston brakes with carbon pads, a coilover system and new suspension bars, arms and control rods.
The car’s exterior is enhanced with a race-like body kit that includes flared over-fenders, an aggressive front splitter, and carbon-fiber hood with heat-extractor vents, while the interior is stripped out and fitted with a roll-cage and bucket seats.
“The Genesis Coupe R-Spec is an ideal platform from which to build our SEMA track edition” said Ted Lee, owner of ARK performance. “The ARK Genesis Coupe R-Spec truly demonstrates the full track-tuning potential of the affordable Genesis Coupe R-Spec model. ARK continues to represent the ultimate in aftermarket performance tuning for Hyundai.”
