Alongside the highly touted Veloster Turbo, Hyundai also revealed an updated Genesis coupe at this year's North American International Auto Show.
Sporting revised styling with a new front fascia, headlight, foglight, grille and hood design, tweaked LED taillights and new look 18 and 19-inch wheels, this latest Genesis coupe, which will go on sale this spring as a 2013 model also gets more power in the shape of a 2.0-liter four that now cranks out 274 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, plus a stronger V6 rated at 348 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of grunt.
Aiding the power and torque increases are more efficient intake setups on both engines, as well as retuned exhaust systems with throatier resonance. The turbo four also gains a more efficient intercooler that's 53 percent larger to provide a cooler, denser air charge and promote more power and better throttle response.
The standard six-speed manual has been updated with improved shifting feel, while both engines on the 2013 model can be teamed with Hyundai's in-house designed and built eight-speed automatic with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode, activated by steering wheel mounted paddles.
