Hyundai Genesis Coupe "Cosworth Genesis Racing Series" by Cosworth 2016



Next to the ARK Performance’s Genesis unveiled at the 2012 SEMA Show, Cosworth also unveiled a pretty cool tuning package based on the Genesis Coupe.
Dubbed the "Cosworth Genesis Racing Series," Cosworth’s program for the Korean sports car sees plenty of upgrades, including custom blue bodywork that matches well with the carbon fiber components in the front bumper, the side skirts, and the rear diffuser. There’s also a trunk spoiler in the rear and a new set of custom wheels that finish off the exterior modifications.

Moving on to the interior, Cosworth added a new special steering wheel, a new shift knob, and a shift boot to the overall set-up. The seats have also been redesigned in a two-tone treatment to give the car some added interior flavor. It might not sound as much, but we expect more details to arrive in the coming weeks.
Finally, there’s the engine modification, which appears to include a retuned ECU, a new intake and exhaust system, a new suspension set-up, and new brakes. All told, the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series hits an increased output of 389 horsepower and 325 lb/ft of torque.

“The rear-drive Genesis Coupe is simply a great platform from which to build our ultimate Cosworth Genesis Racing Series street model,” Nicole Armbrustmacher, director of marketing, Cosworth Americas said.
