HENNESSEY TUNER SCHOOL TRANSFORMS HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE INTO 500-HORSEPOWER BEAST FOR SEMA
Demonstrating the wide range of aftermarket potential for the Genesis Coupe, Hyundai Motor America has partnered wîth Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) and the Tuner School to develop a powerful entry for this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. The matte black, carbon fiber-wrapped Hennessey Genesis Carbon Coupe is designed wîth a high-end European look and performance capabilities to match. The vehicle will be in Hyundai's display at the Las Vegas Convention Center Nov. 3–6, 2009 (booth # 24387).Founded by HPE president John Hennessey, Tuner School is a 14-week program dedicated to teaching its students the secrets to success in the high-performance automotive aftermarket. It was established as a way to offer its students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to hone their craft, learn from professionals in the field, and springboard their career in the aftermarket .
'The Genesis Coupe architecture is the ideal platform for tuners lòòking to make everyday modifications to their vehicles and our students at the Tuner School took full advantage,' said Hennessey. 'The visually stunning complete carbon fiber matte black wrap and high-end performance benchmarks create a monster SEMA car.'
HPE and the Tuner School will blow away the SEMA crowd wîth its Genesis Coupe achieving 500 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 465 lb-ft of torque, an estimated 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and a quarter mile time of 12.5 seconds. These aggressive performance capabilities were accomplished through a variety of engine modifications. The Genesis Carbon Coupe features a Hennessey Custom Single Turbo System, Precision 66 mm ball bearing turbocharger, Tial blow-off valve and 44 mm wastegate, a HKS boost controller and upgraded injectors and fuel pump, among other additions.'To work wîth a leading tuner such as John Hennessey and his Tuner School is a testament to the potential of our rear-wheel-drive Genesis Coupe,' said Michael Deitz, manager, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. 'With its 500 horsepower and 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds we expect this vehicle to be one of the stars of SEMA.'
