HATCI and Magnuson Supercharge Hyundai Genesis Coupe
To showcase the extreme power of Hyundai's most popular performance car, Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (HATCI) teamed up wîth Magnuson Products, Rhys Millen Racing, Harman International and Torvec Inc. to develop and build a special edition prototype Genesis Coupe, the Genesis Hurricane SC. HATCI, Hyundai's design, technology and engineering branch, will display the high-performance Genesis Coupe in Hyundai's 2011 SEMA Show booth from November 1-4, 2011 in Las Vegas.The Genesis Hurricane SC represents a two year development effort by HATCI, as its engineers worked to enhance all aspects of the vehicle including power, traction, braking, exterior and interior design and audio system. Highlighting the performance modifications, HATCI teamed up wîth Magnuson Products to supercharge Genesis Coupe's 3.8L V-6 engine wîth a liquid to air intercooler, producing more than 450 horsepower.
'The HATCI and Magnuson supercharger demonstrates the high-performance potential of Genesis Coupe's V-6 engine – the car was engineered to handle this kind of extra power,' said David Dutko, senior engineer, HATCI. 'Our HATCI engineers have been working for years wîth Magnuson to ensure high engine output is available on future Hyundai vehicles.'
'The supercharger creates a modest six to seven pounds of boost which generates a 35-45 percent increase in horsepower and torque and can be easily modified to deliver even higher boost levels,' said Terry Peddicord, director, sales, Magnuson Products. 'One of the many exciting aspects of this project is that the Genesis Hurricane SC is not just another pretty face for the show circuit, but rather it is a hard working lab-rat that will push the bounds of this car and the whole vehicle §egmènt.'In addition to the supercharged V-6, Torvec Inc. has been developing its IsoTorque differential wîth improved handling and traction capability wîth HATCI engineers at the Hyundai Proving Grounds in California. The IsoTorque differential delivers nearly a one second per lap improvement in the Genesis Coupe on the Hyundai road course.

The Hurricane's interior also received some state of the art enhancements including a Harman International high level Lexicon audio system that was tuned in house by HATCI engineers and Katzkin custom premium leather and suede seats accented wîth blue inserts.Mechanically, the Hurricane SC has Bilstein monotube shock absorbers and springs wîth adjustable ride height tuned on the Nurburgring in Germany and a Brembo six piston brake kit wîth cross drilled front and rear rotors. The engine also received a SPEC lightweight single mass aluminum flywheel and stage two clutch, DeatschWerks high flow fuel pump and 600cc injectors, Perma-Cool oil, differential and §teering coolers and a custom CPR Fabrication billet aluminum oil filter adapter.
Additionally, on the SEMA Show floor the numerous parts of the Genesis Hurricane SC will be displayed, providing show-goers the opportunity to experience and interact wîth the vehicle's actual hard parts and future developments.
