Now, Hyundai can count itself among the marques that have collaborated with Cosworth. The automaker is set to reveal the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series concept at the SEMA show in Las Vegas that opens Oct. 30.
Based on the 3.8-liter V6-powered Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the concept takes an already capable car and gives it a racing edge. Output has been boosted from 348 hp to 389 hp, and torque is upped from 295 lb-ft. to 325 lb-ft. Intake, exhaust and brake systems have all been upgraded alongside the engine. Everything rides on a Cosworth performance suspension system and wheels.
No car prepared for exhibition at SEMA would be complete without substantial cosmetic modifications, and the Genesis Coupe concept is no exception. But where Hyundai's ARK Performance Genesis Coupe concept throws subtlety to the wind, renderings of the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series concept seem to show the embodiment of British restraint.
There's plenty of carbon fiber on the car, of course: The front splitter, rear diffuser and a handful of other visible parts are made out of the lightweight material. But an integrated rear spoiler sits where many tuners plant a large wing, and gunmetal gray-colored wheels nicely complement a deep blue paint job.
The 2012 SEMA show takes place Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 in Las Vegas.. The show is a leading indicator of trends in technology and customization for the automotive industry. Autoweek will be there with the latest news, photos and video, and we'll bring it all to you right here at autoweek.com.
