If you’re a Hyundai Genesis Coupe fan, this RMR RM500 version of the new two-door will make you giggle with joy. Why? because Rhys Millen Racing’s (RMR) modified Genesis Coupe features Hyundai’s most powerful engine under its hood – the award-winning 5.0-liter Tau V8, good for 450 horsepower.

“From the moment I saw the Tau V8 engine in the Genesis R-Spec sedan, I knew it would be a perfect fit for the Genesis Coupe, adding even more performance and power to the dynamic coupe,”
said Rhys Millen, owner, Rhys Millen Racing. “The sleek and practical exterior modifications would allow this Genesis Coupe to look good parked in your driveway or turning laps at the track.”


“The RMR RM500 Genesis Coupe is a natural home to showcase the performance capabilities of the powerful Tau V8 engine, available in the 2012 Genesis sedan,”
said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Rhys Millen Racing has taken the Tau’s power and the Coupe’s tuner-friendly driving architecture to create a true show-stopper for SEMA this year.”

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
