Rhys Millen Details 2013 Hyundai Genesis Drift Car

For 2013, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe has a new look, refreshed interior and a bunch of revisions, including more powerful 2.0T and V6 engines. And there’s nobody better to promote a fast Hyundai than Rhys ‘Mad Skilz” Millen.
The skilled drift driver takes us behind the scenes and shows what his team did to the Genesis to turn it into a Formula Drift car. Engine mods (including a turbo) and better breathing. As a result, the car has 700 horsepower at the wheels.

“I’m pleased to have Hyundai’s ongoing support for the 2012 season,” Millen said. “This begins the fourth year of our racing relationship with Hyundai, and we want to continue to build upon our success in both developing and racing Hyundai’s race-proven products.”

2012 Formula Drift Schedule:

April 6-7: Streets of Long Beach, California
May 11-12: Road Atlanta, Georgia
June 1-2: Palm Beach International Raceway, Florida
June 22-23: Wall Speedway, New Jersey

August 24-25: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Nevada

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.
