South Korea’s largest automaker Hyundai Motor Company uploaded a few images of the redesigned Genesis Coupe on its Facebook page. Judging by these pictures, the front end seems to be the part which underwent the most significant upgrading, now sporting the hexagonal-ish front grille that is becoming a signature feature of the Korean manufacturer.

The new Genesis Coupe will come with two engines: the Lambda 3.8 GDi and the Theta 2.0 TCI. In particular, the Lambda 3.8 GDi engine significantly increases performance and efficiency by directly injecting fuel into the cylinder. The new Genesis Coupe delivers maximum output of 345 hp and peak torque of 400 Nm,. Compared to Genesis Coupe’s previous engine, this represents an improvement of 46 hp and 39 Nm. The Theta 2.0 TCI engine uses a larger radiator intercooler for the high-performance turbocharger that cools air more effectively. Compared to its predecessor, this unit his increases maximum output and maximum torque by 64 hp and 78 Nm to 271 hp and 372 Nm respectively.

The new car has been unveiled on November 12 at the Korea Speed Festival 2011 in Yeongam, South Korea, and will be presented at the North American public during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (January 9-22).
