Hurricane SC will present its tuning of Hyundai Genesis Coupe at the upcoming 2011 SEMA. The car is the outcome of a joint effort with Hyundai US and Rhys Millen Racing, a company that has developed several racing versions of Hyunday models in the past. The standard 3.8-litres V6 is now supercharged and provides the car with 450 hp, while air intake and exhaust systems have been modified too. The car comes with brand new limited slip differential, 19″ Enkei rims coupled with Hankook sports tyres, Brembo braking system with 6-piston calipers on the front and a high quality Harman International audio system. No official pictures are currently available, although we know that Rhys Millen Racing has taken care of the aesthetics as well (see the official sketch above).

In 2012 the Genesis Coupe will undergo a restyling of its front end that will be used in certain markets only, and this could become an opportunity to launch a mass-produced version of this tuning. The resulting variation might end up being a little less powerful than the Hurricane SC Genesis Coupe, but it would surely become a fierce competitor in the sports coupe market as the rumored plans for a V8 version of the Genesis never actually took shape, not even as a concept.
