A post from the Korean Car Blog suggests that Hyundai’s new 3.3-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder GDi engine will find its way in the engine bay of the next generation Genesis Coupe. This engine generates 365 horsepower and 379 pound-feet of torque. Currently, the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V6 the coupe sports puts out 348 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque.
You’d be right in thinking that it doesn’t sound like a massive leap in power, but it is a significant boost in torque. Also, keep in mind that, as the blog post suggests, there’s lots of aftermarket upgrade potential, which is a crowd Hyundai is surely keen on appealing to.
As with all rumors, take it with a grain of salt. Hyundai has yet to suggest things one way or the other, so we’ll see if that becomes the case.
