Η Hyundai ανακοίνωσε το Genesis Coupe ΜΥ2015, καταργεί τον 2-λιτρο turbo κινητήρα

Η Hyundai ανακοίνωσε το Genesis Coupe ΜΥ2015, το οποίο όπως γνωρίζουμε είναι διαθέσιμο μόνο στην αντίπερα όχθη του Ατλαντικού.

Στιλιστικά δεν υπάρχουν αλλαλές, με το νέο μοντέλο να διαθέτει πλέον στάνταρ LED φώτα ημέρας, ενώ η έκδοση 3.8 R-Spec θα διαθέτουν πλέον αυτόματο έλεγχο κλιματισμού και παθητικό σύστημα εισόδου. Οι μεγαλύτερη αλλαγή όμως, είναι η κατάργηση του 2-λιτρου turbo

κινητήρα βενζίνης, που απέδιδε 280 άλογα και 372 Nm ροπής. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι το μοντέλο θα είναι διαθέσιμο μόνο με τον τον προαναφερθέν 3,8-λίτρων V6 ατμοσφαιρικό κινητήρα, απόδοσης 350 ίππων και 399 Nm ροπής. Αυτός θα επιτρέπει στο κορεάτικο coupe να επιταχύνει για τα 0-96 χλμ/ώρα σε “χαμηλά 5άρια”, πριν η τελική του ταχύτητα περιοριστεί ηλεκτρονικά στα 239 χλμ/ώρα.

Τέλος, παρά τη διάθεση του με πιο ισχυρό κινητήρα, η Hyundai έχει καταφέρει να κρατήσει το μοντέλο της σε προσιτή τιμή, καθώς αυτό ξεκινά από 26.750 δολάρια (€19.930), όταν σε σύγκριση με το entry-level Genesis Coupe με τον 2-λιτρο κινητήρα ξεκινούσε από τα 26.350 δολάρια.

In addition, Lambda-engine anti-knock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on regular fuel whenever required. This direct-injected engine will easily propel the Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower five-second range on its way to an impressive 149-mph electronically-limited top speed. The Lambda V6 intake system also employs an intake sound induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural character matches its visceral appeal.

power band, the 3.8-liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM. The combination of high-pressure, precisely-metered direct injection with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle response and off-the-line acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet timing chains with no scheduled maintenance./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive power-to-weight ratio of only 10.1:1, significantly lower than the more expensive Infiniti Q60 and BMW 435i./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">The V6 engine also features deep, baritone-sounding dual cat-back exhaust to complement efficient breathing on the intake side. To ensure that all this power is evenly distributed to the pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen® limited-slip differential on R-Spec and Ultimate models.

smooth downshifts into corners and superb dynamic balance, while an easy-to-read LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the selected gear at all times for the driver.

The rear-wheel drive powertrain configuration provides a well-balanced 56:44 front-to-rear weight distribution.

Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring, damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely calibrated to match these powertrains with superb road feel, precise body motion control and good ride comfort./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson strut dual-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable multi-piece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s at-the-limit handling for maximum predictability, 23mm diameter front and 19mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are fitted.

While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true rear-drive sport coupe driving experience, the high-performance Genesis Coupe R-Spec and Ultimate models raise the bar even higher with a differentiated, track-tuned suspension. The R-Spec/Ultimate suspension features both firmer front spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (11 percent), with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe R-Spec/Ultimate models also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). Genesis Coupes also use low-velocity-control dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with excellent body control.

adjustment bolts that can be installed in the front strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment bolts allow approximately -1.5 degrees of negative front camber adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turn-in and reduction of understeer.
