Hyundai is hitting this year's SEMA show with a vengeance, as usual, having announced a "rally-ready" Veloster and another Veloster by by PM Lifestyle. Today, the Genesis Coupe joins the party with a special Hurrican SC edition.
As you might have guessed, the SC to a supercharger. In this case, it's a liquid-to-air intercooled Magnuson unit co-developed with Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (HATCI) to deliver more than 450 horsepower from the standard 3.8-liter V6 engine.
"The HATCI and Magnuson supercharger demonstrates the high-performance potential of Genesis Coupe's V6 engine – the car was engineered to handle this kind of extra power," said HATCI senior engineer David Dutko. "Our HATCI engineers have been working for years with Magnuson to ensure high engine output is available on future Hyundai vehicles."
Other tweaks to the Hurrican SC include a full Rhys Millen Racing exterior body kit, 19-inch Enkei wheels with Hankook tires, a high-flow exhaust and intake, and LED headlights and tail lights. A Bilstein suspension, Brembo brakes, lightened flywheel and additional cooling capacity further boost performance. Inside, the car gets a Harman Lexicon audio system, Katzkin leather-and-suede seats, and other upgrades.
The car will make its debut at the 2011 SEMA show November 1-4 in Las Vegas.
