Any Genesis Coupe competitor?

[niky]

Nothing really comes close in the price/performance of the Hyundai Genesis here in the Philippines. Probably the MX-5 is the closest I can think of but that's worth 2M and it has a puny engine that will be shamed by the 2.0T Genesis, much more by the 3.8 V6.

The 2.0T hits 100 km/h in around 7.5 to 8 seconds. We've tested the MX-5 at 7.5 seconds. The performance is quite similar. The Mazda has much less torque, but only has 30 hp less and weighs around 500 kilograms less. So performance will actually be very similar. The Coupe will have much more top speed (the MX-5 peters out at just over 200 km/h) and should have more overtaking torque, but the MX-5 isn't going to be comprehensively outperformed by the Genesis.

Of course... the MX-5 costs as much as the V6, which will eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :hysterical: It'll still go from 0-topless in just ten seconds. The Coupe can't do that.

As per GH's post... a Focus TDCi with about 100k in mods will make as much power and be just as fast as a Genesis Coupe 2.0T... and it'll cost 300k less and have a dual clutch gearbox, to boot, which the Genesis doesn't have.
