Worldcarfans has received this photo from an anonymous source, is believed to be the production version of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Concept. While they can not 100% verify its authenticity, Hyundai refused to deny that it is an accurate representation.
Believed to be called the Hyundai i35 Coupe should go to dealerships during spring 2009. The car will get a 3.8 liter V6 engine rated at over 300 horsepower, with 250 ft-lb of torque, and mated with a six-speed manual transmission. 0-60 mph times could be less than six seconds. It was previously reported that the 2+2 rear-wheel-drive coupe is separate to the front-wheel-drive Tiburon replacement.
The prospective of the Hyundai i35 Coupe looks good. The production version stays really true to the concept's more chiseled side and front styling. One thing that makes us think is that Hyundai originally said a factory model of the Genesis Coupe Concept would have three slats at the front to assist engine cooling. Remnants of this can be seen at the fog lights, but not in the oversized grille.
The deliveries of this car originally planned for early next year, production of an alleged Hyundai i35 Coupe would begin this year. And that means this photo may be real.
