Hyundai has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and to prove that quality and driving experience has improved as well, they’ve invited the public to test drive their new Genesis Coupe this summer on autocross courses in various US cities. The Genesis coupe is the successor to the Tiburon, although they don’t market it as such, and is a marked improvement. We went down to the event at Phoenix International Raceway to see what it was all about.
Hyundai looks to reinvent the Honda CRX with its new small coupe. According to Hyundai CEO John Krafcik in an interview with Edmunds, the coupe will take 70-80% of its design from the Veloster Concept seen in these photos. The new coupe will slot in Hyundai’s lineup below the Genesis coupe, filling the gap left behind from the discontinued Tiburon.
