The Las Vegas SEMA Show will start in under a months time, where the arena will be jam packed with everything that is tuning. One model we’d like to focus on right now is the GReddy X Gen Street Genesis Coupe. This model is a collaborative project between Hyundai and GReddy, and it just shows the amount of modifications possible.

GReddy has used the entry-level Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine to pump out 350-horsepower (261kW) with 320lb-ft (434Nm) of torque, which is quite a hefty upgrade from the original 210-hp and 223lb-ft.

The partners obtained this power by adding a new upgraded turbocharger, a large front mounted intercooler, a SE Spectrum Elite cat-back exhaust system and a MX racing downpipe. Other performance upgrades include a Type-S fully adjustable coil-over suspension kit, six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes and a few smaller modifications.

Styling-wise GReddy kitted the coupe out with a new lip spoiler, a carbon fibre hood, rear wing, Volk Racing G2 alloy wheels and a load of graphics to taunt on-lookers.

Inside houses a new set of Sparco racing seats, new gauges, a boost controller and a turbotimer.

All of the parts here will be released as a production kit, where there might even be other modifications to boost power to 500-horsepower (373kW).
