Rhys Millen slides a V8 into the in return of Hyundai Genesis coupe because of SEMA grant:
Celestial drift-car driver Rhys Millen is heading to this year’s SEMA display with a 500-hp, Ferrari-inspired Genesis coupe with an odd mid-engine configuration. In the interim, California tuners GReddy Bringing off Parts are bringing a shoddy start dubbed the X-Gen Road Genesis coupe that pumps out 350 hp. Millen, who brought a Genesis coupe with float styling cues to SEMA last year, returns for the benefit of an encore by dropping the Tau V8 from the Genesis sedan into the back of the coupe, where it’s visible by the nurture hatch. This powerplant is paired with a five-speed sequential transmission, and top velocity is expected to be a flagrant 182 mph.
Called the RMR To save Rhys Millen Racing) RM460 Genesis coupe, it also gets a portion paraphernalia, carbon-fiber spoiler and exclusively carbon-fiber hatch. It rides on 20-inch wheels, Toyo T1R tires and upgraded brakes.
The auto employs most of the existing chassis parts but is fortified with coil-over components. The interior gets sports seats, more carbon-fiber parts and a power amplifier. Millen, who also is the Hyundai motorsports chief, says he crafted the based on the head-turning Ferrari 599XX. In that style, the SEMA put to shame automobile is painted a red color that recalls the Scuderia spillway cars, and its unhealthy profile is a nod to vast Ferraris lifetime and at this point in time the time being.
