Everyone’s favorite punchline in a car related joke, the Fast & The Furious, just got a new cast member. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Despite not even being released for another year (movie and car), the Genesis Coupe is already confirmed to be in 4 Fast 4 Furious The Fast & The Furious 4.
All that despite that “think I’d let you drive a Hyundai” line from Tokyo Drift…err, not that I would ever waste my time with that movie.

Hmmm, I'm starting to have doubts about this interior. Definitely no where near G37 quality (check out the silver plastic of the center console). Still, I guess they have to save money somewhere....

Genesis Coupe also offers the convenience of a proximity key and push button starter.

I know it is being offered. I'm just saying those two particular models didn't have it. Ther're at the show, they have brembo kits, etc, etc.. I'm pointing out that they didn't put out loaded model at the show.

It's too bad because the buttons and knobs look decent.

Yep, the concept didn't even have an interior... and the car isn't going on sale for a year, so they haven't finalized what "loaded" is...

With that frontal design, it is now gorgeous.
Btw, what is hana? Is that a person's name or a name of group/organization?

Don't know if this has been posted before, but a lightweight "tuner" version would be pretty darn interesting...

Hyundai planning lightweight Genesis coupe, targa model to follow
On the eve of the official unveiling of the Genesis coupe, we were able to score a few details from company execs about the future of Hyundai's first foray into turbocharged, rear-wheel-drive goodness. While Hyundai will only be showing off two versions of the Genesis coupe in New York, more variants are planned for the future, including a targa model sporting a retractable glass roof (ala Porsche 911 Targa), a convertible, and, more compelling, a lightweight version only offered with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder.
Hyundai admits that only so much can be done to shed pounds from the coupe, which is already a rather portly beast to begin with, but by nixing some of the sound deadening material and possibly ditching the rear seats, Hyundai hopes that the sporting nature of the Genesis coupe will be fully realized. Naturally, this proposed lightweight model would have even more appeal to enthusiasts and could foretell a future motorsports campaign from an automaker that has thus far stayed off the performance junkie's radar.
