This engine would work for me
While some may take issue with the exterior design of the new Kia GT concept (some displeasure has been voiced over in particular of the headlamp design) there can be no question that what is under the hood is sure to impress. The GT concept is powered by a 3.3-liter turbocharged V6, producing 389 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque, with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

^^ Must be an old pic....they are already running the "final" camo cars on the road.
Why run an "old" mule when the car is essentially complete?

RHYS MILLEN RACING CONVERTS HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE INTO THE ULTIMATE TUNED SPORTS CAR WITH 5.0-LITER TAU V8 ENGINE
RM500 Genesis Coupe on Display at Hyundai's 2011 SEMA Show Booth
COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 1, 2011 – Making auto enthusiasts' wishes come true at this year's SEMA Show, Rhys Millen Racing's (RMR) modified Genesis Coupe features Hyundai's most powerful engine under its hood – the award-winning 5.0-liter Tau V8. The RM500 Genesis Coupe is a 450-horsepower machine with a distinct, production-ready look. This marks the fourth year of the partnership between RMR and Hyundai creating show-stopping vehicles for tuners and consumers alike.
"From the moment I saw the Tau V8 engine in the Genesis R-Spec sedan, I knew it would be a perfect fit for the Genesis Coupe, adding even more performance and power to the dynamic coupe," said Rhys Millen, owner, Rhys Millen Racing. "The sleek and practical exterior modifications would allow this Genesis Coupe to look good parked in your driveway or turning laps at the track."
In addition to the Tau V8, the all-black Genesis Coupe receives a custom RMR stainless exhaust with GReddy rear section muffler and titanium tips, oil cooler and rear differential cooler. These mechanical enhancements give Hyundai's most powerful engine an extra 20 horsepower boost.
"The RMR RM500 Genesis Coupe is a natural home to showcase the performance capabilities of the powerful Tau V8 engine, available in the 2012 Genesis sedan," said Mike O'Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Rhys Millen Racing has taken the Tau's power and the Coupe's tuner-friendly driving architecture to create a true show-stopper for SEMA this year."
The RMR RM500 unveils a new line of RMR products for the Genesis Coupe, featuring a RMR carbon front lip, carbon spoiler, carbon rear diffuser, carbon side skirts, carbon fog light ducts and carbon grill. The Genesis Coupe also showcases HRE 793-RS 19-inch wheels, Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires and Brembo carbon ceramic rotors with Brembo six and four piston calipers. The inside of the vehicle features the RMR suede trim package and Sparco accents.

What older design? They're using the 1G/pre-MMC body with the V8 or are you not talking about the V8 Genesis coupe?

^ The 2013 model is just a refresh, albeit a substantial one so no AWD.
AWD for the GenCoupe won't be available until the next gen - which probably won't launch a year or so until the next gen Genesis sedan launches - which is set for launch in 2013 in Korea (so we're probably talking a 2014 US launch as a 2015 model).
Also, it seems like Hyundai will be pairing the next gen GenCoupe with its more natural pairing, the new compact RWD sedan that Hyundai has in development instead of the larger Genesis sedan.
As for the Tau-powered GenCoupe, there is some talk that Hyundai may decide to do a limited production run of a V8 GC, but we'll have to wait and see (supposedly RMR had to rework the engine bay so it's not as simple as just dropping in the Tau).

Looks better than the spied one for some reason
I really don't like the LEDs in the front though. It seems a little cheesy on this car.

Seriously, I think (hope) it will look a bit more tame in person.Hyundai needs to cut back from their over-swoopy design language a bit.
Kia puts out the best looking designs hands down.
How
would it be if the peeps at Kia got to design the Genesis Coupe.....

I've been waiting for you to post something...
Sounds pretty good to me.
BTW - Is there any more pics that havn't been posted here?
2.0T will see 260 hp (regular) and 275 hp (premium), preliminary figures. 3.8 V6 will see 340 hp (regular) and 348 hp (premium), again preliminary figures. With a slight MPG bump of +1.

**UPDATE** It’s now believed the shots shown are Photoshopped images, not authentic Hyundai source material. However, the images look similar to other spyshots we’ve seen recently, leading us to believe that the upcoming re-style of the Genesis Coupe will incorporate more of the company’s corporate design language as seen on the Veloster and Elantra.
