News: Hyundai Genesis Tuned by Cosworth



Cosworth has dabbled into another project once again and this time, it involves a Hyundai Genesis. To debut in the upcoming SEMA show in the States, this project is called the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series Concept.

The Brit engine experts have shown many a times their capability of creating a powerful engine out of nothing and this bit of Hyundai will be another showcase of their many talents. Of course, it will be the same direct injection 3.8l V6 engine hiding under the bonnet but with a bit of magic Cosworth dust, this engine is now capable of 389 bhp at 6,400 rpm and 440 Nm of torque at 5,100 rpm. That totals up to a gain of 40 bhp and 40 Nm of torque over the standard V6. Sports suspension and brakes made by Cosworth are also made available to cope with the extra power output but specifics have not been revealed.


Matching the power are a few exterior and interior buff ups like a new aero front and blacked out rear diffuser, an integrated rear spoiler, satin-gloss blue finish, gunmetal lightweight racing wheels, bespoke two toned seats, steering wheel and gear shifter. Too bad the pictures shown here are renders of the real thing.
