The RM500 comes with Hyundai's most powerful unit, the 5.0 liter Tau
V8 engine, delivering in this configuration 450 hp (336 kW / 456 PS).
"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," says Rhys Millen,
owner, Rhys Millen Racing.
The RMR500 features a custom stainless exhaust as well as a full
carbon body kit which includes a grille, fog light ducts, front lip and
spoiler, rear diffuser and side skirts.
Brakes are from Brembo and wheels are the 19-inch HRE 793-RS dressed with Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires.
