Nice pics. Looking like a really good RWD platform for around 22k (4 cyl turbo ) model.

 

I was pretty excited about this, but isn't it clocking in at like 3700lbs?

 

Gosh I hope not.

Edit: In the pics from the tuner invite, I see a guy in a Forced Performance T Shirt - hrmmmmm? Thoughts FP?

Yea old news for sure............

A big Wig at Hyundia in a car mag about 3-4 months ago said that the internals are good for 28+psi stock, and said it was made that way with the "tooners" in mind.

That and a stock lsd,, and you young "tooners" are going to have a fast , fun, cheap car!!!!!!

 

Hyundai's going to hit the mark on this one. As it stands there are few cars in this segment.

 

I was really excited until I saw 3439lbs...

 

Yeah, it's a bit of a porker, but it has the potential to make enough power to overcome it.

 

this car ahs been a long time commin, I think the evo x might be old news when this hits the market, but then again they are two different cars with different purposes.

 

GT-R??

 

Nice link Evoish2wish guy,,,,,,,,,,

Too bad the Zf tranny is only avaliable in the v-6... always has to be somthing.

The 6 speed zf auto is the same used in the BMW 135, and 335's I believe.

And if thats the case,, that v-6 with the auto is going to be a fine car to have.

Keyless push button start, HID's, and a lsd,,, for under $27iish?


Plus a 100k warrenty,, I think they have a winner, for a guy who wants to keep a car for a long time, andf not modd it.

 

I'm kind of disappointed with the final production design. It is waaaay toned down from the aggressive conecpt design. I expected it to change a little bit, but this coupe looks very bland compared to the concept.

 

^Yeah, that looks bad ***.

 

Right but it's not the power that I'm worried about, that much weight reduces every aspect of performance.

 

If you changed out the front bumper/sideskirt/hood the car would be pretty similar. The cost of producing headlights in the fashion of the concept would be $$$$.
