Hyundai working on twin-turbo, 365hp V6
 

Hyundai working on twin-turbo, 365-horsepower V6

Pretty cooling looking concept. Looks kinda Z-like with Z-like stats. Hopefully Nissan has something in the works that can crush it.

It wouldn't take much to beat those numbers. I can't believe a twin turbo V6 would only get 30 HP more than a N/A 370z engine. Something seems a little fishy...

Yeah, but look at the TQ #'s :yum:

All turbo cars are like this. They detune the car for better fuel mileage, lower temperatures, less wear and more longevity. Remeber the 99-02 Audi S4? 250hp twin turbo 2.7 liter v6 which magically has 330hp after a simple ECU tune. Add downpipes and exhaust and you're at 360hp.

Its in the 3.3L Twin Turbo mule. Rumor mill has the new Coupe being AWD with 420hp/390Tq. We hope. Id like a serious competitor to the Z35.

365 lol
It's 395 man.
Over 2 years old news too

News over 2 years old? I believe the concept image posted above by Lava is a "new leaked" image, according to The Korean Car Blog 24Feb/2015. Yes, it sound like they have had the engine for awhile, but I don't believe it's been put into mass production yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There's more news, recent, showing the mule, with an obvious inter cooler. Prob doing away with my 3.8 going to 3.3 turbo twin scroll, maybe AWD, 400+ hp.

It's old news man

Ahah! I was fooled again! Damn these web reports spewing out old shyt just to get some hits. Thanks for the correction ckim64 :tup:

Sidenote ~ "64" is my favorite number. Long live Nintendo 64! (god I'm getting old) :rofl2:

i think it looks good, (cause it looks like a nissan/infiniti/lexus/little ford copy, but no hyundai's for me.

I prefer a Z35. Better quality is guaranteed. But I respect Hyundais price per HP ratio and there's plenty of fun to be had in the genny. I'm a fan... Just not ready to plunge.

Here we go....

Exclusive: New Hyundai Genesis Coupe Surpass 400hp Mark - The Korean Car Blog

"When Hyundai Motor America’s CEO was interviewed a few days ago during the New York AutoShow he said: “This all-new engine would arrive on the Genesis sedan in 2017 or 2018 and have power in the ballpark of the company’s 420-hp, 5.0-liter Tau V-8 but weigh far less.”

Coincidentally our source mention this engine will be ready for production in late 2017."

Hyundai is doin' it... No Question!!! But, I have issues withthe transmission and suspension performance thus far. The Z only needs Koni/swift alignent and sways and it's a whole other animal. Linkage replacements improve the Z but it's not dire... as with the gencoupe, it's dire. The automatic options aren't quite as sporting as the 7AT. The "Originators" of sub-premium brand "DRM transmissions make the argment a win for Nissan. Though 300ms shifts are now slow compared to todays 100ms shifts. Hyundai is at about .500ms currently. Though hyundais shifts are a little smoother, they are slower... Me, I like the course shifting paddles. You're in sport mode, the car should be torquey and jerky. Don't like the jerkiness? Keep the muthafka in D till auto has reached third gear, then swiitch over. .:tup:

Yea, were kinda salivating over there, hoping this is true. We doubt it is sadly.

I think it'll happen... In very limited number, but it will happen. The 5.0 Tau, needs a sportier, more fuel efficient, lighter alternative. It's the best way to fit Tau power in a small coupe. But I see that car being around $60k

Which brings me the $60k Z rumor. If that's any true??? It will be pushing close to 500hp and will be out to compete against this Hyundai for that cash level. The future in M4 alternatives is how I see it for max price of $60k instead of starting at 65K.

Maybe you're right. I'd kill for a serious Z35 competitor at 75% the cost. I don't know how much credence is given to this but maybe 18 months ago I was reading a car and driver or road and track, etc, forgot which one but it had a big graph of "probability" in terms of what might to expect from manufactorers, one topic was "cars under $45k to do 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds." Porsche was like 7%, Subaru was like 25% and Hyundai was on there at 30%. Maybe they know something we don't? Lol

Hyundai's pricing structure has been nearing Nissan's this past generation. I wouldn't expect a 25% cheaper Z competitor in a gencar. More like 25% cheaper than infiniti and 10% cheaper than Nissan Z

this may make me jealous if Nissan doesn't do anything exciting with the next gen Z. If its true

Big difference between the picture in this thread and the link above. That concept looks like a luxury GT coupe with it's aesthetics falling just short.

Yes agreed... But seems that they are doing what Nissan won't by putting a TT motor in a coupe.
