2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec - 2009 Chicago Auto Show Coverage, New car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
Hyundai says it intends the R-Spec "to appeal to true enthusiasts who want a low starting price and the ability to tune their car to their own specifications."

One of the few bright spots in what has been a bleak, anxious period for the auto industry has been Hyundai. Last year, the Korean automaker made a clean break from its econocar roots with the Genesis, an honest-to-goodness luxury sedan that took home North American Car of the Year honors. More recently, it let journalists drive the Genesis Coupe, a sport compact-cum-pony car that might just crash the new Mustang and Camaro's coming out parties. The ink hasn't even dried yet on those driving impressions, but that's not stopping Hyundai from revealing its next moves, namely, a racing program and more importantly the Genesis Coupe R-Spec.
