2012 Hyundai Genesis facelift spy shots
Pictured here in the latest spy shots is the prototype of a 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe facelift, which was caught recently in a heavy traffic somewhere in Seoul.
Despite the heavy camouflage, the 2012 Genesis Coupe prototype reveals the updated model will feature a set of new tail-lights and slightly redesigned rear bumper with revised tail-pipes. Furthermore, we can expect a restyled front fascia with updated headlamps -featuring LED daylights, slightly redesigned front bumper and more prominent signature grille.
Not much else is known about the 2012 Genesis Coupe, except of that the car will get more powerful engine and perhaps a brand-new 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Past reports suggest that the forth-coming Hyundai Genesis Coupe facelift will adopt the 2.0L GDI Turbo engine, which packs 274 horsepower. Such engine is already available in the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo and its sibling model, the 2011 Kia Optima Turbo.
Another rumor says that the 2012 Genesis Coupe could also get a 5.0L V8 Tau engine, which has been just recently introduced in the 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-specs, however, it is more likely that Hyundai will upgrade the current 3.8L V6 powerplant with gasoline direct injection technology to gain some horsepower.
There’s no official word on Hyundai Genesis Coupe facelift release date, but you can expect to see it making its official U.S. premiere towards the end of 2011, most probably at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Hyundai owners & enthusiasts, welcome!
I think there’s a hexagon under that.
Will it be an Elantra like Hexagon, or a Veloster like Hexagon?
Now that’s the question.
It looks like the improvements I’ve been wishing for are going to happen with this refresh.
A Gen Coupe that better fits into “Fludic Sculpture” might sell more copies than it does now.
I will buy one with 500 HP + one day as a toy when I need it.
I have a question why does nobody ever take a picture of the inside is it illegal or something
the photographer was right next to it we call all imagine what it looks like under the camo but we could know what the inside is like
N Also that double glass on the back looks sexcc
Hyundai needs to release a special V8 version of the Genesis Coupe to rival the Mustang and Camaro. I’m sure many former Ford and GM customers like my self are looking for something with more modern design lines and equal or better performance. The Mustang has not changed much over time and I did not like the Camaro in 69 so the current car is a dud to me.
It is expected that the new Genesis coupe will get a V8 engine or a V6 with improved power. But if they provide a V8 for coupe, than it is expected to stir the market.
