Hyundai and Rhys Millen Racing (RMR) unveiled a juiced-up Genesis Coupe at the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. This time, they've come up with a mighty 5.0L V8 that produces 450 horsepower!


The Korean automaker's most potent engine, normally exclusive to the Genesis R-Spec sedan, has found a new home. The RM500 Hyundai Genesis Coupe also features a custom RMR stainless exhaust featuring a GReddy rear section muffler and titanium tips, as well as oil and rear differential coolers that provide an extra 21 hp.


The intimidating, black-painted RM500 Genesis Coupe benefits from many other upgrades that highlight its unique character, including 19'' wheels, oversized Brembo carbon ceramic brake discs, and a full body kit.

Meanwhile, inside the hopped-up Genesis, you'll find an RMR suede trim package and Sparco elements.
