Yeah but in its current bodystyle it just wouldn't fit. Rhys Millen tried it all kinds of ways. He wound up making a few ultra limited MR versions with the v8, that cost $80k each. They had to omit the backseats to add the motor. Hyundai had no plans of getting into the MR business with the gencoupe chassis.
So, it would be common sense to go the next best route, Forced Induction.
