SEOUL, South Korea — Hyundai showed off the face-lifted 2013 Genesis Coupe to the Korean press this weekend, with the U.S. debut slated for the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January.

The updated Genesis Coupe made its first public showing at the Korea Speed Festival 2011 in Yeongam, after Hyundai released the first official images of the car on its Facebook page.

For model year 2013, the car gets a new face that resembles the more aggressive look of the new Veloster, with redesigned grille, headlamps and bumper.

But the big news is under the hood, where Hyundai has upgraded both engine offerings.

The base engine, a turbocharged 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder, now makes 275 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque, compared with 210 hp and 223 lb-ft for the 2012 model. The uplevel engine is a 3.8-liter direct-injection V6, which now delivers 350 hp and 295 lb-ft, compared with 306 hp and 266 lb-ft for the outgoing engine.

It look hideous, but take a look at the HP numbers they got after Direct Injection.... Nissan needs to step it up ASAP.

the front end i dont like but the increase in hp is very interesting...

Could be, but until we see it on the street numbers on paper are not much.
It originally was suppose to be even with the 370z but once it hit it was always slower in 1/4, track times, etc. Can't just throw HP at it and make it better.

I think it still looks unique, and the power is great! But I hope they did something about the ride quality and cheap interior feel.

Also hoping the price stays hyper-competitive.

More concerned with dynamics than power, hopefully they stepped it up

I hear they are just buying Mustangs and selling them as Gen Coupe. :stirthepot:

wat really cracked me up was that these koreans even had the urge to use a 380GT badge on the trunk like a nissan skyline (non-GTR). :shakes head::rofl2:

Just last week I saw a VW Beetle that had a GT-R badge on the back. I wish I had gotten a pic of that :bowrofl:

This is gonna be a fun car, especially with those torque figures. But I agree, not liking the facelift. Looked better before in my opinion.

The Z is unstoppable in the looks department.

Nice specs. I don't really mind the facelift.

Like everyone else I hope that they improve the driving dynamics. Could be a pretty stout package if they do.

:barf: on the facelift

I like it all.. I'm scared for the z at the rate they are going with the gen coupe..
