  • ARK Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec Track Edition to be revealed at 2012 SEMA Show

    ARK-Hyundai-Genesis-Coupe-R-Spec-Track-Edition-THUMBARK Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec Track Edition is in fact a mix of Hyundai’s high performance R-Spec platform Provides and the work of a Super Tuner such as ARK Performance. The ARK super-tuner track edition will debut at the 2012 SEMA show.

    The tuning includes impressive enhancements in terms of power. The original 3.8-liter direct-injected engine was boosted to the impressive 395 horsepower (290 kW) at 6800 rpm, with axle-flexing torque of 340 lb.-ft. (461 Nm) at 5400 rpm.

    The exterior carries also the touch of ARK Performance. The muscular character lines of the Genesis Coupe have been taken to the extreme, with race-like flared over-fenders, an aggressive front splitter, and carbon-fiber hood with heat-extractor vents.

    In general, ARK Genesis Coupe not only offers this unique outlook, but also has significant under-hood performance modifications, a race-like interior environment, racing differential, tires, brakes and suspension.

  • Hyundai with 5 Super Bowl Spots

    Hyundai-spot-shadowHealth and safety officials should be watching carefully because lo and behold, a Hyundai Genesis can perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). See that and many more with the car company’s ad campaign which is set to take over the Super Bowl for a fifth year with five spots this time.

    “Think Fast” is the name of the one we really liked. It features a Genesis Coupe R-Spec riding trough a generic wasteland with two individuals inside it – One venerable passenger who obviously knows a thing or two about success in business and a seemingly bored driver which is rather like a subordinate or a step son. Either way, Mr. Jenson (or Bob, the passenger) unwittingly suffers a heart failure much to the distress of the now in panic Anderson (driver). What follows is evident really. We just want to say that we really liked the idea of utilizing sudden bursts of torque to revitalize the human body. Then again, we also enjoyed watching that comedic duo being thrown around in the cabin as the seat belts obviously did their work just fine. So a point for Hyundai there. We also liked the safety annotation at the 0:15 second mark made to discourage people from actually trying out this stunt… unless they are professional drivers, on a closed road…. or at least with a medical degree.
