Hyundai Genesis Coupe Scooped In Marketing Event - Details Included!

A full set of images featuring the upcoming rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis Coupe have been “leaked” into the internet and from the looks of it, the car in the picture is 99% production ready. The unknown scoop photographer passed the pictures on to a friend who in turn posted them on a Hyundai Tiburon forum.

According the person who took the photographs, the shots are from a
presentation comparison for marketing purposes that took place somewhere in the USA this June. In the pictures, the Hyundai Coupe is set aside a Ford Mustang, thus giving us an idea of its exterior dimensions. We remind you that Hyundai announced that it will reveal a concept version of the car at the 2007 L.A. Show (Nov. 16). -Continued after the jump

Apart from the images, the poster also added several details about Hyundai’s new rear-wheel-drive coupe that were revealed at the presentation.
