The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Image: Hyundai - Need an excuse to visit Detroit in January? What is this: Hyundai will be launching a new Genesis Coupe in 2012 North American International Auto Show.? Details are still sketchy and Hyundai is not to say much to confirm or deny the rumors, but we know that the sports-car-of-the-Hyundai-family will obtain new exterior sheet metal. It is difficult to say the photo spy circulating on the internet, but does not appear as the car will be radically changed in size or shape, and we say that it is a good thing.

The car is also rumored to gain more power, which makes sense considering that the 3.8 liter V-6 in the Genesis sedan has already received a bump in the output. By 2012, the Genesis sedan jumped from 290 horsepower to 333, so it is logical to expect the same with the Genesis Coupe. The 2.0 liter turbo four should receive more grunt as well, but the details are very rare at the time. Expect that the four banger to make more power than the year spent 210 and possibly until 274, which is what produces the engine turbo Theta II in the Hyundai Sonata Turbo.
