The Hyundai Coupe may finally receive a replacement worthy of being called a sports car. The spyshot above shows the new Hyundai Coupe on tests, however what’s interesting is the new Hyundai Coupe will be based on Hyundai’s new BH platform, which will also underpine the Hyundai Genesis. And like the Genesis, it will be rear wheel drive! Yes, the Hyundai Coupe will finally be able to do doughnuts and swing around the corner in the typical RWD style, shoved along by a Tau-family 300 horsepower 4.6 litre V8 engine.
As a sidenote, have you seen this twin-engined all-wheel-drive Hyundai Coupe? Check out more spyshots including one of a pretty sweet-looking interior that somehow reminds me of the Subaru B9 Tribeca’s interior after the jump.

first to comment!
its fabulous!
what?
the picture is not the same as the true model.
i've seen the new hyundai coupe here in egypt.
not very nice.
the old one is better in terms of the exterior
WTF is wrong with you people? So what if you are the first commentor? What shit does it give you? Damn! Try being first in the class first, not on a comment board.
Ok, back to commenting.
ar: The so-called new H-Coupe, that is more like a facelift to the previous model, which means it's probably still using the same old chassis.
This covered shot, the front, reminds me of an MG though. Odd.
The steering wheel looks like its inspired by the Civic. Don't know how it looks like, but the tall stance doesnt make it that sporty enough.
The short front overhang looks nice, like what every RWD car should be. But the wheelbase seems short (especially behind the front wheel arch), and wonder how cramped the engine bay will be since the powerplant is a 4.6L V8 engine and how the car will achieve good front:rear weight balance.
woi charger…why scold me u ass
More disguise!!??
too much cover for the appearance..
hope to c the tremendous improvement on Hyundai.. cheer!!!
Exterior shape looks quite similar to current coupe which tries to look like a Ferrari F430 in front and RX8 at the back. But the interior looks much better. New position for the power window switch too.
Teyes)he interior feels confident enough.. but somehow i can still sense that weird old Hyundai coupe(the one with big bulging) lurking somewhere underneath those covers.. and the the four holes in the front are air scoops? or just there is mislead people.. anyway will have to wait till the dress fall off…. before can say anything…
and btw…. what is the deal with commenting 1st in each single post and proudly proclaiming to the whole world at the same time… talk about being weird… the old coupe is for you weirdo.
lol..do you all know about GT cars? a grand tourer! just think of any car in the market which gives u the sporty 2 door sports coupe looks, stylish interior, powerfull engine will 6 speed manual.. very stable and quiet at high speed..and can do speeds up over 200kmh effortlessly.. and it cost half as much as other rivals but still looks as expensive! i will look forward to make long journeys if i got that car..Fantastic!
the interior really looks good,doesn't look korean-ish at all… good effort
The front looks like an MG! Side profile is nice, and it's rear-wheel drive, cool!
when are we going to have a proton coupe?not to mention V8 engine.
rear wheel drive- right choice, hyundai!!!!!
4.6 liter V8 producing 300 horsepower. What's up? I'd just assume this is not the crank output. If it were then we're actually getting around 270hp from a 4.6 ltr V8 which is another 'amazing' feat from Koreans i would say. :p
And for those who would always try their best to relate the looks of korean products to some other cars (in which apparently the car is covered!)
GO DIE. STUPID
Is it true that Koreans are proud of their cars?
I mean, are the Koreans proud of their Hyundai, Kia,and Ssangyong?
I think going to be one affordable coupe. Gratz to Hyunday. In the meantime, Proton can make that big papermache PM5 to reallife too
pretty good……………nothin much to say bout this car..hmmmmmh
Hyudai really keep growing …. using V8 now … the old model V6 also not bad … in the short time the Htudai coupe will be compare wif those italia super sport cars … But wait our P1 putra … only 1.8Dohc wif 140ps ??? P1 where is our new coupe ??
HondaDriver : You have something to say ?? don't simply cut ppl coment …..this is anynoing
it really seem to resemble the Hyundai HCD-8 concept launched in 2004. If so, then there is a possibility of Hyundai using the supercharged 2.7V6 that was inside the bonnet of that concept. Perhaps that's what the air vents are for….

(hope the link works)
btw… it was mentioned in the article that the HCO-8 has air suspension …. i wonder if the new car will have it or not?

GO DIE STUPID…,,(korean cars)
