Hot on the heels of Genesis Coupe pricing, Hyundai also revealed their trimmed-down Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec, a lighter, stiffer, cheaper choice with lots of fun go-fast parts.
The R-Spec brings a lot to the table by bringing less, targeted at the track day and tuner crowd who will be modifying their cars to start, so no Bluetooth stuff, no automatic headlights, cruise control, chrome trim, steering wheel buttons, and other nonessential doo-dads. It does keep all the good stuff though — four pot Brembos, Torsen limited slip differential, six speed manual and Bridgestone Potenza's wrapped around 19 inch gunmetal gray wheels. It also gets a more aggressive tune on the traction control system, 7% stiffer front springs and 15% stiffer rears, retuned dampers and thicker anti-roll bars.
Basically this is the Genesis Coupe we would be optioning were we in the market for one. Considering the price starts at $23,750, its going to be the darling of every high school parking lot.
