FactHyundai's first rear-wheel-drive sports coupe borrowed its bones from the Genesis sedan just to go after the Infiniti G37.
Hyundai's first rear-wheel-drive sports coupé, released on 13 October 2008 in Korea and in US dealerships on 26 February 2009 as a 2010 model, sharing its basic platform with the Genesis luxury sedan and designed by Eric Stoddard to challenge cars like the Infiniti G37. A Theta II 2.0T turbo four or a 3.8 L Lambda V6, with a Torsen limited-slip differential and Brembo brakes on the R-Spec and Track models. The 2013 facelift brought a twin-scroll 2.0T and a direct-injection 3.8, and the 2.0T left North America for 2015.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.0T Theta II turbo trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
