Hyundai's much anticipated RWD coupe has been caught at a recent market research event.

Thanks to a photographer at the event we have the first real...fully naked photos of the new coupe sitting next to its main competitor, the Ford Mustang.

The all-new RWD coupe that is based on the upcoming Genesis sedan platform is expected to be officially unveiled at the LA Auto Show next week as the Concept Genesis Coupe.

The new coupe is going to replace the current FWD Tiburon in the Hyundai lineup. It is still not known if the coupe will still use the Tiburon name. It is rumored that the coupe is going to be offered with a 300 horsepower V6 and possibly the same Tau V8 in the Genesis sedan. The coupe is also expected to get a 215 horsepower 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder.

According to sources the 2.0L turbocharged coupe is going to start at $19,900 and the 3.8L V6 with 300 horsepower is going to start at $25,900.

The coupe is expected to hit showrooms late next year as a 2009 model.

hmmm not a huge fan of the rear quarter window nor the side curves... I hope those don't make it to production. I hope they make a version with the 350+ hp V8 we keep hearing about. Although I bet you could tune the 2.0l turbo to be faster than the v6, along with the weight and price savings that would be a good deal and a fun car.

V8 inst? isn't? well how do you know? those are just the first release models. A V8 model could follow up in a year or two after release of the first initial two.

Hopefully companies will make more aftermarket parts available for this car when it comes out its already hard enough to get parts for my Sonata.

No v8 in the BK. It was said all along. The Sedan will get the v8. 200 + hp Theta II turbo engine. 3.8L 300 (+-) HP DI Lambda II v6.

Well they might say that now because they want people to buy the car and then when sales have died off they come out with a V8 version. Its simple marketing strategy. No one knows if in a couple years it will have a V8.Even if Hyundai is saying it won't. IMO.
