  • I love how they redid the entire car to make it a professional drifting car barely using any Hyundai parts in the end and the car still doesnt drift...

  • would they use those tires in that car while drifting? they looked like racing slicks..

  • omg they need to put in underground 3 if there was a underground 3

  • Radical. Lol.

  • ok that car looks really sweat, with the spoiler and the black rims with white lines.

  • dang that video was awesome lol i love how he explained stuff about the design and function of the body kit, i think he should go through the entire car and explain everything, that could keep me entertained for hours

  • Nice drift.

  • Why wasn't there any drift in the drift car?

  • Why wasn't there any drift in the drift car?

  • Hot damn :D

  • high quality mod ...congrats:)

  • ok, so i know about preformance on this car but how about the tuffness?, by this i mean... if the hunday motor its gonna live more than a toyota or a mitsubishi motor having the same amount of abuse on them, i know hunday parts are cheaper but maybe thats the reason in thinking they wont resist a lot of abuse on them

  • @lethalpro Fair question. The good thing is that it comes with a 100K mile bumper to bumper warranty. If you mean abuse in the motorsports sense, supposedly the V6 is supposed to make insane power when boosted (according to RMR, at least). Nobody knows for sure, though, because the aftermarket hasn't cracked the ECU yet.....therefore no boost.

  • @jaeminseo ok, i get it

  • Why are people arguing over shit stuff ! Just enjoy the fucking video assholes !!

    Hyundai looking slick for once ;)

    Conclusion: Its JAPANESE !!!!!

  • @supramaniac7 isnt hunday Korean? :S

  • Han day,shity car for stupid americans

  • I love how he says car.

  • very nice sound :)

  • NICE!!!

  • stop hating make your own car you assholes. i bet the world will say wtf is this its made in US? oh wait China

  • Haha yeah you can't even call that a Hyundai anymore. Nice work though :)

  • ive ALWAYS prefered muscle cars over import (i dont hate them, just a preference), and i ESPECIALLY overlooked a Hyundai... but honestly this Hyundai is starting to get my attention. great look, and if money grew on trees id pick one up for myself... probly have to de-badge it though because Hyundai's logo is :(

  • @LittleBigMarcus comes with a genesis logo :D

  • Dude, That car is kinda sexy... And I'm one to hate anything other than American, but shit, the new muscle cars are really flimsy, trust me, I was going to by a 09 Stang and the interior door panel was cracked, on the showroom floor. The new Camaro, something was up with the clutch on the one I drove, so I decided to by an old 96 Charger and fix it up.

  • look what the world has become :( people are replacing pontiacs with hyaundais !!! whats next , Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifting in a kia?

  • @nilesh572

    What the fuck are you talking about? Nobody ever liked a fucking ugly ass pontiac.. fucking reason why they shut down now gtfo before you start saying you like a toyota too.

  • look what the world has become :( people are replacing pontiacs with hyaundai!!!! whats next , Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifting in a kia?

  • i think this car is great

    i like it

    like the style and the performance 300hp for 3.8 liter engine

    its nice and got the power

  • @palastiensolder 306hp from the v6 and 210hp the th 4 cylinder, the v6 can also put out close to 340hp with just a ecu reflash

  • Hyundai started making their cars different when they bought the accords blue print build plans from honda and started using some honda motors.

    For exteriors...they do the exact same copy of whatever car is trendy.

    The front looks to me like a 350, civic, audi r8 copy.

    Wish there was new cars that really are a fresh breathe

  • @krazyblurtzcrx so the front of the car looks like a japanese sports car/german super car, you seem confused...

  • where's the drifting?

  • this isnt even a Hyundai anymore its a custom car

  • 1:16 guys not only makes cf fenders but him and his brother mario are excellent plumbers, they can save your princess and make a mean cheese pizza.

  • hyundai usually produces cheap,boring cars made out of second class materials so even if its higher than premium brands in jd power initial quality survey you still wouldn't buy it because it's boring

  • i love all the hyundai haters. this car is the real deal. the next "s-chassis" sort to say. this is what all rusted out 240sx drivers have been waiting for. its about time a company made an amazing rwd car with a factory turbo in north america. This car is the next big platform and for all the hater's you can go suck it. im 100% pure nissan .... with only 4 years of driving under my belt i have owned 13 cars and only one was non nissan (vw golf diesel - best car ever for fuel).

  • i thought it was a drift car i didnt see one drift

  • why would you glorify a hyundai?? that intercooler its tiny as shit!

  • @kurtnesass Because that glorified Hyundai will destroy whatever you drive. The new Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 3,8V6 will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.

  • @kurtnesass almost as unsatisfactory as the little nub you call a penis!

  • it must be nice to have resources to do stuff like that

  • @aznfryk not so much in F.D, the speeds are too low... try DTM

  • Failure Hyundai

  • looks gay with the spoiler

  • fucking nice car:D

  • not a big fan of the body kit and huge ass spoiler to extravagant for my taste

  • @gtrracer9107 lol its a track car, the scoops in front of the car and the spoiler give it downforce.

    so the air pretty much puts some weight on the car to get more grip on the wheels

    for sometimes speed and handling.

    I kno ricers killed the spoiler, i saw this huge ass one on a civic that looked like a supra spoiler but XXL i bursted out laughing

  • Dudes.. With all this modifications, this isnt even a genesis anymore.. WTF

  • did you guys use the stock motor? i heard the motors are "shit"

  • @kamilpolniak They used a nissan motor for the first bit of last years season, I believe. It's running the Hyundai engine now though

  • @keldonsgay and hows the hyundai motor holding up?

  • Thats a nice Hyundai

    

  • where the fuck is the drifting? if i wanted to see a car make a right turn i would just wait at an intersection.

  • Hyundai is just moving toilet

  • hyundai really??? if you suped up toilet it would be better than that peace of shit.

  • @Vedad24 hyundai makes outstanding automobiles, better than ford, chevy, and rivals toyota, honda.  very reliable and cheap. so please, refrain from your haphazard inferences.

  • mmmmmmillen! i love seeing cutting wheels, grinders and torches!

    this is an awesome lil car. and that millen took on a dang hyundai for a project says a whole hell of a lot to me!

  • That is a very good looking car =]

  • W.S.I.R horse thief mtn!

  • 6 Weeks... Something like 2 months, Why he was so stressed? On "Jesse James is a dead man" they build a modified car in One day..

  • The stock version isn't fast for a reason. Don't you think it would be boring to half drive a fast car? You touch the gas, then, oh! Speed limit!!! Plus, take into account the fact that Hyundai wants to make cars for the general public, not a total speed demon car. Next year's Genesis coupe will have a V8 that will be more powerful than the Ford Mustang's normal V8.

  • UGLY ASS CAR

  • Ya shut the fuck up billybileci

    Not everyone is technical with cars

  • Its faster than R35 GTR same engine but its non twin turbo

  • The v6 Genesis is a Hyundai I would definitely own. Its a shame we don't get them in australia yet :(...and this comes from someone who's always disliked Hyundais for their lack of performance, and cheap plastics / interiors..

    Kudos on this car and the standard one! They look and perform admirably

  • feender

  • Why doesn't Hyundai just give Rhys an empty shell of this car? They pretty much replaced everything but that.

  • listen to my voice yerrrr man i love my voice yerrrr wer going to do this n that but who cares listen to this video i have yerrrr.. god im so awesome, heres some techno. skip to 2:08 2:59 yerrr im talking again, come kneel with me n watch me caress the car yer i wont stop talking. rub oil on my nipples n tell me you love me please, why dont you look at me when we make love yerrrr im so lonely yerr my ass is sore why cant we use lube im tired of crying oh no the videos over.

  • el frente esta muy feo

  • this guys got an australian/american accent. haha

  • shut up and show the car drifting..

  • i dont love this car

  • not bad for a Hyundai

  • idk why everyone thinks these cars are so fast from the factory..they are like mid to high 14sec cars. Thats pretty normal for almost any new car now days.

    Im not hatin, my buddy has one, the seats are comfortable as shit and the interior blue lights at night are fucking sick, the flake in the paint job is also amazing, well in black anyway. But as for performace...eh..unless you got all out race car like this one i dont see these being to high on the list.

  • Simply beautiful, No matter what make or model, when it comes to cars like these, there is always art in them. To all that hate, i hate you.

  • i work for hyundai and it is a sweet ride!!!and is fast,so dont hate just drive one u will see...

  • thats a really beutiful car man, i wish i had one i dont know why u hating just because its a hyundai

  • I like the look of it alot more with the red bull paint job.

  • 2~3 years ago is ancient ago for K-car, don't talk non-sense idiot, '786driftking ' Ye shit head may be swimming 10 yras behind, U Fkr JP..

    Hyundai Kia have virtually got nothing to blame these days, actually the best car " for the money" can buy,, but any other choice?

    you are simply throwing away the best value option, period, Don't be a fool to go by old stale name brand, You can not afford to fool youself in the toughest economy now

  • Yes, its still a Hyundai ... but todays Hyundai isnt the same like Hyundai 10 years back and going to be better...

    Remember, where was Hyundai 20 years back, this company made the same jump in last 10 years like many other companyes in much higher time. Sometime in the past it should be very good car maker..

  • @MrDashCZ

    fortunatley history repeats itself

  • @PhillzTV May be, we will see ;) .... im not going to buy it, so im calm :D

  • CGuffin08

    Produce some NORTH AMERICAN CAR QUALITY Genesis...become the 4th car maker on planet earth...Haters will always hate.

  • you still look stupid homie

  • u cant even make a valid point

  • Comment removed

  • its because u cant critisize on "our" brands cause they are apparently too good for hyundai, u know wat why dont u go learn about REAL tuner cars and tell me wats better a 370z or a genises coupe

  • Comment removed

  • hahahahaha wat is this? fucking mad tv? its just that your changing the subject with prices and other irrelevant shit and your not telling my zip wats good about performance and wat kind of parts it has...ok fine ill till u one thing the hyundai genesis has thats good cause apparently u dont know anything about cars, the genesis has brembo brakes... oh wait, an 09 gtr, evo and impreza wrx sti have brembo brakes....

  • Comment removed

  • That's a Hyundai I wouldn't mind owning.

  • nice car from hyundai! but for me a nissan silvia offers more!

  • uhh what?

    the genesis is a newer car, comes with better stuff from the factory, and not to mention a more sturdy engine.

    retard.

  • ive meet this guy at the redline time attack last may. and he has a hell of a hand shake

  • lol rhys's accent is Still Kiwi with that hint of american in it, Rhys rules!

  • sometimes the car, always the driver...

  • Damn they did a great job on this car it's beautiful.

  • I agree !! well mostly all cars can end up beautiful ...

  • Comment removed

  • that car is very sexy!

  • Hyundai Lambda V6 engine, bored to 4.1L, with Turbonetics turbocharger. Beautiful engine.

    He's putting mid-mounted Tau V8 engine with turbocharger for next year's race. That's gonna be something.

  • @negromonk its actually a 3.8

  • @inkster69 in the other video u hear him saying tht from a 3.8 he upgrades the engine onto a 4.1 then supercharging very powerfully turning it into a 500 hp ANIMAL... douche

  • @billybileci Chill out pussy.

  • @billybileci turbo but W.E

  • Art..

  • i want toyota celica

  • song name anyone?

  • sales guy is wrong its the evo x or 10 engine configure a little differently, but are the same engine

  • this is what i wana do for a living but i dont know where any good schools are

  • Rhys is a professional drifter, rally driver and im sure a loooong history of other stuff. So he of course gets all of that money and falls into this because people look up to him.

  • wow im impress..

  • not necessarily a mitsubishi enginer per se' but they do share an engine

  • No. It's a Hyundai engine that won Pikes Peak in record time. Don't spread shitty rumors.

  • NICE!!

  • they turned that thing into a monster :)

  • lol funny how many people think the motor is hyundai, and how many people think they know anything about cars. how can u say hyundai sucks? do u have ur own car company?

  • bad quality?

    Where did you get that information?

    On the latest JD Power's Initial Quality Survey, Hyundai ranked higher than Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Acura, Volkswagon, GM, Ford, Lincoln, Volvo, Jaguar, as well as every other non-premium badges on the planet.

    So, what did you say about quality?

  • um so wat your saying is that its better than a r34?

  • How about you keep it in perspective ranges. Like a altima

  • or a 370z oh wait the 370zs better....

  • Why don't you look at its real competition and not what edmunds or motortrend has set it out to be.

  • ya your right more like a accord... no jk but this car is really over rated

  • Comment removed

  • im not fucking talking about a g37 im fucking talking about a 370z a mustang and the 370z beat the genisis by probably 3 WHOLE SECONDS and of course the 370z won out of those cars. and btw u dont see people putting slow hyundai engines into their cars

  • Comment removed

  • ya and? thats because hyundais arent as good quality, thats why when u get a genisis u change the engine parts and shit. how the fuck are japanese people asian germans, other asian people dont know how to do anything other than ensalve kids to work in a factory

  • Comment removed

  • @SpiagiaVita You fail.

  • @SpiagiaVita hyundai is the shit, my man

  • @SpiagiaVita almost true... the list is toyota honda hyundai wolkswagon kia ford chevy and chrysler

  • @SpiagiaVita shut up

  • dude martino u are so right and cramteh problem who fucking cares if he has his own car company at least he doesnt have a shitty one like hyundai. nissan all the way

  • that whole project's got to be damn expensive. and the only benefit thus far has been the pike's peak run. but its been hella sucking in Formula D. hope RMR can step it up next year.

  • i like nissan thas all !

  • am i the only one who likes this car if not tell me

  • I like it too. The more I read and hear about the more I like. I hear the 2.0 turbo motor is essentially the same motor in the evo 10. So internals should be easy to get. The car seems to have alot of potential. Most of the mags test the v6 version though.

  • i think this car is pretty ballin

  • I like it too :)

  • fucking idiot

  • looks a bit eye-talian to me....

  • Fucking racist, not to mention he looks more mexican than arab...

    Go cry to your inbred parents!

  • dident really get to see the car perform but this car is really something.. 850 pounds! thats amazing!! no doubt this car in todays market is one of the best deals..

  • like what toyota or a Honda..

  • ummm ur stupid....why are u talkinso much shit about a hyundai......ur just sum piss poor guy who has nothin better to do then talk shit about a car

  • it was up against the camaro

  • haha the front and rear splitter pieces he was talking about are going to be gone like 10 sec into a tandem drift so why put that much time into them

  • Your point is moot--- the Genesis was never intended to be a luxury car.

  • nice job....if only remodeling a car is cheap....I"ll do it myself.. anyways nice car!!

  • Well, there's obviously a market for it if they're selling it! But 300hp for only 20k is incredible. And even so, a decent mid-range sports car will still run you 26K like a base model Mustang GT. And it's definitely not an "econo-box" with a V6 Turbo. And 0 -60 in 6 seconds for 20k, i couldn't think of another NEW car that is as fast as that for the same amount of money.

    Also, I recon this thing will be quicker around the track because of it's LSD. Who does quarter mile races still? haha

  • Not to be too picky, but it's either a V6 or a turbo, not both.

    Still an amazing car. <3

  • you can have a turbo v6

  • I personally wouldn't buy this, but it's still a car that was well engineered for a cheap price and that's really what they were aiming for. Someone who wants a bit of thrill but not deep enough pocket books. Because let's face it, not everyone can afford the insurance, payments, running costs of something truly nice.

    I'm interested to know what car you have mate?

  • THIS ONE SUCKS BIG TIME!!
