Our 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track is painted Bathurst Black. That's Bathurst as in Bathurst 1000, a 620-mile (1,000-km) race on Australia's Mount Panorama Circuit, a 3.9-mile road course with 23 turns, grades of up to 16 percent and a 1.2-mile-long straightaway named Conrod Straight after a spectacular engine failure endured by racer Frank Kleinig in 1939.

Only heavily modified Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores in the V8 Supercar series (Australia's take on NASCAR) race at Bathurst today, so there's no obvious connection to the unassuming black clearcoat on our V6-equipped 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track.

But as we drive the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, we can imagine Hyundai's chassis engineers fine-tuning the ride and handling of their first rear-wheel-drive coupe on the demanding Bathurst circuit. Probably the cost constraints of building a $30,000 car don't allow for working holidays Down Under. Yet the 2010 Genesis Coupe isn't some soggy two-door version of the Hyundai Genesis luxury sedan.

Instead you'll find a very capable chassis underneath the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track's arresting bodywork. Hyundai's sport coupe might not be track-ready out of the box, but it doesn't wither when we pitch it into Bathurst-like turns on lumpy two-lane roads.

Man where have u been this whole time??? Hyundai cars are more highly regarded than the shitty American cars u haters drive!! ^^

[BedShaker0909]

Your a typical stupid BMW Cock.. Google it out yourself.. It's people like you that make good cars, like BMW, look bad.. All cars are the same and have their own share of defects. Even Honda copies BMW design. Now that's a fact you Idiot!

@JunkyardMunky You're going to hunt 370Z's with a Genesis? Lol...hope a turbo is on your list...

[ThisIsSATA]

Sounds kinda like single turbo supra.

[XfireBlake]

@JunkyardMunky All three of the cars you will hunt will beat it except for V6 camaro. Now put a supercharger on it and the fun begins;) See my videos for what a SC V6 can do;)

i have a 2003 mach 1 and the only thing i don't like about it is the cramped space in the back. I sat in a genesis at a car show recently and was thrilled until i got in the back seat. less room than my mustang.... but way more refined everywhere else obviously.. i'd buy this car if i was looking to convert it into two seater beast hunting down 370z's, camaros, and mustangs.

@GMurphSC06GT yeah..which will break down first?? the american shit..ur right..no one will ever beat the american cars..i mean, things..u cant even call them cars...

[GMurphSC06GT]

Will never beat American Muscle,Ford,chevy,Dodge..

[Texarmageddon]

@Dart00Z I'm also trying to figure that out. HR Zs were only about 50lbs lighter.. weird

These numbers are way different than everyone else is getting (usually 20-40WHP less). They also don't match the quarter mile and 0-60 times the car actually gets. Makes me wonder what type of dyno they were using and in what gear.
