Genesis Coupe offers a 348­horspower, 3.8­liter direct­injected V6 standard, ensuring its buyer maximum powertrain performance at a very affordable price point. This powertrain ensures Genesis Coupe continues to carry its recognized success as a rear­drive, high­output performance sport coupe for everyday enthusiasts. For 2016, Genesis Coupe adds a new 6­inch color center display to the center stack, replacing the former dot­matrix display. 2016 Genesis Highlights New, vivid 6­inch color center­stack display replaces dot­matrix display 2016 Genesis Coupe Transmission MSRP 3.8 Base M/T $26,950 3.8 Base A/T w/Shiftronic® $28,150 3.8 R­Spec M/T $29,900 3.8 Ultimate M/T $33,750 3.8 Ultimate A/T w/Shiftronic® $34,950 AGGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MATCH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The Genesis Coupe strikes a menacing demeanor, with an aggressively designed front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and hood with heat extractor cues. The side view reveals aggressive 18­ and 19­inch alloy wheel designs with deep dimensional sculpting. Finally, the rear taillights provide a visual spark via premium LED illumination. Traditional rear­ drive sport coupe proportions are clearly evident, with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs producing a classic wedge­like profile. Genesis Coupe’s bodyside character line is an innovative “Z”­shaped design that integrates seamlessly with a unique, drop­beltline rear window graphic. Heated outside mirrors, fog lights, and LED daytime running lights are standard on all Genesis Coupes. Genesis Coupe’s arching roofline and tapering greenhouse highlight the exterior profile and emphasize the car’s broad shoulders and wide stance. To complete the aggressive sports car look, the depth between the fenders and the greenhouse is maximized. Large openings in the front fascia allow for optimal engine breathing coupled with an aggressive look. Dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated with the blackout rear diffuser treatment complete the performance message from the rear. POWERTRAIN A high­performance 3.8­liter, direct­injected V6 engine is standard in all Genesis Coupes. This proven powerplant offers sophisticated engine technologies, with direct­injection and dual continuously variable valve timing. The 3.8­liter Lambda DOHC V6 engine produces 348 peak horsepower at 6,400 RPM, with peak torque of 295 lb.­ft. at 5,100 RPM on premium fuel. In addition, Lambda­engine anti­knock technology gives this V6 the versatility to run on regular fuel whenever required. This direct­injected engine will easily propel the Genesis Coupe from zero to 60 mph in the lower five­second range on its way to an impressive 149­mph electronically­limited top speed. The Lambda V6 intake system also employs an intake sound induction pipe into the cabin to ensure this engine’s aural character matches its visceral appeal. To further broaden the power band, the 3.8­liter engine uses Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (Dual CVVT) and a Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe most efficiently at both low and high RPM. The combination of high­pressure, precisely­metered direct injection with efficient cylinder breathing results in outstanding throttle response and off­the­line acceleration coupled with remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency and features durable, quiet timing chains with no scheduled maintenance. All these technologies serve to give Genesis Coupe 3.8 an impressive power­to­weight ratio of only 10.1:1, significantly lower than the more expensive Infiniti Q60 and BMW 435i. 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8­liter Lambda direct­injected DOHC V6 Engine 2016 2016 2016 Genesis Infiniti Q60 BMW 435i Coupe Coupe 3.8 Coupe Engine 3.8L V6 3.7L V6 3.0L I6 turbo HP @ RPM 348* @ 6400 330* @ 7000 300* @ 5800 Power­to­Weight 10.1:1 11.0:1 12.0:1 (lbs./HP) Torque @ RPM 295* @ 5100 270 @ 5200 300 @ 1300­5000 * Ratings based on Premium Fuel The V6 engine also features deep, baritone­sounding dual cat­back exhaust to complement efficient breathing on the intake side. To ensure that all this power is evenly distributed to the pavement, Genesis Coupe also offers an available Torsen® limited­slip differential on R­Spec and Ultimate models. TRANSMISSIONS The automatic transmission has 8­speeds, with standard paddle­shifters for SHIFTRONIC® manual­shifting capability. In addition, the 8­speed automatic precisely rev­matches engine RPM to the exact selected­gear speed, for smooth downshifts into corners and superb dynamic balance, while an easy­to­read LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the selected gear at all times for the driver. In addition to the steering­wheel­mounted paddle shifters, the automatic offers shift capability via the shift lever according to individual driver preference. The V6 engine is mated to a standard six­speed manual transmission that features carbon synchronizer rings for smooth shift action and synchronizer durability. Each transmission has been specifically tuned to match the engine’s power and torque curve characteristics. SPORT­TUNED SUSPENSION No well­tuned sport coupe chassis should give the perception of being overwhelmed by its powertrain, and Genesis Coupe is no exception to this rule. Spring, damper, and bushing ratings all have been precisely calibrated to match these powertrains with superb road feel, precise body motion control and good ride comfort. The rear­wheel drive powertrain configuration provides a well­balanced 56:44 front­to­rear weight distribution. Genesis Coupe employs a MacPherson strut dual­link front suspension and a five­link rear suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid subframe that is lighter and stronger than a comparable multi­piece component would be. To help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe’s at­the­limit handling for maximum predictability, 23mm diameter front and 19mm diameter rear stabilizer bars are fitted. 2016 Genesis Coupe MacPherson strut dual­link front suspension 2016 Genesis Coupe five­link rear suspension While all Genesis Coupe models offer a true rear­drive sport coupe driving experience, the high­performance Genesis Coupe R­ Spec and Ultimate models raise the bar even higher with a differentiated, track­tuned suspension. The R­Spec/Ultimate suspension features both firmer front spring rates (seven percent) and rear spring rates (11 percent), with matched damper rates. The Genesis Coupe R­Spec/Ultimate models also deliver a significant increase in roll control over other versions of the Genesis Coupe via thicker stabilizer bars (24mm front/20mm rear). Genesis Coupes also use low­velocity­control dampers for refined ride comfort coupled with excellent body control. In addition, all R­Spec and Ultimate models receive front strut camber adjustment bolts that can be installed in the front strut assembly at their owner’s discretion. These camber adjustment bolts allow approximately ­1.5 degrees of negative front camber adjustment for sharper, more responsive apex turn­in and reduction of understeer. Of course, superb Genesis Coupe structural rigidity sets the fundamental foundation for dynamic precision, regardless of specific suspension calibration. STEERING Hydraulic, RPM­sensing rack­and­pinion steering has been calibrated with a quick, 13.8:1 ratio, delivering both linear feel and agile response to driver inputs. This steering ratio yields intuitive steering response and precision. To further optimize driver ergonomics, tilt and telescopic adjustment is standard. HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS Brembo® four­piston calipers clamp down on fade­resistant 13.4­inch ventilated front brake rotors and 13­inch ventilated rear rotors on both R­Spec and Ultimate models. All other models get substantial 12.6­inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4­inch rotors in the rear with floating single­piston calipers. UPSCALE INTERIOR The Genesis Coupe interior offers distinctive, upscale features and design cues. For 2016, it adds a new premium, 6­inch color display to the center stack. The leather steering wheel uses a premium grade of leather. The instrument panel cover features a stitched­seam appearance for a distinctly upscale look, and the parking brake lever is leather­wrapped on leather­equipped models. The instrument cluster features an electroluminescent gauge cluster for premium ambience and superior readability. A driver­side rear seat walk­in assist function provides convenient rear seat access from the driver’s side. Convenient seatbelt assist guides make it easy for front passengers to buckle up. Cruise control and floor mats are standard on all Genesis Coupes. A center stack multi­gauge cluster with instantaneous mpg, torque level, and oil temperature is standard on all trims. A center fascia tray with cover provides extra storage, and interior surfaces have a soft touch with low sheen for an up­market feel. Sport front seats with deep side bolsters offer superb lateral support for enthusiastic driving in all trim configurations. R­Spec seat bolsters are even deeper for extra support during spirited driving. Every Genesis Coupe comes equipped with standard proximity key with push­ button start, auto­dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®, and automatic temperature control. Among other premium features are an available Infinity® premium audio system and two­stage front seat heaters.
