This unit has an output of 330 hp and a maximum torque of 280 lb-ft (379 Nm). It also uses a racing clutch that works with the stock six-speed manual gearbox.

The vehicle, which features a set of StopTech brakes and Hawk racing pads, rides on the track/road through a set of Konig lightweight rims and BF Goodrich R1 street legal race tires.

"With its potent V6 engine and rear drive chassis, the Genesis Coupe has the ability to beat the current top guns that feature turbocharged four-cylinder engines and front wheel drive. It has ample power, terrific handling, and great reliability that become even more potent with the modifications we've planned."
