Rhys Millen Racing Genesis
In case you didn’t know, Rhys Millen Racing was one of the first racing teams in the US to recieve a Genesis Coupe for racing. However, RMR’s Genesis Coupe only looks like a Genesis Coupe – the car had been significantly lightened (to a target of around 2400 pounds) and power bumped far higher than the stock car, along with custom widebody carbon fiber panels. The car looks great, to see more details of the build and on RMR see this post here with lote of pictures by Car and Driver.

Turning a relatively benign Genesis coupe into a tire-melting, single-minded asphalt-o-philiac with a target weight of 2400 pounds will involve removing all interior components not required to anchor the driver in place, stripping the chassis of all insulation, rubber, and adhesives, and then stitch-welding the structure for rigidity.
