The internet is abuzz with information about the Genesis Coupe that Rhys Millen Racing is using – it’s a heavily modified Genesis Coupe powered by a turbocharged 4 liter Nissan motor, a combination that is sure to produce quite a show of power. Sources say that the Nissan powerplant was chosen because of it’s penchant for power on short notice, but RMR will be switching back to the Lambda V6 once they sort out how to coax the same tire smoking power out of it. Click here to see the details from Edmunds Inside Line, and here for the details from AutoBlog. Edmunds also issued a correction later about the engine here. Thanks for the tip Loren!

It’s not like you think. It’s not busy. Or rushed. Or frantic. There’s no chopping at the wheel, no exaggerated stabs at the pedals. In fact, it’s just the opposite: small, highly calculated and immensely precise inputs direct theGenesis Coupe’s trajectory. Rapid but relaxed steering suggestions translate into dramatic changes in direction and speed. Subtle, deliberate prods at the throttle and shifter blur the scenery on one side, then the other.
