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 [...]
Buschur Racing Gets Their Genesis Coupe
Buschur Raching has their 2.0T Track in their hands now. It’s nice to see that big name tuners are getting into the Genesis Coupe with this kind of enthusiasm. As soon as they got the car, they posted up some nice pictures in this thread on GenesisForums, then moved onto the dyno and started testing [...]
Drift Genesis Coupe Spottings
I woke up today to an inbox stuffed full of emails and news reports of Genesis Coupe’s used for drifting – I’m sure everyone knows about the Rhys Millen Red Bull drift car, featued here by MotorAuthority. Anyways, here’s a short video titled “Drifting 101 with Rhys Millen”: Then, we have 0-60 Magazine doing [...]
AMS Tears into Fuel System
Again, the folks over at AMS Performance know their priorities, as the secret to good tuning is good fuel control. They took apart the fuel system, pulled out the fuel pump, and posted the results of some bench testing. The fuel pump looks easy to get to and provides nearly the same flow as a [...]

Again, AMS Performance spares no effort, and wastes no time in putting their 2.0T Genesis Coupe under the knife. This time, they have the Genesis Coupe on a lift, and they examine the exhaust system in detail. The exhaust system is made out of 60mm (2 3/8″) piping, with a neckdown to 45mm (1 3/4″) near a [...]
AMS on the Fast Track to Parts for Genesis Coupe
AMS Performance is wasting no time at all getting their hands dirty with their new 2.0T Genesis Coupe. Their latest development is a BPV block-off plate – since the BPV on the 2.0T is on the turbocharger itself, this place removes that BPV and allows for a BOV or BPV placed along the charge piping, [...]
496HP Turbo 3.8L V6 Genesis Coupe
I don’t know where this build orginated from (Sources say Autz in Korea, but I can’t find anything about them) but I’m seeing threads for it made on a bunch of websites like GenCoupe and LowMotion - what we have here is another member with the V6 model with an aftermarket turbo bolted on. This particular [...]
2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 vs. 2010 Camaro V6
Edmund’s Inside Line has just pitted the 2010 model year Genesis Coupe against the 2010 Camaro, and the results aren’t what you would expect. Both cars do great, but the while the Genesis Coupe holds the upper hand with it’s quick 0-60 times, the Camaro hold the advantage for higher skidpad numbers. Still a great [...]
Greddy Prototyping Genesis Coupe Exhausts
Looks like Greddy is hard at work prototyping new exhauset kits for the Genesis Coupe. With the sleek look of the Genesis Coupe and the nice dual exhaust cutouts, we can begin looking forward to clean looking quad tipped exhausts, like the picture above.

ECU Reflash on 2.0T Yields More Power
ECU reflahes have been out for the cars over in the Asian markets, but now that the cars have hit US soil it suddenly becomes more interesting. Attatched is a picture of a dyno tune that was done to a 2.0T Genesis Coupe that was otherwise stock. It showed a healthy gain of around 35PS, [...]
