Pikes Peak, home of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. A contest of driver skill, manufacturer engineering, and raw power all mix into the pot as a car is sent hurtling up the mountain in a fight against a loose surface and the ever persistent pull of gravity. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Tim.

In case you were wondering, this isn’t a specifically prepared car for the hill climb. In fact, it appears to be the car that Rhys Millen uses for drift competitions, powered by the turbocharged V6 powerplant.

“This is the first time Millen is making the run in his new Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and he’s evidently driving the same car he has been using in Formula D drift events all year long – complete with the Hyundai V6 powerplant. In fact, the car was trucked to Colorado directly from last weekend’s drift event in Las Vegas.”

SeoulfulRacing has a handful of a Genesis coupe on display, this time a supercharged 3.8L V6 with 430RWHP. Thats more than most entry level sports cars! Combined with the excellent chassis, it should yield a boatload of fun on the road and on the track. They also hint that a kit may be available soon over in the states, so keep your eyes peeled! I’m wondering what they’re using for engine management and fueling, as they seem pretty tight lipped about the deal. Click “Read more” to see the pictures and video that we mirrored here. The video shows a short street race between a 3.8L Turbo, a 3.8L Supercharged, a E55 AMG, and a supercharged E46 M3.

One of our customer just had his SC set up done @ our shop
dynoed at 430rwhp using 0.5 bar (about 8psi) pulley.

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 one has a rebuilt engine with forged internals to be able to make a very healthy 504PS (496HP) to the wheels. We’ve mirrored the pictures here, but if you have any more news or information on this build please let us know!

Just found this gem on the GenCoupe forums here - someone has already started working on the 3.8L V6 in the name of “MORE POWER” and bolted up a turbo to it. Looks interesting, though no one knows anything about it. The images are watermarked “Automobiletechnik and design” – if anyone knows anything more about this particular car, or have anything else interesting to show us, please send it in by clicking the “Contact Us” on the top right! More very high resolution pictures after the jump!
