BTR Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Preparation for SEMA Show

Blood Type Racing (BTR) has teamed up with Hyundai for a project which will have the "wow-effect" on anyone who sees it. The Chicago-based builder specializes in extracting extreme, street-friendly performance of the Korean vehicles. Precisely, BTR has specifically modified this Genesis for SEMA Show and it now features a host of engine upgrades, suspension changes, and exterior and interior modifications. BTR Genesis Coupe combines massive power with the true, adrenaline pumping experience of underground racing. The car will be revealed at the show 4th of November.

To go further into details, the coupe uses the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. However, BTR has customized it and now the unit includes new sleeves and larger displacement. There is also an addition of a high-boost Precision Turbo turbocharger, strengthened and fully balanced internal components, a custom intake, intercooler, full exhaust kit and nitrous injection.

With all of the aforementioned enhancements, the powerplant of the BTR Genesis Coupe can generate over 800 horsepower (588 kW) to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, BTR has also worked on Genesis' appearance. They have added a custom wide body kit designed for BTR. The kit includes 40mm-wider front and 60mm-wider rear fenders, front bumper lip spoiler, rear diffuser and a GT wing.

Inside, the tuning specialists promise that we are to see Tanabe OLED Revel gauges, Sabelt racing seats and harnesses. The steering wheel is also new and it is provided by Sabelt, while the roll cage – from Cusco.
