When Hyundai launched the Genesis coupe in 2009, we were told that it would not be a direct replacement for the outgoing Tiburon. That would be the role of the Veloster concept from 2007. We've been seeing spy shots of Veloster prototypes for several months now and if the latest reports are to be believed, it could appear in production form at the Paris Motor Show in September.

The compact front-wheel drive coupe is expected to be powered by a 1.6-liter direct injected inline-four with at least 140 horsepower. However, if the rumors are accurate, the Veloster could be available in an optional 200-hp turbocharged version. The turbo may even get a dual clutch gearbox, a first for Hyundai. Europeans are expected to get first crack at the Veloster early in 2011 while Americans will have to wait until next summer.

I thought dual clutches were a good thing? VW's have them.

Dual clutch is on Ferrari, Lambo, Mercedes, Zonda. Yuk is not the correct word here

**snoopy0812** · 06-08-2010 08:58 PM

first production car to have a dual clutch was a 2005 VW Golf R32

there is nothing wrong with them, i just dont want it! i like rowing through the gears. i dont care how much faster it is...i'll take the .5 of a second slower if it means I get to choose what gear i'm in and when its going to be in that gear.

Looking forward to the Paris Motor Show where hopefully more information about this new model will be available

i really hope they dont ruin it with a dual clutch tranny. they already killed the turbo'd sonata with an automatic

yup nothing like 15% drivetrain losses and Hyundai's SuperNanny ESC program... that'll get the blood pumping..
