The Hyundai Genesis sedan has just received an upgraded 3.8-liter V6 with 333 horsepower and 291 pound-feet, adding 43 more horses and 27 more pound-feet of torque to its accomplishments.
The Genesis Coupe, on the other hand, is playing with 306 hp, and according to Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor, that isn't going to change soon. When we asked if the Genesis Coupe would get the new V6, he said "you won't see any difference to the Genesis Coupe powertrain for a little while." Trainor wouldn't define what "a little while" meant, but he did say "you'll probably see a similar strategy to the Genesis sedan," suggesting that the Coupe will get a power bump when it gets facelifted, "probably next year."

Aww well guys I guess that means we can keep our fingers crossed for a 2012 revamp but it may be even further down the line then that. Im hoping for an update to the coupe before march 2012 as that's when the lease on my coupe is up. I'd like to trade up to a 350hp plus gdi v6 for my next coupe
