Want to see something more ridiculous? Nissan GT-R in Japan limited to 180 km/h. Lexus LFA also had same case. All the sport cars besides Porsche and American cars are limited to 180 km/h in Japan. But some fast saloon like Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW, Audi are using 250 km/h limit instead 180 km/h.

@Shaggy yep a 114 mph governor on current 300 plus hp V6 Mustangs is ridiculous, but true. Car and Driver repeatedly hit the governor while doing laps at VIR. I have exceeded 114 mph in every car I have owned since 1990 (many times in each car I have to admit). I guess that is why I should be driving a Lamborghini. LOL :)

@ Viking: The V6 Mustang's top speed is restricted to 114 MPH?, I got to that speed in my Dakota once. It's pitiful. If I were the CEO of a car company it would be as old school as possible, no hybrids, no electrics, no dual clutch transmissions, only manual in the performance cars, and definitely no limiters.
Viking 11y ago
@Shaggy I agree, it is a shame that car manufacturers frequently put speed governors on their high performance cars. The current V6 Mustangs are even worse, I am sure that drivers are always hitting the 114 mph governor nearly every day. Totally ridiculous! Modern tires on these cars can handle the speed, so what's their problem?
Viking 11y ago
Unfortunately they have it governed to only 151 mph: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-hyundai-genesis-coupe-38-r-spec-test-review

This car need to be tested more. It have great potential.
Its propably the best fun and performance RWD car on the road for its price. It also have 5 years unlimited warranty. So for sure its the most safe to buy when someone want to drive hard.
It isnt perfect, but what it offers for it price. Bargin entry level spors car. I would pick it instead of overhyped GT86/BRZ anyday.

So a lot of power and torque, and RWD... But so slow? I would expect the acceleration data and laptimes to be on par with 370Z... Bad test? Or is it slow because it is a Hyundai?...
However, the exterior is kind of appealing, to be honest, not bad, as for Hyundai. And the price too.
Fsjoku 12y ago
Actually 0-60 is 5.0 sec
Not 5.2 sec because I've seen it in YouTube there were testing the genesis with mustang v6 the genesis is 0.1 faster then the mustang
Viking 13y ago
I will have to see it in person before passing judgement on its new styling. Nice power increase though. I will look forward to it being tested at Virginia International Raceway by Car and Driver. With the new power it should be able to match or beat the V6 Mustang and the 370Z. I am not so sure about the new styling. Maybe it just doesn't photograph well.

Agree with u Jeff, i don't know what was Hyundai thinking with this facelift
