Hyundai Genesis Coupe will make its official debut at the 2008 New York Motor Show on Friday. The coupe is a performance-focused model based on the platform of the Genesis luxury sedan, which was released in January. It boasts rear-wheel drive and a 300-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine outfitted with a 215-hp 20-litre turbocharger.

Korea's largest automaker plans to ship the coupe to overseas markets including the U.S. from early next year. Hyundai Genesis Coupe is based on the same rear-wheel-drive platform as the Genesis sedan. The car's center stack features a large LCD screen, while the gauge cluster has a futuristic, two-pod design. The Genesis Coupe will have a 2+2 setup, with cup holders separating the rear buckets.
