First Motors, the exclusive distributor of Hyundai in Bahrain, is thrilled with the arrival of a new member to its luxury line - the Genesis Coupe.

Hyundai's eagerly awaited performance car is available in 2-litre Turbo engine and 3.8-litre V6 Lambda.

Genesis Coupe promises to stop just as fast as it goes. Premium high performance disc brakes from Brembo will be available as part of an optional track-use performance package.

"By specifying Brembo brakes we are sending a strong message about the performance capabilities of the Genesis Coupe," said Dr Hyun-Soon Lee, president of the Corporate Research and Development Division. "Among car aficionados, Brembo's oversized caliper design is recognised as one of the hallmarks of a high performance car. They grab attention and will force to take another closer look at Genesis Coupe."

The base of Genesis Coupe will be equipped with a turbocharged 2-litre Theta engine pumping out an estimated 212 horsepower. For enthusiasts who demand pure unadulterated performance, Hyundai will offer a high performance-tuned 3.8-litre V6 Lambda delivering 300-plus hp.

The first Hyundai to be fitted with Brembo brakes, Genesis Coupe is stirring anticipation and excitement as its official launch date draws near.
