2009 RIDES Lux Motorwerks Hyundai Genesis Coupe
RIDES LUX MOTORWERKS HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE
The team at RIDES Magazine joined forces with LUX Design to take the curvaceous lines of the Genesis Coupe to the next level. Sarona Design created a custom body kit including a new front fascia, rear bumper, grille, sideskirts and vented fenders. The wheels, 20×8.5 and 20×9.5 in the rear Vossen Forged were painted matte black to match the roof and the bolts were painted GT3 RS orange to match the exterior. The vehicle’s wheels are wrapped in General Exclaim UXP tires. Stoptech brakes were installed in the front and rear and the vehicle was lowered on Apexi custom 1-off made suspension.
To improve upon the performance of the car’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a Turbonetics GT-K 350 ceramic ball bearing turbo was swapped onto the block, along with a Spearco front-mount intercooler to keep intake temps down. A full GReddy Racing Ti-C turbo-back exhaust helps to improve high and midrange performance. StopTech brakes sit on all four corners and an A’PEXi coilover kit not only lowers the Coupe to its aggressive stance, it stiffens up the handling for when you’re pushing the bends.
The interior was overhauled with the front seats being removed and 2 Cobra Misano Black Leather seats installed. The rear seat was then reupholstered in matching black leather. The door panels, headliner and dash received suede and matching paint. The interior has all memphis car audio upgrades fiberglassed into the panels, wrapped with black suede and highlighted with orange stitching. With a custom enclosure in the rear hatch, with 2 12″ Memphis Subwoofers.
