Hyundai RWD Coupe Powered by a V8 below $30k!

In recent years, Korea has made a lot of headway in all sorts of industries. Samsung is on a perpetual quest to create the world's slimmest cell phone and LG has kept things sexy with the Chocolate and Shine. A similar trend has been occuring in the automotive world: Hyundai and Kia have been growing very quickly these past few years, and if this rumor holds up, they're surely make some crazy waves in the industry.

According to Winding Road, Hyundai is reportedly working on a rear-wheel-drive coupe based on the same BH platform as the Genesis sedan concept. And it'll be powered by a super beefy V8 (Tau), good for over 300 horsepower. There may also be a 3.8L V6 version, but both cars will likely come with a manu-matic transmission, rather than a true manual.
It's unclear whether Hyundai plans on keeping the price down (the V6 Genesis will be priced below $30k) to compete against the Ford Mustang, or whether they'll move it upscale to compete against the upcoming Infiniti G37.
On a side note, the BH platform will also underly a long-wheelbase Genesis Plus and a similarly-styled Kia.
