Genesis Coupe will begin arriving at Hyundai dealerships later in the month.

"From our 30-mpg 2.0T with its low-pressure, intercooled, four-cylinder turbo, to the 3.8-liter Track model with 306 horsepower and Brembo(R) braking system, Genesis Coupe offers a wide range of powertrain and performance choices for driving enthusiasts of all stripes."
