Hyundai unveiled the first details on its third concept car prepared for the 2013 SEMA show. Along with the Veloster Night Racer Concept prepared by EGR Group and a Genesis Coupe developed in cooperation by Bisimoto Engineering, Hyundai will also unveil a new Genesis Coupe Legato Concept with help from ARK Performance.
The new concept was named after the Italian term "Legato" that means "tied together," an indication of the three things to be offered in the new Genesis: design, performance and interior ambiance. For the exterior, the Hyundai prepared a very aggressive kit that includes new front and rear bumpers, new side skirts and a deck lid. The concept is painted in a sharp racing silver exterior paint.
For the interior, the new Legato adds Takata Drift Pro LE seats, AiM Sports Strada GT steering wheel and a digital gauge cluster.
Most of the work, however, took place under the hood. This is where ARK boosted the 3.8-liter, V-6 engine to 4.0-liters, thanks to Brian Crower 4.0 Stroker Kit that includes new JE pistons, a 4340 crankshaft, connecting rods and an ARK oil cooler. Following that, Ark then installed an in-house intake kit and a lightweight pulley system.
As a result of this high-end tuning, Ark took the engine from its standard 348 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and pushed it to a total of 400 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque. Though Hyundai didn’t reveal any performance number, we estimate this Genesis to hit 60 mph in about 4.8 seconds — down from the stock low-five-second range.
In order to handle the extra power, the new Genesis Coupe Legato sits on Rays Engineering G25 wheels wrapped in Nitto NT05 tires and combined with an ARK DT-P coil-over suspension system.
Full details on the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe Legato Concept by ARK Performance will be unveiled during its official debut at 2013 SEMA show on November 5th.
