Hyundai, ones the butt of many an automotive joke has been doing some serious work on its products lately. In fact just recently it found its performance voice with the rear wheel drive Genesis coupe. Now it wants to race MINI. Since Porsche isn’t game, apparently Hyundai can be (come July for some reason). [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaiB_sHv7Ac[/ame] More...
Be interesting to see if MINI responds now. I think they might have accepted if Hyundai would do it the same day. With wanting to do it later, MINI can't just reschedule all the stuff they have planned already.
From Lightning Lap at VIR..... 2007 Mini Cooper S > 3:22.9 2009 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works > 3:17.1 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 > 3:14.8 So, Q is how well the turbo 4 Genesis Coupe will do (keep in mind the 3.8 was an auto transmission car too)
