Sport-Tuned Suspension
Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec employs a
MacPherson strut dual-link front suspension and a five-link independent rear
suspension setup. The front suspension is mounted to the body via a solid
subframe which is lighter and stronger than a multi-piece component would be. To
help reduce body roll and tune the Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec's at-the-limit
handling for maximum predictability, 24-mm diameter front and 19-mm diameter
rear stabilizer bars are used.
While all Genesis Coupe models offer a
sporty and involving driving experience, the high-performance Genesis Coupe 3.8
R-Spec model is the most willing partner for the true enthusiast. The
track-tuned suspension features a stiffer front spring rate, stiffer rear spring
rate and unique shock valving. The Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec model delivers a
substantial increase in roll control over standard versions of the Genesis
Coupe. Superb structural rigidity sets the foundation for precisely-tuned
handling performance in all Genesis Coupes.
Braking System
Brembo four-piston calipers clamp down on 13.4-inch ventilated front brake
rotors and 13-inch ventilated rear rotors on the R-Spec model. All other models
get substantial 12.6-inch front ventilated rotors and 12.4-inch rotors in the
rear with floating single-piston calipers.
Safety
In
keeping with Hyundai's focus on offering segment-leading standard safety
technologies across its lineup, the 2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec includes a
wide range of both active and passive safety features. Standard safety
technologies include driver and front passenger advanced frontal airbags, along
with front seat-mounted side airbags, side air curtains and active front head
restraints.
All Genesis Coupe models feature standard four-channel ABS
with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake performance
under various dynamic loading conditions. The system also includes Brake Assist,
which provides maximum ABS-level braking force when a panic stop is detected.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), one of the industry's most effective
life-saving technologies, is standard in all Genesis Coupe models.
