Default RKSport and Genesis Tau V8 Supercharged!!

IHI turbo worked with RKSports to build this supercharged V8 Genesis Sedan show car. When talking with RKSport CEO/President Bob Smith the car made a reported 460+ HP on a relatively untuned car. The numbers are actually on the conservative side and bigger numbers will be capable once Hyundai takes the car back and does a some ECU tuning. In talking with Bob they think this V8 will easily break the 500HP mark. AMG Killer? I think so! They are also in the works for making lots of aftermarket parts for these cars.

Yes it's a pretty awesome car, very well done. They actually wanted to make the engine bay more showy but ran out of time. They will still do it later at some point. Another key feature I forgot to mention about the RKSport Genesis Sedan. It has cylinder deactivation which allows it to still achieve around 26 MPG. Talk about the best of both worlds right?
