Do one on the real "Volvo R cars".
Like the Galaxy 2 based 850 T5R or P80 R's or P2 R's.
Or maybe you could make one for the SAAB 93 Turbo X.

Should it be KDM? Korean domestic market 😂
8th to 10th gen Honda accord coupe with awesome wheels, not the Vossen CV3 I can't afford lol
2015 Genesis R-spec owner here. I've had mine since new, I daily it, drag raced it in it's stock form a few times and currently, it's at 84k miles. not a single problem out of the car.
Forgan Mreeman is your a manual? Heard these gens dont have good reliable manuals?
@@skynation5538 yea all r-specs only come in manual. but i haven't had any issues out of my car. and i'm not exactly nice with mine. idk what other owners are doing to theirs
@@Forgan_Mreeman facts
@@Forgan_Mreeman No, mine is r-spec auto 8. the middle east version. It's a 2013 (BK2) R-Spec auto 8, however due to the "middle east collection" the engine is the BK1's Multi Port. I know its confusing so write the name again:
2013 (Everything is BK2 except for the engine) 3.8 R-spec auto 8 Genesis coupe
these ones dont come with front bumper sensors and a few other things.
The BK1 MPi engine is much easier to modify and can EASILY get +100 gains wheel HP of course. the MPi engine stock does about 275whp. Injectors, Spark plugs with coils, Full bolt-on and alphaspeed tune, can get upto 370-390whp which is lovely, while the GDi cant.
@@Skyplays that's crazy never knew that. Just change the turbo on Bk1..
350 HP is more than enough for a lot of people
of course, 350hp in a manual or auto 8 coupe is so so much fun, with that great sound of NA V6
plus it's kinda light
It is. I have an azera with the same 3.8 l in it and that car gets it even tho its alot heavier than the genesis
IF a car was 3200 pounds and had 350 hp thats MORE THAN ENOUGH
Torin Dank didn’t know that I have the azera limited too it goes fast at high speeds like 60-100 , off a dead stop is aight but nothing crazy
I drive a 2015 3.8 Genesis Coupe (manual), great video, one thing i can tell anyone that is considering one of these things, you’ll get a bunch of looks. People think its some exotic shit and you’ll get a bunch of compliments.
Thank you for the support! You should upload your ride to our gallery sometime! www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
FACTS.. especially with changing the badges to the wings.. People lose all concept that its just a hyundai
Demon 1-2 hey so I’m looking to buy a 3.8 Ultimate that has the wings and is beautiful. My question is should it always be loud even if I’m just coasting? Feels like any pressure on the gas just revs the hell out the engine and it’s kinda of annoying compared to my normal Genesis that’s a nice quiet ride
Its the engine thats loud, or the exhaust?
I got one and call it my foreign whip lol
The genesis is such an under rated car tbh
couldn't have said it better myself my guy
Wouldn’t say it’s underrated, people just don’t know about them.
Agreed, it's such an awesome car, great platform from what I've heard, very hoonable according to the Genesis(es?)doing donuts in the parking lots at night
I'm 16 and just worked my way up to a 2011 genesis coupe, and boy I dont regret it
I don't care this was a year ago, you deserve a congrats man. I'm 17 I just saved up and bought a Tiburon for my first car
nice man
Congrats man! Can I ask what did you do to get your way up there?
@@Danny.yy16 just worked at a grocery store for around a year, nothin special
@@cai2727i’m 3 years late to this comment but i just bought a 2013 genny coupe, at 17. i’ve seen the Tiburon and it looks dope, you have nice car man
You can’t go wrong with the Genesis Coupe.
went wrong with mine, has a spun rod bearing after 10 months of owning
Jcbr600RR stop revving that bitch lmao
@@ethankearney8240 every car has its issues. I have 130k on my Gen. Its FBO and makes good power, I beat the shit out of it all the time and just do maintenance. The M6VR1 trans is kinda glitchy but that can be fixed with just a mount, better fluid and better shifter. The M6VR2 from mid 2013 and up is way better and when you do the mods said above it makes the trans shift like butter and can hold well over 600wtq with just a clutch upgrade. It's more about maintenance and how you drive the car which is the same for any platform.
I had one brand new & modded the hell out of it, transmission was trash even with upgraded bushings, Redline fluid change, better shifter, clutch, Flywheel & steel braid line.
I'm not trying to shit on the car, like I said I found it very attractive from power to price and I still do to a certain extent. I just wanted to get more info from other people. Working in a service dept I saw a 1.6 liter fiesta bust a giant hole in the oil pan by hitting something on a major highway and then driving 15 miles to my dealership and not blow up. We didnt even realize what the problem was until we got it into the air cuz on it's way there all the oil must've been shot out of it so it didnt leave a trail. I've seen the same car break down for way minor things. The community tho is where I wanted to do more research on various different experiences people have had with the vehicle.
My genesis is by far the best financial mistake I’ve made. Can’t go wrong with the car :)
Tf why u say dat?
Peter Benedetti I’m pretty sure that it’s because cars are seen as financial mistakes
this is the MOST relatable comment I have ever seen, feels good to know im not alone ♥
NahunVZNS I can relate bro🤦🏾♂️😂
What’s the best year and model to buy?
As a 2014(BK2) 3.8 Ultimate (Track version) owner, I can definitely say that these are fun and great looking cars. Here's some tips if you're looking into one.
The 3.8 is faster from factory sure, but the 2.0T is much easier and cheaper to make faster than the 3.8. The 3.8 can definitely make a good 20-40hp gains while staying N/A with full boltons and a proper tune, but to even get close to 400 wheel you'll have to boost it. However both engines can only handle 500bhp on stock block, so beware. Also, tuning companies are very rare, we're down to 2 since BTR stopped tuning gens. One is SFR in PA, and the other is Alphaspeed which does remote tuning. I currently have the Alphaspeed tune with a few boltons.
Also, when you buy your genesis, I recommend buying any of the track models, not only do they come with Brembo brakes from factory, but they also come with an LSD. I know many people who buy the base model say they will get those later on, but very few actually do. Plus if you buy it from factory then your differential is under warranty.
Overall I definitely recommend the car to anyone looking for one. Its fun, fast, I've gapped quite a few VQ's, and with the right exhaust the 3.8 sounds beautiful.
Miles Hill “fear no Z” 👌🏽
Except nismo knights, those kids are toxic. They think they can gap anybody.
There's also BeyondRedline tunes.
Wait... BTR stopped tuning gens? Shit...
Miles Hill it’s all good Alpha speed and 3point8Performance have everything you need and if you from southern Cali you have Khar Tuners
STi owner here, one of the best races ive had was with a 3.8R! Much respect
As a Hyundai technician and a Hyundai owner, this is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen
why is that
You have to change the Hyundai logo to genesis
L Tran if you afraid from haters .
@Pokemon4833 u said what many people are afraid to say... right there w ya brother its way better looking
Yeah and that way most people will the think the car is a cool Japanese import or somethin, average person won't know any better lol.
@Ed Findlay LOL it’s not American. Fuck Bentley Foreign only
you don't have to like me idgaf guy-_-
FINALLY! THANK YOU! ❤️👊🏻
Now, things you DIDN’T mention (not faulting y’all!)
-Transmission is unreliable (with 5th/6th gear grind)
-rear diff mount sucks ass
-3.8’s (the Bk2 GDi motor especially) CAN be boosted, but anything above ~7psi and you’re asking for trouble
-water leaks into the cabin and trunk through the tail lights and sometimes sunroofs on almost ALL of them
Even if you didn't come out with this before I bought one, I'm glad I did. It's a personality car. If it suits you (middle-ground car guy who doesn't feel like competing with other tuners) this is a beautiful car to ride. And if you feel like tuning well damn you can.
I agree. I bought the car simply because I loved how it looked. Sure its lackluster in hp and all, but it definitely turns heads. I'm not big on going for broke for mods, so having a nice sporty car is all I want. Plus, it's easy to make the genesis look sick.
Chamong Lee this is how I feel too
I bought my Genesis and I always look back on it.....
To see how nice it looks parked.
Was not expecting this video lol, love my gen wouldn't trade for anything else .

@@mattklieber4052 how's your build coming along bro?
@@bulkhak1 hell yeah!
I have a 3.8 Ultimate. Threw a K&N air intake in it as well as a new exhaust kit and it sounds amazing (and pops when you down shift or let off the gas). But when he said there’s not much you can do to it to add power unless you boost it, he’s 100% right. There are a few mods you can purchase on genracer or a bunch of other websites that carry gencoupe products but none of them will add much power. Also, beware before buying this car. Parts are not cheap if it breaks down. I’ve had to replace the control arms, ball joints, you name it, and all of it has left a nice dent in my pocket. Otherwise it is a great car and in my eyes it’s pretty underrated!
Yes! Gen coupe fam ✊🏼
Jay Mouawangyee ayyyy
Yessir!! GENNY GANG
We all know Alex showed those socks to subtle flex the NMDs 🙃🥺
Only just a little 😁
Facts!
s u b t l e f l e x
Basand extremely subtle lol straight black and white 😭not the Pharrell ones or anything
But those are Human Races.
I got one back in 2010. It was a good over all car. I kept it stock because I wanted to have a good daily. Once my daughter turned 16 it became her car. And I went up to something with some actual power. But over all it was a great car. No mechanical issues in over 150k miles.
Im surprised we haven't seen a brz/86/frs one yet, still waiting baby
same here man ❤️
Nobody wants one of those.
The Vibe you’re just mad no one wanted you as a child but your parents were too poor for an abortion so now you don’t have anything better to do than talk shit on a cheap pos car you can’t afford.

Cup Cakeo bro 86s are dirt cheap lmao u can afford one working minimum wage easily
proud owner of a 2016 Genesis coupe 3.8 ultimate manual I have 8000km's on it and there's just something about it that makes it so great. Good vid Alex :D
The fact that you said ADtR instead of A Day to Remember immediately raised your level of coolness. And you were already pretty cool.
Thank you for finally putting out something about the genesis. Proud owner of a 3.8 track!
2013 2.0 T here.
Same here 13 Track owner
13 track also
Mine is an 11 3.8 track m/t
Also have a 13 ultimate auto that my wife drives. Track is modded the 13 is bone stock. Both are great cars.
Yo I just bought a 2011 track. Idk how to feel about itttt :o
I always looked at the Genesis Coupe as a grown man's sports car. Like he doesn't need all the crazy upgrades to enjoy the car or to have fun driving the car. Sure, he might throw some aftermarket wheels on it or upgrade the interior sound. But he's not looking to go overboard in customs cause he's quite satisfied with how it comes from the factory.
I always looked at it like a poor man's G37, perfect for Mexicans
I have the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 GT, 2012 was the only year they made a 2.0 GT model after that the only GT models are the 3.8.
I love my car, full bolt ons and a tune. She makes me happy. Some people don't see the attraction but I love my car and she goes fast for me.
The most you can do with these cars is being content with them. Like you said you can't do much to them with what they carry.
It really is a good bang for your buck car. Since I purchased my 2011 3.8 Track, there hasn’t been a moment where I wasn’t smiling...it pops and crackles so much. As far as mods go, that’s a different beast to tackle. So many things to do so little $$$. Coil overs and new wheels are next on my list!
I'm still in love with this car. Sure, it's not fast, but it's not slow either and I just can't get over how beautiful it looks. Nothing else in the price range and category could ever replace it for me.
It’s not fast? Are you comparing it to a $60k-$100k car? If yes, then of course it’s not fast. For price, YES!
The GC is sooooo underrated they are super easy to work on they dont have the stupid issues that the VQ engines have. I picked up a 2012 base model 2.0T 6mt with Rspec interior and bk2 wheels front mount ic on the lowww for 4k it wasn't perfect when i got her but now she is!!! already done coilovers and megan racing trans mount, ISR diff bushings and torque solutions shifter bushing kit. she drives great now next year the motor build starts!
Nice car! I'm trying to save some money to get a Genesis Coupe myself
The Genesis is SUCH a fun car. I picked up a Flood Salvage 2013 Genesis 2 .OT with 26k miles 4 years ago.... I got it for $11,500 TT&L and have not had ONE single issue in that time frame (with the exception of scraping the front bumper and human error things since it was lowered when I bought it. I have daily driven it and am about to hit 92,000 miles. -Once again, not a single issue.
At this point, "Venom" has paid for herself 20 times over so, I'm absolutely cool with getting into ECU flashes and upgraded inter coolers and all of that. If she finally breaks, well it was fun and I would honestly go find myself another one. I knew I was taking a risk on that F.S Title when I bought her so I made that purchase with the intention of keeping her until she doesn't run anymore.
This is the ONE car I've owned that I tell people that without a doubt if my 2013 2.OT was totaled today, TOMORROW I would go out and pick up another one in a different color LOL.
Not for everyone - That's okay! But personally, I love it.
Everyday usable and a low barrier to entry in aftermarket modification excitement
I agree love the car strong engine backfires like gunshots blow off valve loud as fuck good sounds fun to drive eye catcher..
Im actually looking to get one, any specific sites you recommend for getting them really good deals?
Do you still got your gen? -fellow gen owner
I just realized that your guys business is 10 minutes away from my place after looking at your website
I've owned both a 2010 2.0t and a 2013 2.0t. Bought both new. I daily drive a 2018 hellcat widebody challenger (ordered new, waited 8mos, traded in my 2013 gencoupe). I'd still buy my old car back if it had under 30k miles. The Genesis coupe was a special car. I had a KN airbox for turbo sound, carbon fiber and mesh vents to replace the fake hood vents, and Motegi MR126 wheels with nitto neogens to make it a scalpel on turns. I could of got an aftermarket downpipe and catback but honestly I was having too much fun with it before I was introduced to american muscle and the hemis. These days you can find them cheap and I really want my second car to be one of the second gen 2.0Ts
2013+ Genny 2.0T with just a few bolt ons and a tune i promise you for an entry level sports coupe you will not be disappointed the car as alot of torque and is super fun to drive and also has lovely turbo sounds. The 2012 and under Bk1 versions can be a little underwhelming but BK2 2.0T is bae. #GenSquad
which bolt ons?
Been a big fan of these after test driving one. Fairly fun car and decently attractive. Great platform you could go a variety of ways with.
Is it good? I'm planning to buy one
@@jazperruedas8114 if you’re still looking, i have one and i love it.
@@briwalker5392 I'm good, I found a better one
@@jazperruedas8114 i know im 5 months late but i bought a genesis 2.0t with a turbo making 18psi and a manual its really fun
Love ur videos, and even though i'm french the voice of alex is easy to understand keep going with the gd stuff ;)
got a good deal on a 3.8 grand touring last month. Didn't really go into the test drive with any expectations and I loved it. Super good entry level car.
Considering buying one this weeek basically already decided to drive few hundred miles to get it. A 2013 r spec That looks amazing at only 12k maybe less and has the custom looking rims and racing seats. Not familiar with all the variants of models. Seems upper end lol but I Cant believe it and all the comments here keep reinforcing the decision. What do you think? Also mileage only 67k like what.... Engine as clean as it was off the lot
I’m so happy I asked for this video and actually received it. 😭
Oh man, I got a bunch to say. Honestly a super good video. Covered good and bad points of the car equally, I've seen some gnarly builds like Bisimoto's and Rhys Millen's. Fun fact, the NA Veloster has more bolstered seats than the BK1 coupe
I've been driving a 2010 3.8 for 13 years to the day. Still love my car.
It's by no means perfect, but 306hp is still plenty of power to use as a daily and have some fun with when you want to.
Wow man, 13 years is pretty damn long. Any oil leak or engine oil eating happened in your car during these years? (2010, 3.8)
Got a 2015 3.8 here, spec d tail lights and double 7” touch screen display w/ carbon fiber dash kit, looks absolutely gorgeous inside and out. In 3-4 years don’t be surprised when the turbo kit drops to around 4K and it will be easily available to make 430-460 WHP in a less than 14k car. Not to mention with spec d tail lights, double touchscreen mod, ark performance bumper and side skirts, the car will be drop dead gorgeous as well.

Thank you for making this. Genesis coupe is my fav car and I can’t wait to buy mine
You won't be disappointed I just got into a 3.8 track 2013 and I love it so much
I just picked up my white 2015 3.8 Ultimate 3 weeks ago and I freaking love it, so i immediately clicked this video. It's completely stock and will likely be till the warranty expires next year, when ill likely get an intake and tune for just a bit more hp/tq. The car sounds great stock so Im not totally driven to get a catback atm. I got it after my 2006 G6 GTP for 10 years blew its second tranny (rip). I got my first compliment on it from a stranger a few days ago, I was at a stop light in my home town Severna Park MD and this dude pulled up and was like "Nicee car man! It's beautiful."
My face: :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Cris I put an AEM intake on my 3.8 bk2. I found that AEM was the only company that had a you tube video with plus 10hp on the dyno. The intake comes with a dyno sheet.
I ended up doing the borla cat back and k&n intake, and custom sfr tune. Sound was an afterthought to me to power, but it sounds amazing. Love my car ❤
Ive loved these cars ever since they came out. These cars are so damn dope and underrated
Definitely a dope video, I might pick up my second Genesis soon🤔
Thank you for making this I’ve been wanting one
Peyton Chmielowski you won’t regret getting one!
Bought a 2010 2.0T at 130k miles. Aside from some maintenance work not a single serious issue with the car. Such a fun daily car and can be pretty quick with the right mods. Crazy how nobody really talks ab these they’re so underrated 😓

Have you gone under and looked at the brand of exhaust? Or seen if its just axle or cat back?
So you want a Mazdaspeed3?
Please do the speed 3!
Even better a speed 6. Everyone forgets about them but they're amazing. AWD , 6mt, turbo charger 4 banger so much fun and practical at the same time

I’m looking at one with 100,000 miles. Are these cars reliable and have you had any problems?
Nick Rajpaul they’re pretty reliable
Love my 2013 3.8. It does good burnouts, it goes fast, has good gas mileage and I got mine to go over 150mph in Mexico
We have three BK2 V6 GCs. They are one of the most reliable cars we have had and we have had about 150 cars. They are fun, reliable, fuel efficient, and fairly quick. Also important is that parts are cheap and the car is easy to work on (except for the starter which is a nightmare to get to but has never failed fortunately). There are some things you can do to fix issues: 1. Shifters. ATQ kit really helps. 2. Clutch. The factory clutch is strong and reliable but has no feel. We use Spec Clutch and it makes the car a lot more responsive and fun. 3. More tire. The factory tires are too small. The cars understeer a lot so a square set up really improves initial turn in and mid corner understeer. 4. Cooling. If you drive hard a bigger radiator will help keep temps down. It is a far better built car than cars costing twice as much and is one of the best bargains today.
I own one of these and this is the most accurate review of these cars I have ever seen.
Own a 2010 genesis sedan v8, and I love it, gaps and outperforms a lot of cars out there
I discovered the Genesis 2-3 months ago (there aren't many of them in France) I fell in love with this car in the V6 version.

We are building one right now and we love it! Just did a full wrap and soon to be lowering it!
I no longer have it, but I loved my 2.0t. It was cheap to mod and I never once had an issue with the car. Fun car for the low budget I had back then.
I had a turbocharged 2015 Genesis 3.8. It was amazing. I think I had the burnout in one of the earlier videos in my page. Definitely an amazing car
I have a 2010 2.0T rspec and its a great car. Daily driven and it outruns most of my buddies in the mountains
If BK1 send your ECU to SFR will make you fast bro cause their limited from manufacturer and you will smoke your friends just as much
I have a 2013 grand touring stock and have gotten so many compliments and zero problems that I didn't cause myself. Looking to get rid of it soon but still a great first car that will always have my heart
I have my 2013 2.0T for about six months now, i love and already planning mods. I would definitely recommend a tune, I got mines from SFR and it became a different animal. Love it and also its my first car project
what is your fuel consuption for daily drive?
used to have one with minimal bolt ons and a tune and i pushed 340whp with a stock turbo. they're fun cars that not many ppl expect.
I have a 08 Tiburon 2.0 and a 15 genesis coupe 3.8 ult. I'm Hyundai-ed out! 😁
I have Tiburon 08 gt 200k miles surprisingly only wear and tear and 2014 Genesis 3.8 I can wholeheartedly endorse them instead of any American made one... I had a Pontiac gto always breaking down. Never a Chevy again
i just bought a grand touring today and i absolutely love it 💚
I have a 2015 Genesis Coupe 3.8 with a 6 speed manual. Getting more power out of it isn’t necessarily difficult, but you have to pay to play. The car has 52k miles on it right now, and I have had no significant issues with the car. All the issues I’ve run across come from mods I’ve installed on it. It’s a fun car, and 350 hp is plenty for a daily driver. The only thing that bugs me about it is the front end. I much prefer the look of the earlier models front ends, but that comes down to a matter of personal preference. It’s a solid car, and I’ve enjoyed owning it since I bought it. I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a fun daily that has the potential to break some necks. If you don’t rice it out, these cars can look spectacular.
Ok. I think the beat used is too damn good
I’m not the only one right?
If you have money for upgrades get a Genesis, it’s fun asf to drive and it’s pretty sporty, I own a bk1 3.8 T and damn it’s fun
How reliable is the engine?
I have a bk1, it’s definitely fun!! And Alex is right first I had civic, now a Genesis, then idk what’s next. Dope vid though!!
Went to the dealership and bought myself a Genesis 3.8 Ultimate. Put about 6k miles on it since January!! Great driver, love the car. Love torching V8’s💸💸
Nice vid, trying to find a good genisis v6 for a while now for daily drive so my tiburon gt can get some good performance upgrades 😁
Gotta remember around 2013 the 2.0t had a nice raise in HP. Maybe like 270? A $500 tune could get you to hit the mid 300 hp range without a problem. A nice option since the 3.8 seems to be more expensive
Yeah the turbo option on the 2.0 essentially gets the headstart over the 3.8 where as with the V6 you have to spend a whole lot more to squeeze serious numbers out of it.
@@FatalFist yeah but they like to blow up just like the rest of hyundais 4cyl
@@zeppkfw If you're stupid, anything will do that - yeah
Just got my 2012 Genesis Coupe recently as a first car and I'm already having fun driving it around
Thats awesome! What are your plans for it?! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries gonne get some wheels and tires for it since the car is low enough for now. Currently figuring out the proper offset and such I wanna go for then I'm gonna buy em after I save up the cash.
I’ve had mine since new in 2011 and I love it

Omggg i recommended this and it came true😮
Love my 2011 Genesis coupe grand touring :) it's a 3.8 v6, and it's just great for my first car
I have a 2015 3.8 R-Spec and I love it
I've been wanting you to make this video for so long now!!! #Gennygang
I’m actually currently looking into one of these😂
I love my 2015 rspec. Exhaust, intake, tune making around 425hp. It's a blast to drive.
man, these videos and this type of comment section just make me love cars even more
