If you've been following us here at Straightline, you'll already know about the V8-powered, mid-engine Hyundai Genesis Coupe that Rhys Millen Racing is building for the SEMA show.
We've given you a pretty thorough walk-through of the technical aspects of the car in our initial post back from September. Then we gave you an progress report as the powertrain started coming together for real and various body pieces were finalized.
Now RMR has released this rendering what the finished show car should look like and added a few details, such as the output of the 4.6-liter Tau V8 donated from a Genesis sedan and modified to produce 500 horsepower. Further Hyundai and RMR say that the five-speed sequential transmission is geared to allow a top speed of 182 mph.
Look for photographs and more information on the car live from the SEMA show, which begins November 3.

That is the same exact photo that we photoshopped a while ago! I think Mark Takashi did a Straightline post about altering the Genesis coupe and used this photo.
I like my Audi-esque version better :)

The image looks photochopped imo.

photshop looks pretty rough - why so dark?
