The Hyundai Genesis GP500 Prada is a special model in collaboration with Prada. It features three Prada colors; Brown Moro, Blue Baltico, and Black Nero. Interior goes upscale but modest with its Prada-inspired interior.

The Hyundai Genesis GP500 Prada is armed with the flagship Tau 5.0L V8 GDi (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine (equipped on the Equus VI), which produces a majestic 430ps/6400rpm, and fuel economy of 9km/L. It is mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Up to 1,200 units to be sold in Korea (and rarely worldwide). Nope, HARI won't bring the Genesis Prada for now because the Tau V8 GDi engine can't handle the dirty gasoline of our country. orz

Don't expect request the Genesis Prada to Hancars!

Quick rewind - Genesis Coupe vs. Camaro at a Top Gear Philippines issue

Camaro vs. Genesis Coupe

I'm sure most of you read the full comparison between the 5th-generation Camaro and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe at a Top Gear Philippines issue last year.

In case you want to see it again, here:

In my understanding, despite the Camaro being more expensive than the Genesis Coupe, it packs more performance than the Genesis Coupe.

Final Impression: I personally believe that Forza Motorsport 3, on XBOX 360, is probably the world's first video game to feature the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (known in China as the Rohens Coupe), launched in South Korea since Autumn 2008. The Genesis Coupe is Hyundai's first FR sports coupe that made it the sole rival of the BMW 3-Series Coupe and the Infiniti G37 Coupe (Nissan Skyline Coupe V36). What I like about the Genesis Coupe is its FR layout and some quick response. The biggest downfall of the Genesis Coupe is that this Korean made FR sports coupe may going on a slow start. Handling seems to be decent on the Genesis Coupe.

In Forza 3, not only the normal Genesis Coupe offered here but also the HKS-tuned Genesis Coupe and the Rhys Millen Racing Genesis Coupe complete with matching Red Bull livery!

I saw a Genesis Coupe near Uwajimaya!

Earlier, I saw a black Genesis Coupe while exiting Kinokuniya Bookstore, which is near Uwajimaya.

What's a Korean FR sports car doing nearby a Japanese store? Let me think, this car wants to brag against its Japanese competitors, hah?

Pretty sleek rear view, huh? Also, it's a 2.0T variant of the Genesis Coupe!

What's in store for this?
