The news just keeps dropping in on the revamped 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe after its first public appearance during the Korea Speed Festival 2011 in Yeongam, South Korea, this past weekend.
Today, we got our hands on a fresh batch of official photos plus the Korean domestic market [KDM] brochure that provides us with a few more details on the rear-wheel drive coupe's specifications, namely the acceleration figures and fuel economy numbers.
The flagship Genesis Coupe with the 350PS (345HP) 3.8-liter V6 engine completes the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 5.9 seconds while returning a combined fuel efficiency (in the Korean driving cycle) of 9.6km/lt (22.6mpg US or 10.4lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 227g/km.
The base version of the coupe that is now equipped with the Sonata Turbo's 275PS (271HP) 2.0-liter unit goes from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.2 seconds with a combined fuel economy of 11km/lt (25.9mpg US or 9.1lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 212g/km.
Both models are offered with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox and a new optional 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 2013 Genesis Coupe should reach North American showrooms in the first half of 2012.

Chevy premiered the 2012 Camaro ZL1 nearly a year ago, revealing all specs of its muscle car that will go on sale this spring with a base price of US$54,995. A real bargain considering that it packs 580-horses from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 allowing the Camaro to complete the nought to 60mph sprint in just 4.0 seconds en route to a top speed of 180

It's still too early to evaluate and form a final opinion on the public's reaction the styling changes made to America's most popular coupe, especially since few people have actually seen the car in person. However, from what we've read on a number of forums and sites including our own comments section, the initial reaction on the 2014 Camaro is lukewarm.

Besides the cosmetic modifications made to Camaro's front and rear end, and the addition of the 7.0-liter V8-powered, track-focused Z/28, the new model year shuffles up the range, adding some new features while discarding others.

Many of these changes are listed in an early dealer brochure discovered by a forum reader of Camaro5. In it, we read that the 2014 model will include four separate lines, beginning with the 323hp V6 base model, and continuing with the 426hp (manual) / 400hp (auto) SS V8, the 426hp V8 1LE, the 580hp V8 ZL1 and the new 500+hp Z/28.

GM will release pricing for the 2014 model in June and begin production of the car before the end of summer.

New additions to the options list include the available Blue Interior Accent Trim Package, Recaro performance front seats for the SS and ZL1, a color Head-Up Display and a color Driver Information Center for the interior, and three new shades for the exterior named Red Hot, Bright Yellow and Red Rock metallic.

On the other hand, the rear spoiler is no longer standard on all models, while Chevrolet is discontinuing the following items/packages for 2014: Victory Red, Rally Yellow and Inferno Orange Metallic shades, the Hot Wheels Special Edition with the Kinetic Blue hue, the Mojave interior trim package, and the Hockey stripe packages.

More details can be found in the brochure after the break.
