Finally, we have the full lowdown on the Genesis Coupe and there's plenty to get excited by. Presented at the Korea Speed Festival on Saturday with preliminary details, we now have a host of official photos and the domestic market brochure that includes acceleration figures and fuel economy numbers. First off, the facelifted Genesis Coupe has the new 3.8-liter GDi, a V6 with direct-injection technology producing 345hp and 295lb-ft of torque. With an improvement of 43hp and 29lb-ft over the current V6, it now has considerably more power.

This translates to a 0-62mph sprint time of 5.9 seconds, a fuel economy of 22.6mpg, and CO2 emissions of 227g/km. Simply put, it's now a serious rival to the Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. The base model has also been updated with a 2.0-liter TCi featuring a larger radiator cooler and twin-scroll turbocharger; the result: 271hp and 275lb-ft of torque, a 0-62mph sprint time of 7.2 seconds, fuel economy of 25.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 212g/km. Both engines come with a standard 6-speed manual and an optional eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Veloster's new hexagonal grille, restyled headlights and LED positioning lamps, revised tail lamps with LEDs, and a brand-new center console with revamped a/c and audio systems are other noteworthy specs of the 2013MY Genesis Coupe, which is slated to reach North American showrooms in the first half of the new year.
