Just in case you�re still not certain the new Hyundai Genesis coupe is a real contender, Rhys Millen Racing has built this special drift car to convince you.

Sponsored by Red Bull and Hyundai, the Rhys Millen piloted Coupe is a serious piece of work and resembles the Genesis parked in your driveway in look and name only.

Far from stock, this is a race prepped car complete with a full cage, functional aerodynamic hardware and air jacks.

Under the hood is Hyundai�s 3.8 liter V6 only here it�s been stroked to 4-liters and has the benefit of of a turbo. The end result is 560 hp. Add a sequential transmission, quick change rear end and Toyo R1r Tires and this Genesis can shred rubber all day long.

To save weight, the body is full carbon fiber � in fact the only stock piece is the rear bumper.

Look for the Red Bull / Hyundai Genesis this summer as it competes in the 7 round Formula D series as well as the Pike�s Peak hillclimb time attack.
