In terms of possibilities, it's either that of the 5.0 liter Tau V8 (from the R-spec sedan)

That would be lovely too if it's offered in manual. I personally think they should do a TT 3.8 V6 make it AWD to be the poor man's GTR

I think the current one looks great from the sides and the back. However, I don't like the front. IMHO, this is what they should have done to the front:

Speaking of engines...

We already know that the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will make its debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January, but now, details about what's behind that newly sculpted, Veloster-inspired front fascia have finally surfaced.

According to Car and Driver, the four- and six-cylinder engines found under the coupe's newly designed hood are coming in for significant upgrades. The 3.8-liter Lambda V6 now uses direct-injection technology (just like in the updated 2012 Genesis sedan), but instead of matching the four-door's 333 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque, Hyundai has further massaged this engine to the tune of 345 hp and 295 lb-ft of twist. That means the Korean coupe will put down more horsepower than many of its American and Japanese six-cylinder rivals, specifically the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Nissan 370Z.

There's good news for turbo-four enthusiasts, as well. Hyundai's 2.0-liter inline-four receives a new twin-scroll turbo unit and an upgraded intercooler, meaning there's now 271 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque on tap. Both the four- and six-cylinder engines are now available with eight-speed automatic transmissions, but those who prefer to row their own gears will almost certainly still be able to opt for a six-speed manual gearbox with either engine. Check out Car and Driver for more details and sit tight for the 2013 Genesis Coupe's official debut at January's Detroit Auto Show.

That V6 sounds awesome...the power out of N/A V6s keeps getting better and better!

Nissan must be shaking their heads. The VQ engine in Nismo form puts out 350hp, but torque is no where near this number on the hyundai V6
