Hyundai pits 2013 Genesis Coupe against... an archer?



In a surprise move, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has shaken up its segment by adding an arrow to its competitive set – that's right, as in "Bow and...". Trying to answer the question of whether the 348-horsepower two-door can go faster than a bow-powered arrow, the company put an archer and bulls-eye in one lane of a runway and a Genesis Coupe in the other.

We won't tell you which one wins. We will tell you that one of them gets a serious head start. And Hyundai will tell you that "This scene is 100% real. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film."

lol its all in good fun.

I like the side view of the run, but eh rolling start doesnt prove much. But nice lil vid overall and nice aim on the part of the archer. (Still hate the front end of the car tho -___- )

Very cool video. I like seeing car companies doing cool things like this. Even though proving your car moves faster than an arrow (From a rolling start) doesn't really mean much - it's just fun/creative advertising!
