The engine is the 4.6L V8 from a Genesis sedan. About the only change to the engine will be new pistons that should up the compression to 10.9:1 or possibly 11:1. Edmunds guesses the engine will be putting out around 450 horsepower. Getting the power from the engine will be a Mendeola S5 sequential gearbox. As you can see from the photos a lot is being done to the body to accept a mid-engine placement. The car will have a rear hatch so someone can access the engine if needed. It will also have a large sneeze guard installed in the hatch so as to keep the SEMA fans from getting too close.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pictures.topspeed.com\/IMG\/crop\/200909\/v8-powered-rmr-hyund-3_800x0w.jpg?w=1200\" alt=\"mid-engine V8 genesis coupe\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/cars\/car-news\/v8-powered-rmr-hyundai-genesis-coupe-ar79317.html\">TopSpeed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhys Millen Racing is building a mid-engine RWD Hyundai Genesis coupe for SEMA 2009.
