The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/genesis+sedan">Hyundai Genesis sedan</a> has <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/2012-hyundai-genesis-sedan-revealed/">just received an upgraded 3.8-liter V6</a> with 333 horsepower and 291 pound-feet, adding 43 more horses and 27 more pound-feet of torque to its accomplishments.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/genesis+coupe">Genesis Coupe</a>, on the other hand, is playing with 306 hp, and according to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai">Hyundai</a> spokesman Jim Trainor, that isn't going to change soon. When we asked if the Genesis Coupe would get the new V6, he said "you won't see any difference to the Genesis Coupe powertrain for a little while." Trainor wouldn't define what "a little while" meant, but he did say "you'll probably see a similar strategy to the Genesis sedan," suggesting that the Coupe will get a power bump when it gets facelifted, "probably next year."<br />
