New Hyundai Genesis Coupe was revealed last spring and it is a perfect car for tuners. It is one of the few new affordable cars on the market to offer the fun of turbo, rear-wheel-drive and a manual transmission.

Now Hyundai is launching the R-Spec model, which they call the perfect blank canvas for tuners. Priced at $23,750 it will arrive at U.S. dealerships across the country in the near future.

The R-Spec allows enthusiasts to tune their own car to their desired specifications. It even comes without the rear-wing as Hyundai thinks most customers will put a body kit on it.

R-Spec equipment includes:
2.0-liter low-pressure turbocharged intercooled four-cylinder engine with dual continuously variable valve timing delivering 210 hp
6-speed close-ratio manual transmission
Electronic Stability Control with Traction control, ABS, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution and Brake Assist
