Hyundai Genesis Coupe Debuts in Forza Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360

Racing game enthusiasts will be able to test their driving skills in the Genesis Coupe in "Forza Motorsport 3," launched in the U.S. on Oct. 27, exclusively on Xbox 360. Developed by Turn 10 Studios, "Forza Motorsport 3 unites the racing game genre where players will live out their dreams behind the wheel of more than 400 of the most-beloved cars, including a roster of Hyundai favorites."

"Genesis Coupe's participation in 'Forza Motorsport 3' will raise Hyundai's awareness with driving enthusiasts and the very important youth segment," said Joel Ewanick, vice president of Marketing at Hyundai Motor America. "The mission for Genesis Coupe was to create a pure performance car and for it to appear in such a realistic racing simulator is awesome."

The vehicles can be driven on over 100 renowned real-world tracks and exotic road courses from around the globe. Breathtaking HD graphics and advanced vehicle performance modelling make "Forza Motorsport 3" arguably the most realistic racing game in the market today. To celebrate the flourishing "Forza" community, Hyundai will be gifting a free downloadable vehicle package on Xbox LIVE on Nov. 17, 2009. The package will include the Rhys Millen Racing Red Bull Hyundai Genesis Coupe, HKS Genesis Coupe and a one-of-a-kind Genesis Coupe.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe will also boast its own race series within the Career mode of the game. Hyundai is also developing an online photo and video upload contest for "Forza" gamers who can show off their best in-game photo and video of the Genesis Coupe in action.
