4.8 seconds must be a mistake. That engine sounds like it came right from the Sonata turbo, which also weighs about 3,400 lbs. I’m pretty sure the Sonata turbo is about 6.2 seconds to 60 mph. Even with a manual transmission and a strong launch, it makes no sense the Genesis Coupe would be 1.5 seconds faster to 60 mph. As already mentioned, 5.8 seconds to 60 mph is plausible.
