The folks at Blood Type Racing may not have heard the news about the discontinuation of the 2.0T Genesis Coupe, as they’ve taken the turbo-four and tuned it up to 800 horsepower.

While the company is known more for ECU tunes, at SEMA they pulled no punches and brought this crazy powerful Genesis. The folks at Blood Type Racing bored out the engine then added a high-boost precision turbocharger, heavily revised internal engine components, a custom intake, intercooler, exhaust and nitrous system.

Nothing has been left untouched, the car features an upgraded clutch, flywheel and axles. It sits on coilovers, 19-inch WORK wheels and takes advantage of upgraded brakes. Inside, the rear seats are swapped out for a roll-cage, race buckets and safety harnesses.
