The 2012 Audi S5 quattro Coupe was also tested against the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, but Hyundai didn’t post the results. Our guess is that the Audi S5 smoked most, if not all of the competition. But the results by AMCI are impressive and you have to give serious consideration to what the South Korean automaker is doing.

Hyundai sent a card to their biggest Japanese rival Infiniti. The cars says, “Dear Infiniti G37, Our deepest sympathy...May you recover with renewed speed. Sincerely, Genesis Coupe.” The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe may have just started a battle with Infiniti. Stay tuned.
