Press Release
Few enthusiasts will ever get the chance to drive the 300-horsepower Genesis Coupe on a racetrack, but thanks to Forza Motorsport® 3, racing game enthusiasts will be able to test their driving skills in the Genesis Coupe in the game via a free vehicle add-on pack to be released November 17.
“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, Marketing, 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.”
Developed by Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport 3 lets players live out their dreams behind the wheel of more than 400 of the most-beloved cars, including a roster of Hyundai favorites. The vehicles can be driven on more than 100 renowned real-world tracks and exotic road courses from around the globe. Further fueling the imaginations of its evergreen community of painters, tuners and photographers, Forza Motorsport 3 features improved customization tools and brand new ways to share creations with the world via Xbox LIVE.
To celebrate the flourishing Forza community, Hyundai will be gifting a free downloadable vehicle package on Xbox LIVE® on November 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.
Hyundai’s relationship with Microsoft developed out of a lust for high performance automobiles. The Microsoft team met with Hyundai staff at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas in November of 2008 to discuss possibilities around the upcoming 2010 Genesis Coupe, and consulted with Hyundai’s premier drift racer Rhys Millen to provide feedback.
“It is exciting to have your own car in a video game. I was very impressed with the realism of the game with things like hood pins and exhaust outlets showing up in precise detail,” says Millen, driver of the Red Bull Hyundai Genesis Coupe race car and founder of Rhys Millen Racing. “The Turn 10 game developers were very accurate in portraying the driving experience as well. For example, changing tires alters the handling of the car just like in the real world.”
Look for the free downloadable Hyundai vehicle package on Xbox LIVE Marketplace November 17!
