The attractive body lines, rear-wheel drivetrain and performance potential of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe were all it took to get Justin Nishimura hooked on the idea. According to Nishimura, it was a platform that not many people had chosen to go absolutely crazy with, and going crazy with it is exactly what he had in mind. With the help of some friends, sponsors and his own vision, the result is a high-powered and wild looking iteration of Hyundai's popular sporty platform.
