VIDEO: RMR Genesis Coupe runs, turns and poses for pictures

Click above for a high-res gallery of the RMR Genesis Coupe
Rhys Millen Racing's Hyundai Genesis Coupe enjoyed some time in the spotlight at SEMA, but it's hard to see the potential of the new coupe sitting stationary on the show stand. So RMR brought out the Genesis Coupe to take up space in their pit during the Red Bull Drifting World Championship and the crew at Streetfire.net captured some video of the Genesis running around, posing or pics. In the clip, the pilot of the coupe never put his boot down, but it still sounded mean with a deep gurgle and the Turbonetics turbocharger whirring at low rpms. In person, the build also came across as very well constructed with a lot of attention to detail. Regardless of the advertised build time, it was carefully pieced together by a knowledgeable bunch.
Be sure and check out the galleries below for the whole collection of RMR Genesis Coupe images and hit the jump to check out the video.

Hey! Consider this.. It caught your eye. Right? That's all they were trying to do. I'd never have one look like this - I don't need that much attention. :p

... and the point of this video is what? To see him drive around in second gear with the throttle half down?
I was expecting something ... more, I guess. Look at the pictures and save your self 2:40.
Other than that it's a nice car.

ok really? this video is the worst loss of time since i watched the video about the addicted blackberry girls!!! what the frack!!!??? we get to see a mustang gugliaro doing doughnuts and this "race car" goes around like a fracking carousel? autoblog didn't drive the car but you guy did game them place so stop it!!!. if cars are not being driven like they should don't post about it, that way less people will lose time watching this kind of stuff.

Yeah video was a waste of time. The guy driving barely exceeded 20mph. I like the coupe but i am no fan of all the "cladding" they put on it.
