Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Genesis drift car to debut at Chicago Auto Show

Posted on by

After months of waiting and denials, Hyundai announced today that Rhys Millen would officially unveil his Red Bull-sponsored Hyundai Genesis drift car at the Chicago Auto show this weekend. Along with their press release were several photos, including 1 of Rhys drifting the car at what appears to be Willow Springs.  We can’t say that anyone was really surprised after his Super Bowl commercial, but the one thing to note in these photos is that Rhys is now on Toyo tires. With Tanner over on Hankook, it looks like he hooked his former roommate up with his old deal.

Rhys Millen to build Hyundai Genesis Coupe for SEMA

Posted on by

Released today through Modified Magazine, Rhys Millen and his RMR crew will be building a Genesis Coupe for the SEMA show, to be debuted in Hyundai’s booth. While the press release doesn’t state any intentions for campaigning the car in Formula D, the car will be ‘readied’ to compete in time attack, Formula D, or Pikes Peak competition. Remember, the Red Bull World Championships will be happening just a week after SEMA, could we see the new car in action at the event?

The 4-cylinder turbocharged car is slated to have Bridgestone tires, Sparco Seats, a 12-point cage, custom RMR-designed widebody, Brembo Brakes, KW Suspension, and an HKS Sequential transmission. Although this is the first official release about a Hyundai being built for SEMA, we sense that several other cars may be in the works.

We’ll be at both SEMA and the Red Bull World Championships, stay tuned for more details!
