It’s not like you think. It’s not busy. Or rushed. Or frantic. There’s no chopping at the wheel, no exaggerated stabs at the pedals. In fact, it’s just the opposite: small, highly calculated and immensely precise inputs direct the Genesis Coupe’s trajectory. Rapid but relaxed steering suggestions translate into dramatic changes in direction and speed. Subtle, deliberate prods at the throttle and shifter blur the scenery on one side, then the other.
This is cool control. This is engineered elegance. This is drifting done right. This is what it’s like to ride in the world’s most advanced drift car: Rhys Millen’s 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
