The Hyundai Genesis Coupe raced at the Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championship, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and select Redline Time Attack Series events in 2009 – thanks to a joint venture between Hyundai and racing champion Rhys Millen, who will drive the Red Bull-sponsored race car on those events. Millen's V8 engine is running with mostly stock internals and its original Hyundai's 5.0-liter displacement. In July 2009, Millen and the Genesis Coupe set a new record for two-wheel drive production-based cars at Pikes Peak. In June 2011, Rod Millen set a new record for 2WD Time Attack using the same Genesis Coupe with a time of 11:04.912.
