TopGear.com.ph videographer shoots Genesis Coupe promo clip

Hyundai Genesis Coupe video

When Toyota Motor Philippines hired filmmaker Sid Maderazo to produce a video for the 86 sports coupe, Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. just had to hit back with a viral clip for its very own Genesis Coupe, the car many people are pitting against the compact Japanese sports car. That time of getting even has arrived.

Below is the new two-minute 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe video which you will be able to watch for the first time here on TopGear.com.ph. Like the 86 video, this one is filled with lots of drifting, tire-squealing and cool music. And who's the person responsible for this masterpiece?

Well, Hyundai hired our videographer Marco Paolo Subido to shoot and produce this Genesis Coupe promo clip. Check out the video and tell us through the comments box below whether you like this better than the Toyota 86 video or not. Enjoy!

      when you say "Legend" it should be an only-one car in the segment or to make my statement clear wala syang KAMUKHA but in the 86's case I don't find the word "Legend" in it, why? because of its BRZ carbon-copy. I can say that the old AE86 was more of a "Legend" than today's 86.

        How did you come up with such CONCLUSION or rather, an 'INCLUSION CRITERIA' which is legend, which is not? I think anyone can say its a legend, SUBJECTIVELY.

        I like the GC because in one click, it can kill the Eclipse.

        The concept is the Legend. Not the car.

    Funny how people compare GC to Toyota GT 86. GC is a grand tourer, that explains its hefty weight while 86 is pure performance, GC is designed for the straight line, for comfortable and sporty/luxurious ride while 86 is engineered to tackle the curves, it is more track-oriented compared to the GC, and its weight and short wheelbase is perfect for drifting, everything on the GT 86 is for performance nothing more nothing less while GC even with 2.0L engine targets luxury and sporty ride. It's like comparing apples to oranges. GC's competition are coupes that are not here in our country like Infinity G37 coupe, while for me the best competitor of the GT 86 is its sibling Subaru BRZ and Mazda Miata.

      Its also funny how people say that the 86 is about performance and track-oriented, while the GC is less "pure" but the GC 2.0T just thrashes the 86 on the track. :))

      • td21 8 months ago
         
        Totally agree with you on that. The 86 does not have enough torque to stay with the GC.

        I have a better IDEA! why not compare the GC-R to the Mustang BOSS Shelby and the Camarao ZL-1 since they are all in the same segment, rather than comparing the poor 86 to this :)

        Now, can you already foresee the winner? Rather.. WINNERS?

        It's because 86 is made to carry on the name of the AE86 and AE86 is not all about speed, it is for precision
        around the track. It is made to be agile yet precised in making turns on curves, it is like making surgery on track so your argument is invalid.

        The hell? You compare a NA engine having an output of 100hp /liter to a Turbo engine? You compare a car very much unlikely to be beaten by a small car? You compare a car "ENGINEERED" for fun to a car engineered to SELL? Itapat mo sa tamang kalaban yang GC. Face it with 370z BASE MODEL. Alam na ngang Miata kalaban ng 86 itatapat mo sa iba. Hello?

      It's also funny that people can say "able to thrash" only in the sense of SPEED.
      I haven't seen, or heard or even SUCH a travesty had occured that a proper blow by blow battle was enacted between the GC and 86. Photos and Videos or DIDN't HAPPEN. :)
      (My goodness, when will the people learn.)

        Yeah, for performance I'd go for the 86 but for day-to-day drive I'd go for GC, GT 86 is engineered for fun.

      So.. anyone care to have a good read?

      http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/comparison/mazda-mx-5-miata-vs-subaru-brz-vs-hyundai-genesis-coupe/the_results_page_5

      Funny how it wasn't even me who started comparing. I wonder who said " it is more track-oriented compared to the GC". :))

      BTW, a lot of sites are also comparing so..maybe you should flame them all?

      I'm not gonna continue arguing with keyboard warriors and some random fantards. At least, I'm still buying the 86, AND I know exactly what I'm getting for my money. Not like some delusional people here who think the 86 is "all that". The disappointment will surely come afterwards.


      "My goodness, when will the people learn?" :))

        Good sir, one website or two compared them doesn't mean it's a right comparison, I compared them so I can state its position as a car to know its segment. The point is they do not belong on the same segment. And I'm not a fantard, either of the two 86 or GC it's a good value for your money. Maybe the only reason why sites/bloggers compare these cars is because of their price range but again they're not on the same ground.
           
        • njb1216 8 months ago
           
          I totally agree if that is the case. No argument here. :)

          No offense, but we really can't say that these things can't be compared. I swear a lot of people, importantly prospective BUYERS, already do compare, and more will. Some unsolicited advice from me, don't fuss about these comparisons. They're gonna be there for a looooooooooong time. And as always, it all boils down to preference.

    I like both video. in all fairness, both have amazing videography and substance :)

    But the stunts in the 86 video send chill in my spine. :) The slalom was so er 'realistic', i feel like I am really watching it in front of me.

    Well, this is just me. :)

    i'm starting to have trouble in choosing between genesis and 86.. on paper, the genesis is far better.

    mas better yung sa 86...parang di naman prodrifter yung nagdadrive. in short parang nabored ako sa kakapanood nung pagdidrift ng GC.

    Just my thoughts about the video - I don't think anyone gives a rat's a** about the headlamps or daytime running lamps if you show a video with a car sliding round all over the place.

    Can we just stop comparing the 86 with the GC? Kahit anong mangyari, hindi mananalo sa bilis o specs o value yung 86. Yes, hindi kasing ganda ng GC headunit ng 86. Hindi kasing lakas ng makina ng GC ang 86, at hindi din kasing mura ng GC ang 86. Pero let's not forget, GC is not the correct rival for the 86. Kasi kung ilalabas na natin sa ordinaryong measurement, which has the better steering feel? Better pedal response? Better dynamics? Better seating position? Better driving feel? Better sensation? Better engineering? Which of the 2 can a driver drive to the limits? Is it the GC? Hell it's just possible. But with the 86, you just go all the way. Ang topic dito yung video hindi yung competition. The video is fine but the drifting is just too boring. Same stuff. Same execution.

    This machine looks so heavy while drifting that it makes drifting seems so difficult.

      It actually does look very heavy in the video..

    Lorem Ipsum: The video you gave regarding a Higher specd Genesis Coupe vs the lowest mustang variant, OBVIOUSLY, the G. Coupe would win.

    BUT, if the Higher end Mustang, in level with the G. Coupe, although would cost pretty much higher, (because you get an undeniably BETTER interior and package with the Mustang) the G. Coupe would not stand a chance.
