Sporting some unique bodywork the 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been caught undergoing early testing.

The next-generation sports car appears to grow significantly in size with a longer rear section that has been tacked onto this test mule’s rear bumper. It also gives the appearance of a wider overall body.

As a result, we can expect the 2016 Hyundai Genesis coupe to offer additional trunk space while the extra length will also allow a longer roofline possibly giving the rear passengers more space. In that sense, it will be a true Genesis Coupe, moving upscale and offering more of the sedan’s luxury.

The spy photos also suggest that the next-generation Genesis coupe’s wheelbase will remain mostly unchanged, though do look for a Hyundai’s HTAC all-wheel drive system to be available. Also look for the first use of a V8 engine in a Genesis Coupe!
