" It doesn&amp;#039;t take a vivid imagination to think of all the reasons why Rhys Millen has left GM for Hyundai. Since 2004, the racer/drifter has been on numerous Formula Drift podiums driving a Pontiac GTO or Solstice. He&amp;#039;s been the guy behind the wheel in a few well-known movies such as Dukes of Hazzard. And now he&amp;#039;s set to drift a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, much like the car we saw at SEMA last year.   Did you see the Genesis Coupe commercial shown during the Superbowl? That was Rhys.   The Rhys Millen Racing Red Bull Drift Team has built a fully prepped coupe for racing and drifting; it&amp;#039;s far from stock. The work has been done in RMR&amp;#039;s shop in Fountain Valley, California \u2014 only a few minutes from our Newport Beach offices. The chassis was stripped, its seams welded, a cage installed, an HKS sequential gearbox mounted and the fenders and hood replaced with lightweight carbon parts. The result is a 2400-lb. car that should do quite well on the drift circuit, as it has a front-engine/rear-drive layout.   The Hyundai Lambda V-6 engine has been stroked from 3.8 to 4.1 liters and a Turbonetics turbocharger pushes the output to nearly 550-bhp with 520 lb.-ft. of torque. That&amp;#039;s plenty to light up the rear 265/40-18 Toyo Proxes R1R tires and then set them ablaze for fans.   Yes, a lot more was done than was listed, but you get the picture. It&amp;#039;s a real race car. We won&amp;#039;t disclose all his preparation secrets, but expect some of the go-fast parts to be available through RMR shortly.
