The Hyundai Genesis Concept uses an all-new, aluminum-block-and-heads 32-valve 4.6-liter V-8 producing “well over 300 hp” and “over 300 lb-ft” of torque mated to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission. Hyundai estimates the duo will propel the car to 60 mph from a stop in “well under six seconds,” although the company hints at larger displacement, forced-induction versions of the V-8 that would surely perform the 0-to-60 samba in even less time. (A blown Hyundai? From the factory? Seriously?) The Hyundai Genesis Concept rides on a five-link independent suspension at all four corners and offers drivers a choice of shock settings. One thing Hyundai’s already nailed, though, is the price, which the company promises will begin “well under $30,000” when the Hyundai Genesis hits the streets. Loaded models will likely slide in under $40K.
