Every once in a while ', Hyundai built a machine, just to prove a point. It should be back in 28, was the Accent SE, so its cheaper and cheerful East could be turned into a show with a decent race car handling. This time, the Genesis R-Spec to show an attempt, not just the Japanese, South Korean competitors must pay attention - is that the Germans.
Hyundai Genesis R-Spec is a Genesis sedan with stiffer springs and dampers and a larger rear stabilizer bar, sport-to-point steering, unique 19 "wheels with Bridgestone Potenza performance option, and - most important - the 429 hp 5.0-liter V8 Hyundai's top-of-the-line Equus. Genesis models with R-Spec will also receive a new 8-speed automatic and a front and rear of some minor facelift.
So how does it work? The updated chassis conveys a sense of something stronger and ready for the standard Genesis. The shortened path to press Hyundai does not have many tight corners, so I will reserve my final decision about the treatment until I have the ability to run on About.com Top Secret Curvy Test Road had. But I was very happy with the race very impressed - strong but flexible, active, but not shocking.Hyundai Genesis R-Spec felt good in sweeper - pretty good, I think, to stop talking smack owners of BMW cars in Korea.
That said, I was a little 'disappointed by the engine. 429 horses should motivate a two-ton car with some serious authority, and on paper, the R-Spec 60 works in a quick 5.1 seconds, but the engine needs time to build steam - I prefer the neck-snap, Power Delivery smile inducing Infiniti M56 420 hp - or even the turbo Audi A6 3.0T. To be honest, I was more impressed with the Genesis model based on "3.8-liter direct-injection gasoline V6 receives for the year 2012 and the car moves in a manner inconsistent with his assessment sin ch 333 There ' is a 3.8 R-Spec model. (The 378 hp 4.6-liter V8 is unchanged for 2012.)
However, I was steamed with a strong sense of Genesis R-Spec, and a stylish decor, impressive and electronic circuits. The active cruise control (which is the speed of the car in the foreground) works very well and the Lane Departure Warning System, which is as alert notifications, one of the best I've ever seen.
And the price of R-Spec is pretty hard to beat: $ 47,350 (plus $ 1 for 400 tires longer updated), which is equipped for a Hyundai, but thousands cheaper than a comparable BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class cars Hyundai luxury to attract many former owner of Lexus, the restless, knowing that the R-Spec GS 460 Genesis undermines competitive sports for more than nine grandchildren could be. I do not think the Lexus is more pasta, but the Infiniti M56 - feel offers much more for the price of $ 59,995.
I think Hyundai has proven his point well with Hyundai Genesis R-Spec Genesis 5.0, which demonstrate that building a luxury car with a good chassis and an unbeatable price. I can go, maybe the Genesis R-Spec is not one-on-one with hard-core like the German Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5 - but not a hundred other power could not solve. Hyundai can not turn back the Germans, but they should at least know
