Hyundai comes to play

The recent craze in cars is sedans that double as performance vehicles. The big players include Nissan with their new Maxima, BMW with their 760 Li, and Mercedes-Benz with their AMG class just to name a few. Hyundai is not a name you would expect to see on this list of luxury/ performance cars, but rather on a list of cars with great fuel economy. The addition of the Hyundai Genesis shook this up a little bit. Hyundai is known for producing cheaper, efficient cars, but nothing really luxurious or fast. The Genesis is both of these things packed into a surprising deviation from Hyundai’s boring past… It combines luxury features like leather and navigation with a beastly 368 horsepower V8 engine that gets the driver to 60mph in less than 6 seconds. The top package starts under $40,000 making it one of the least expensive luxury/ performance options available. Notice the lack of a Hyundai emblem on the front of the grill... If you didn't know, would you really think this is a Hyundai?

Just to give you an idea of exactly how fast this car is, this is a video of the Genesis racing a BMW 750i.
