(ED NOTE: Mucho many pics of the Hyundai Genesis are here for your invisible touch) We finally have the details and official pics of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis, the RWD luxury automobile that promises to challenge $60,000 luxury autos at half the price (no shock, it looks like the
Genesis we already showed you). The big news here is features. Fully loaded the Genesis sports the Tau 4.6 liter DOHC V8 good for 368 horsepower and 324 lb. ft of torque mated to a ZF 6-speed transmission good for a sub-6.0 second 0-60 mph time. Like the Lexus GS, there's a five-link independent suspension to keep all that newly found power pointed in the right direciton. The car will also feature a bevy of state-of-the-art navigational and audio equipment tied together with an 8-inch LCD display. Impressive, also, is the list of admitted competitors: Lexus GS, Infiniti M, BMW 5-series, Chrysler 300, Mercedes E series and Pontiac G8. Full details and press release below the jump.
