Luxury + Power = Hyundai?

2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec

I never expected Hyundai to roll out something like this for the Chicago Auto Show. What you're looking at here is an R-Spec version of their award-winning Genesis luxury car. The regular 4.6 V8 model had 385 horsepower. This one has a staggering 429 horsepower out of its all new 5.0-liter V8 engine. The regular 4.6 got from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds, faster than V8 BMW 5-series. This one will do it in 4.5 seconds, about as fast as an M5! And the best part about this car: the price! The regular 4.6 starts at $43,000. This one's price tag will hit just above the $50,000 mark. Now, that does sound like a lot, but look at it this way; if you compare that price to an $87,000 M5, what you have is the bargain of the century!
