Road Test: 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec

[Soh]

Watching this in 2019 because I’m looking to buy a 2013 5.0 R -Spec with 33, 000 miles on it to replace my old DD. It’s listed for only $19, 000 and still has 4 years and 77, 000 miles left on the original manufacturer warranty.... tempting

I own a 2013 in pearl white with the 333 hp v6. It has been an amazing car overall. I would highly recommend this car to anyone..

This thing was both a sleeper and a "stealth wealth" car back then, nice

[ravipeiris]

I'll be purchasing the 2011 Version in the next 2 weeks with low mileage. Can't wait.

Interestingly, Mercedes reliability is really low, and (from several reviews) the Genesis is very reliable.

This car has had my head turning, for the past year and always thought damn this is a really nice car. In my head I thought this car would cost around $70k, anyways I just found out through this video that it's a Hyundai and it cost less then $48k. I would definitely buy this car if I had the money .

the 5.0 eats Beamers for lunch, ..it's fun to launch past them at the green light, knowing their hapless owners paid twice the price for their tutonic rides

I have a 2012 5.0 rspec, i removed the intake flap and added a k&n air filter. The thing growls and it feels like it gained a extra 10 hp. I almost dont ever lose but cars like a ctsv and s63 amg pull on me once we hit around 80-90mph

[SteveHansen]

Id love to see that 5.0 V8 as an option in the Genesis Coupe :)

[JackKangaroo]

This fixation on ever increased horsepower is ridiculous.  I own a 2009 Genesis with the 4.6 liter V8.  The car is a rocket!  It's got 375 hp and can blow away almost anything on the road.  And remember, it's not a sport car, it's designed as a full sized luxury car.  It did not need a bigger engine and more power under the hood.  

[minhyukiii]

lexicon sound system, u never find it in any luxury cars, only rolls royce

[micahjared]

Got one. Full Exhaust. Air Box. Pure sleeper. Not bad for a luxury liner.

[kostasp]

This car is LOADED! Great price and value!

[MrTX]

Inside Line got 364 hp and 342 tq. which still demonstrates some efficiency..just needs a little sound to go with it.

[grisellimay]

okay i love this dude (i grew up watching motorweek every saturday on tv)
but am i the only one who laughed at 4:15 when he made the same hand gesture every 3 words ...?

[Touchgrassdork]

20 years later this guy still sounds the same lol

[RealtimeReviews]

This car is missing a 2 BIG things for a performance sedan. PADDLE SHIFTERS, ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION. That would make it PERFECT! Sonata turbo has paddle shifters, why not this?

[Jeremandre]

Hyundai just made a car that i acutally job

[lailanitaganap]

13.2 in a quarter and with gov off it can reach up to 186 mph the 2012-2014 Genesis R-spec 5.0? The fastest time quarter mile time bone stock is 13.1 so the 13.5 is not correct.

[redmitsu]

I want one !!!

Motorweek is one of the best shows on TV - period
