Genesis is showing off the 2018 G80 Sport at the
ongoing Detroit Auto Show and has added some spice to its stand by bringing in
a bright red example.
The new Genesis G80 Sport is the most dynamic model
to wear the Genesis badge and adopts a thoroughly revised exterior to denote
its performance-oriented prowess. This includes new front and rear bumpers,
distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels and four oval-shaped tailpipes.
Beneath the skin, the G80 Sport receives its punch
from a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter direct-injected V6 engine delivering 365 hp
and 376 lb-ft of torque. This power is channeled through an eight-speed
automatic transmission and can be paired with an optional all-wheel drive
system to maintain grip in the toughest of conditions.
As with all other Genesis models, this one
incorporates a selection of safety features including a multi-view camera,
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Driver Attention
Alert.
