Hyundai Genesis Type R

While a lot of automakers these days have been struggling and scrambling to get their footing back in the industry, Hyundai has been one of the few bright exceptions. Continuing on its rapid ascent to the top of the industry, Hyundai’s momentum doesn’t appear to be slowing down - and probably won’t anytime soon.Powering the Genesis R-Spec model is a 5.0-liter Tau V8 engine that produces 429 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 376 lb/ft of torque at 5,000 RPM and mated to the company’s in-house eight-speed automatic transmission. This particular engine represents the most powerful Hyundai engine in the company’s history and has been named as one of the Ward’s Ten Best Engines for the third successive year.
