  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Diesel Genesis spotted near the Nurburgring

This link doesn't show me anything related to a diesel Genesis.

The fact that they are testing such a vehicle doesn't surprise me, as this would be a prerequisite for entry into the European marketplace. I would love to see this option here, but I doubt it will happen.

At :08 seconds when the car is re-fueling, take a look at the fuel pumps. The Diesel fuel pump is missing and the others are in place, which means the pump is in the car. This is either a diesel Genesis or someone just ruined an engine.
 
Single exhaust out the back and engine clatter at start up also confirms diesel.
Only thing missing is a puff of black smoke and the aroma of diesel exhaust.

Recaro seats and roll cage are a nice touch :p
I'll get excited when someone spots a twin turbo 5.0 V-8

+1. I just hope it's still around when it's time for me to replace my G2 in ~5 years (doubtful, but I can still hope).

OK got it now. For some reason when I clicked on the link originally it showed the last split-second of the video and immediately jumped to the next clip. :confused:

Probably my non-uber linking abilities :-).

I had the same problem and had to shut off autoplay on YouTube.
 
After the VW diesel fiasco (VW cheated on emissions testing), diesels are probably not in Hyundai's future.
 
This car will never make it to the US
 
Am I the only one that hears the turbo?

No respectful diesel engine would reside in the engine bay of a contemporary vehicle without at least one Turbo blowing its mind :D
 
could be a turbo diesel......
