G80 Sport Roaming in Korea

[Chalumbus]

Hey guys, this is my first post here but I just wanted to post a picture of the G80 Sport that's floating around the web. Looks much better than I thought it would in black.

I suddenly hate my car and want to get a G80 sport. I love that honeycomb grill vs the horizontal slats.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! The @genesis_motors instagram page has quite a few G80 sport pictures as well if you guys want to check it out a bit more.

Looks like a new shift lever too:

Looks like a new shift lever too:

I don't think the interior picture is of the sport, but rather the regular G80. Genesis went to great lengths to hide the interior of the sport by locking the doors and tinting the windows pitch black. I don't think they would just let go of all their effort an instagram photo. Korean sites speculate that the interior changes will include D cut steering wheels and etc.

Maybe - but still a new shift lever...

Looks like a few minor changes, chrome trim around the clock and gloss rather than matte wood trim.

Looks good, will be interested to see it in person.

Hyundai really hit it out of the park with the second generation Genesis and these new Genesis Motors cars. The design is outstanding. The car even puts on a showing going in reverse with bright white LED reverse lights. It's such a head turner...

Agreed - what I like is they share the same lens with the Amber turn signals. Very cool.

They definitely spent time researching how to make the lighting work perfectly. NOT every brand gets this right...

i like the current shift knob.. they put this style in the new Kia and Sonata... This car is far more in a class of its own

is this really going to b 480hp? or 370?

i wonder if anyone is going to trade in the the current V8 for the twin turbo V6?

 

[celltech]

Forget the puny V6 and the shift knob...I want those blacked out wheels!!!

If you SC or turbo the V-8, we should be talking 550 to 600. lots of people are complaining about the CTS-Vs 640 and not being able to put it to the ground. (AWD version to come) so anything more in RWD would be a waste
