Genesis Sharpens the G80 for Los Angeles

[News Man]

We thought that the Genesis G80 for the U.S. was going to miss out on a new Sport model with a new 3.3L Biturbo V6. How wrong we were.

Genesis has revealed the 2018 G80 3.3T Sport at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. Providing a middle ground between the 3.8L V6 and 5.0L V8, the 3.3T produces 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. This is paired with a retuned eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver a sporting edge. The Sport will offer the choice of rear or all-wheel drive. Other mechanical changes for the Sport includes a continuous damping control system for the suspension to improve ride and handling characteristics, and larger rear brakes with ventilated discs.

The LA Auto Show is in December but it is nice to know they will be there.

Anyone know if they exhibited in LA last year?

The News Man post said "Genesis has revealed the 2018 G80 3.3T Sport at the Los Angeles Auto Show today" that has already occurred (I presume in December 2017). The car is now at dealers in the USA.

Almost all of "News Man" posts are news that is 6 months or more old.

The 2018 Genesis G80 Sport in on the Genesis Motors website (with specs) and in dealer showrooms now. In looking at the specs, it looks to me like the fog lights are not available on the G80 Sport.
