New for 2012, the Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec sport luxury sedan delivers optimal performance and handling, along with a distinctive cabin and unique exterior colors and styling. Power for the R-Spec comes from a new 5.0-liter V8 powerplant, which pumps out 429 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. It mates to a new 8-speed automatic, which includes a Shiftronic manual-shift mode. The EPA estimates fuel economy numbers of 16 mpg city/25 highway for the V8. The R-Spec rides on a sport-tuned suspension and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. It also receives unique HID headlights with dark chrome inserts. In addition, like all Genesis trims, the R-Spec gets a new grille, a large air intake opening, upgraded side window surrounds with a brushed aluminum finish and an updated rear bumper with dual chrome exhaust tips and redesigned taillights. Daytime running lights, foglights and power-folding side mirrors with puddle lamp functions are also included. Hyundai offers the R-Spec in Black Noir, Titanium Gray and Platinum Metallic exterior colors.
Inside, the automaker equips the R-Spec with black premium leather upholstery, a black leather-wrapped dash and an all-black leather steering wheel, which distinguish it from the other Genesis trims. Other upscale features include heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a power tilt/telescopic steering column. The driver's seat features 8-way power adjustment with power lumbar and memory settings, while the passenger seat gets 4-way power adjustment. Tech features include a navigation system with XM NavTraffic, a rear-view camera and a 17-speaker, 528-watt Lexicon Surround Sound audio system with Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio and a 6-CD/DVD in-dash CD changer, all accessed through an 8-inch display and a multimedia controller. Dual-zone climate control, push-button start, remote keyless entry and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror are also included. Safety features include 8 airbags, electronic stability control, traction control and 4-wheel antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist.
