New Twin-Turbo V6 Joins Genesis G80 Lineup

The all-new 2018 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport has made its North American debut at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show.

Sporting a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, the G80 3.3T Sport joins the existing Genesis lineup in the spring of 2017. The powerplant is paired with a sport-tuned version of the same eight-speed automatic transmission found on both the existing 3.8 and 5.0 models. In addition, the G80 3.3T Sport has an upgraded suspension system with continuous damping control to provide superior vehicle dynamics and ride compliance.

There’s also exclusive sport exterior enhancements, like Genesis signature copper-colored styling elements, as well as a bold, cross-hatch design dark chrome grille, sport rocker moldings and unique lower front and rear fascia designs that results in an aggressive sport appearance.

“The G80 3.3T Sport reflects our continual commitment to provide drivers with compelling vehicles that meet their individual needs,” said Erwin Raphael, general manager of Genesis in the U.S. “By extending the G80 model line-up beyond the 3.8 and 5.0-liter engines, the 3.3T Sport expands G80’s range of pure performance capability and competitiveness within the mid-luxury sedan segment.”
