2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Sedan Performance - 0 to 60

i would agree but there are a few downhills, the actual time for the car is low 6's just like the new 2012 sonata turbo

@titogcubangonzalez Sorry man, but the 2012 Genesis is a bit faster from 0 - 60 than the 2012 Sonata Turbo. Sub six second run can be accomplished frequently with a Genesis. I haven't seen Sonata Turbo yet break the 6 second barrier. As far as the downhills are concerned, we also ran the car the opposite way as well (Uphill) and results were nearly the same. Three uphill runs were 5.89, 5.99, and 6.17. Proper launch and adequate traction are vital to achieve best possible times.

@JBhof1 I would assume it is a 6 flat for your that 3.8 genesis sedan cuz it is always a pain to get a perfect take off, but oh well i guess you have evidence haha, nice car!!! and sonata turbo's are about the same as this genesis , maybe slightly slowerr but it is about the same based on performance

Thanks for the video. Shows real world driving 0-60 is probably 5.9 sec. which for a large 6 cyl sedan is excellent.

Great car indeed considering the fuel mileage is also outstanding.

We have plans for buying one next year.

@wtiwti Thanks for watching and commenting. I wanted to try to show just how quick this large car really is. What can't be shown though the video is how smooth the car is when accelerating. It's a really great car. The improvements Hyundai made for 2012 really have paid off. This years car's suspension is more dialed in than the 2011 model and the steering tweaks and new transmission make it even better. For the money, nothing else out there compares.

@JBhof1 Thanks. Test drove the same model last week. Great car. Buying one next week. The 8-speed transmission is very smooth, and the car continues to speed up quickly past 60. Smooth.
