Spy photographers in North Korea has nabbed this Hyundai Genesis prototype which is apparently powered by Hyundai’s latest Lambda II V6 engine.
This particular prototype had a sticker on the windscreen that reveals the powertrain under the hood. That aside, this prototype also sports AWD and an 8-speed automatic transmission, possibly taken off the Hyundai Genesis.
According to Carscoops, the new 3.3-litre V6 made a quiet debut at the Chicago motor show, and pushes out 365 hp and 513 Nm of torque. The Korean Car Blog has reported that the hotter N-badged Hyundai Genesis could feature the same engine, but with power increased to 480 hp.
The Hyundai Genesis won’t be using a new chassis to complement this engine, and it will be just a facelift, which features Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language.
