SPIED + VIDEO: NEW Footage Captures The Genesis G80 Working Its Way Around The Nüburgring — You Dig?

When it comes to Hyundai's luxury division, Genesis, one place I do not expect to really see them undergoing testing is at the world-famous Nürburgring. I get it for a vehicle like the Veloster N but the all-new Genesis G80, not so much.

That said, it has become standard practice across pretty much any automaker touting performance as a differentiator. So, we can't blame them.

If the GV80 can spend time on the 'Ring, its sedan siblings better as well.

Sporting minimal camouflage and no heavy cladding, the all-new G80 was nabbed undergoing some developmental testing. Clearly, the brand is committed to its very aggressive front grille that's now home on the G90 and GV80. I guess the G70 is next?

From what I can tell, it seems clear this will be a more luxury-oriented vehicle. The upcoming G80 plows through turns when pushed and has a bit of lean. Also, it is pretty much silent as it works its way from corner to corner. So, don't expect a thrilling soundtrack either. Unless, of course, it's piped in via the sound system.

Check out the clip below for more context.

It's obvious the designers didn't pay attention to Acura's beak failure. They made it even bigger!

The G80 is a really good car and this one is likely better, but what's the point? Sedans are toast and Hyundai-Kia has botched the launch of Genesis so badly that they really don't have a shot. They should buy the Jaguar or Maserati name and try that.

It'll make a great used car buy in 3 years.
