Its distinctive hexagonal front grille is juxtaposed by unique headlamps with full LED headlights housed within a copper-colored encasement. Rounding out the G80 Sport’s sophisticated-yet-athletic front face is a unique sport-design front fascia that integrates a honeycomb lower front air dam and functional side air intakes that channel air around the wheels for improved aerodynamics. Dual split spoke 19-inch dark alloy wheels, featuring a copper bezel on the “Genesis” wheel center cap, round out a truly signature look that distinguishes the G80 Sport from the competition. To further enhance the vehicle’s expressive side profile, a sleek lower rocker panel has been added, along with dark satin trim for the lower section of the doors, surrounding the windows and set within the door handles.

GENESIS www.genesisnewsusa.com 10550 Talbert Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 USA 5 INTERIOR DESIGN A sumptuously appointed interior, sport-inspired design aesthetic, uncomplicated and intuitive operation of all controls, superb ergonomics and spacious cabin accommodations have been signature characteristics of the Genesis G80 model since its inception. The 2018 G80 Sport builds upon this exemplary interior design with the addition of driving enthusiast-centric features and trim. Immediately noticeable are the driver and front passenger sport seats that are both heated and ventilated, supplemented with additional torso and thigh bolstering. This makes them as supportive when navigating a sweeping turn at speed as they are comfortable for everyday driving and long commutes. The torso and thigh bolsters, along with the headrest, feature handsome detailing in the form of contrast stitching—double-stitched on the inner seam, single- stitched on the outer. Copper-accented perforated seating surfaces for both the seatback and seat bottom help to provide welcome ventilation. Other enhanced G80 Sport interior design features include a thick sport-design steering wheel with contrast stitching; authentic carbon fiber trim for the front of the dashboard as well as the side door; a stylish black suede headliner; sport pedals and an elegant copper Genesis clock affixed on the center of the front console waterfall. GENESIS www.genesisnewsusa.com 10550 Talbert Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 USA 6 Specifically chosen to be a stylish fit with the available exterior paint hues, interior color choices include black or gray leather (the latter color available exclusively with the Casablanca White, Caspian Black, or Sevilla Red). 02 POWERFUL YET HIGHLY REFINED POWERTRAIN Engineered to offer the ideal combination of maximum performance and comfort, the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport will not only impress drivers with its responsive power production, but also with its luxury-class refinement and composed operation. NEW LAMBDA II 3.3-LITER TWIN-TURBO V6 ENGINE Beneath its distinctive sport exterior, the 2018 G80 Sport is powered by a vigorous 3.3-liter direct-injected twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 365 horsepower and 376 lb.-ft. of torque, the latter figure produced across a wide swath of the powerband from 1,300 to 4,500 rpm (with premium fuel). Featuring an aluminum block and heads, this new Lambda II 3.3-liter T-GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine was developed over the course of a rigorous testing regime focused on overall powertrain responsiveness and efficiency with exemplary durability and reliability. The G80 Sport confidently delivers superior drivability and dynamic performance beyond what one expects from the typical mid-luxury sedan. GENESIS www.genesisnewsusa.com 10550 Talbert Avenue Fountain Valley, CA 92708 USA 7 To accomplish this, engineers utilized twin single-scroll turbochargers, an air-cooled intercooler as they concentrated on optimizing the engine and transmission synergy for increased low-end torque and reduced turbo lag. An integral turbo and exhaust manifold help to reduce weight while improving durability and exhaust performance. For enhanced powertrain efficiency, an electronic waste gate and thermostat are applied, which also help to improve vehicle responsiveness. Furthermore, an intermediated or middle position lock continuously-variable valve timing (CVVT) enhances intake operation range and operation speed to magnify engine efficiency and performance. This feature is a world’s first application on a V6 engine, and helps to reduce pumping loss. Another unique V6 engine application in the Lambda II engine is the use of sodium-filled exhaust valves to boost performance and efficiency while offering structural reinforcement for improved durability. These lightweight valves feature a hollowed valve stem filled with sodium to improve heat dissipation, thereby lowering the internal chamber temperatures, which allows for more aggressive spark timing. This results in a cleaner and more efficient burning of the fuel within the cylinder, improving power production while simultaneously reducing exhaust emissions. Beyond outright engine performance, Genesis engineers also made improvements to lower NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) within the powertrain. These include material enhancements and new components within the fuel pump, turbocharger and timing chain systems, along with a next-generation
