Genesis is showing off the 2018 G80 Sport at the ongoing Detroit Auto Show and has added some spice to its stand by bringing in a bright red example.

The new Genesis G80 Sport is the most dynamic model to wear the Genesis badge and adopts a thoroughly revised exterior to denote its performance-oriented prowess. This includes new front and rear bumpers, distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels and four oval-shaped tailpipes.

Beneath the skin, the G80 Sport receives its punch from a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter direct-injected V6 engine delivering 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. This power is channeled through an eight-speed automatic transmission and can be paired with an optional all-wheel drive system to maintain grip in the toughest of conditions.

As with all other Genesis models, this one incorporates a selection of safety features including a multi-view camera, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Driver Attention Alert.
