Video: Hyundai Genesis Street Races a BMW 530i

With all that talk about the Hyundai Genesis being an economical alternative to the BMW 5-Series, a street race between the two mid-size sedans was bound to happen somewhere. The poster of the video that was shot in Korea, supports that a Korean-spec Genesis BH330 equipped with a262Hp 3.3 V6 engine managed to win a BMW 530i (3.0 straight-six with 272Hp) in a head-to-head street race. At least that’s what the poster says as the video shows the bimmer leaving the Genesis behind in the beginning and well, that’s about all we see. -Continued

But even if the video actually showed a winner, having taken part in several professional performance tests ourselves, we can say that one shouldn’t take these amateur drag/street races too seriously as we’ve seen time differences of more than 2 seconds in a 0 to 60mph sprint by the same car and the same driver.
