The first Hyundai Genesis (BH) was announced in Seoul and unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show as a rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan, sold worldwide except Europe and as the Rohens in China. It had multi-link front and five-link rear suspension and V6 or V8 engines, with near-even weight distribution. Its platform also underpinned the Genesis Coupe, the second Equus and the Kia K9.

The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Genesis Coupe's 2.0-liter turbo engine was offered only in the coupe, never in the Genesis sedan built on the same generational platform.
Hyundai pitched its first Genesis sedan as having 'the performance of a BMW 5-Series and the interior packaging of a 7-Series at the price of a 3-Series' — bold talk for a brand nobody yet called luxury.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
