Errrr,,,,um,,,,, arrrr,,,, are we going to see this V8 Hyundai trying to tackle Holden and Ford at Bathurst?
Maybe by giving the Hyundai V8 whatever they call it a few hundred kilometres start, it maybe kkkooooood have a chance to unseat Holden’s crowning glorey at Mount Panorama seeing we have yet to see Ford do the same thing.
See you all at Mountain straight ladies and gentlemen to view who comes over the hill from the bottom and approach Skyline in a flash and dare I say,,,, it will be Holden Commodore with a real V8 flogging around the mountain.

I imagine, based on US pricing it should be around the 60k mark, which looking at its market is about fair.

Nice lines and RWD V8, hope it does well.

Lastly, Imagine a whole where Hyundai has a V8 model in their showroom and Ford does not.

Come on Ford, show us the XR8 and G8 ect.

actually falcon figures are correct only if you run an FG on RON98 premium fuel, you get 208kW and 420Nm of torque, if you run it on regular you get 195kW and 391Nm of torque.

VE Commodore 3.6L 6cyl: 210kW (280 hp)350N·m (260ft·lbf)

Wow, good looking car, and nice sized V8. Love the V8 Burble.

If it does not make it to Australia I will just import the drive train and install in my 1967 Safari Valiant wagon. It too has a 4.6 litre motor and getting a little tired.

Hats off to Hyundai

Looks great on paper , we may see it in 2010 –
PS Rumor has it that no more grandeurs are being imported to make way for the Genesis

HOw come the genesis sedan doesnt come in Right hand drive. For sure it’ll be a killer in the asian market. Hope Hyundai re-consider to build a right hand drive edition.
