This is the hotly anticipated new Genesis sedan, a 2014 model in Korea and likely a 2015 car in America. The first official sketches of the car have just emerged online. Already we saw the first completely naked pictures, but the Hyundai Genesis is something to behold.

The car will go into production in a few more weeks and will offer Hyundai's own engines and eight-speed automatic gearboxes, plus an intelligent new all-wheel drive system, a first for the Genesis. The system is called HTRAC and electronically controls torque split between the front and rear axles.
