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

Running across any road when and where you are not supposed to can be dangerous, but doing so during a race is just asking for trouble. Still, how much blame can you put on a kid that's just doing...what kids do? We don't know where this young...

Video: Hyundai Genesis Street Races a BMW 530i
