"We plan on maximizing the performance abilities of the Genesis and are looking forward to developing a must-see car at this year's SEMA show."
The RKSport Genesis is designed around a European look and feel. The Platinum Silver color scheme highlights the body kit, exterior components, clean lines and contours of the vehicle.
