Video: Hyundai Genesis vs BMW 5-Series in a drag race

We’re not too sure about the details of this video so we’re going to go with what we see. Somewhere in Korea the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis went head-to-head with a 2006 BMW 530i in a drag race. According a little blurb of the video description, that is the Hyundai Genesis BH330. What is BH330?

The Hyundai BH330 is a Korean spec Genesis powered by a 3.3 liter V6 262ps (which converts to 258-hp) engine. The BMW 530i is powered by a 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine that also produces 258-hp.

To us it seems like the BMW 530i took off and won, but according to the video description on YouTube ‘Genesis BH330 won the race.’

It is obvious that the BMW with a motor that is two generations old beats it.

I guess this means it doesn't matter how big you are but how you use it?

So its obvious to anybody who can still see that the BMW clearly won the race but somehow the description on you tube says differently. Something was lost "in translation" from Korean to English. LOL...

in the picture above, however, it looks like the genesis "borrowed"some design elements (headlights) from the lexus LS

You can't really tell who won they don't show the finish line. The BMW was obviously quicker of the line though.
