Tuned by Toca Marketing Group and referred to as the 'Steel Phoenix,' the latest build relies on a twin Garrett turbocharger setup and ARK catback exhaust to squeeze 600 horsepower from the Genesis' 5.0-liter V8 engine.

Naturally, the SEMA car is dropped with an AirRex air suspension system and features 21-inch three-piece wheels. Upgraded brakes can be seen behind the gunmetal rims, with eight-piston calipers up front and six-piston components in the rear.

"The main focus of this build was to zone in on the luxury aspect, while improving performance in parallel," said Toca founder John Toca. "Although I wasn't overly concerned about pushing crazy horsepower numbers, the custom-fabricated twin turbo setup adds 180 horsepower over the stock motor."

The exterior is differentiated by wide-body fenders and quarter panels, new front and rear bumpers and a carbon-fiber diffuser, while the interior features a long list of 'executive' treatments with custom Alea stitched leather throughout.

The Steel Phoenix will join a 1,000-horsepower Genesis Coupe, a 550-pony Genesis Sedan, and a Hellcat-killing Sonata at the show.
