Is the 2025 Genesis G80 Magma Edition a BETTER performance sedan than a BMW M5?

FIRST LOOK: the G80 is getting a performance upgrade from Genesis. On the outside you will notice the bright orange exterior paint, forged aluminum wheels, and performance exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by special Recaro race seats, Alcantara and Carbon fiber. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V6 that pumps out over 500HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2025 Genesis G80 Magma Edition a BETTER performance sedan than a BMW M5?

@Postingam2 I guess it depends on how much you put interest in long-term reliability. A NA V8 will last a lot longer than a turbo v6 due to the strain being put on the engine.
