Unleashing the “Magma” – Genesis’ Answer to BMW M and Mercedes-AMG
In the world of high-performance vehicles, Genesis is set to make its mark with the introduction of the “Magma” sub-brand, dedicated to delivering exhilarating driving experiences. The Genesis GV60 “Magma” Concept is the brand’s first foray into the realm of performance electric vehicles (EVs), promising to offer an “evil” twist on the already impressive GV60 EV.
Fiery Debut: The GV60 “Magma” Concept Unveiled
The Genesis GV60 “Magma” Concept made its debut alongside two other high-performance concepts, showcasing the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering. While the G70 compact sports sedan and G80 internal combustion concepts cater to traditional enthusiasts, the GV60 “Magma” Concept represents Genesis’ vision for electrified performance.
Built on a Solid Foundation: The E-GMP Platform
The Genesis GV60 “Magma” Concept is based on the Hyundai Group’s impressive E-GMP platform, which underpins exceptional EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 6, and Kia EV6. This platform has already proven its capabilities with the high-performance Kia EV6 GT and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N models, setting the stage for the Genesis GV60 “Magma” Concept to deliver an unforgettable driving experience.
Elevating Performance to New Heights
While the standard Genesis GV60 already boasts impressive performance with its “Performance” trim capable of reaching 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.6 seconds, the “Magma” Concept promises to take things to the next level. Designed with sustained hardcore driving in mind, this concept aims to be the ultimate canyon-carving machine, rivaling the likes of the Tesla Model Y Performance, Porsche Macan Electric, and Hyundai’s own Ioniq 5 N.
Legacy of Performance Excellence
Genesis’ foray into high-performance EVs is backed by a strong legacy of performance engineering. The brand’s R&D department was formerly led by Albert Biermann, the ex-BMW-M-boss, ensuring that the “Magma” division benefits from expertise in designing exceptional performance vehicles. With a track record of delivering thrilling driving experiences, Genesis is poised to set a new benchmark in the world of performance EVs.
The Future Awaits: Specifications and Availability
While specific details about the Genesis GV60 “Magma” Concept’s powertrain, pricing, and availability are yet to be announced, Genesis has promised to reveal more information in the coming months.
