Genesis GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle Concept

Genesis is known for luxury cars, and now it has decided to take a step forward. Following the presentation of the GV80 special model at the Dakar Rally, the South Korean brand has launched a new model, the GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle Concept. The car was created for snow, and is based on the GV60.

The car is equipped with carbon fenders, front and rear undercarriage protection, additional headlights, huge snow tracks placed in place of the wheels, while on the roof there is a light bar mounted on custom roof racks. Although using an electric vehicle in cold conditions far from serious charging infrastructure does not sound like a good idea, the vehicle-to-load system can be useful, as it allows the concept to power auxiliary devices.

The interior of the crossover is equipped with new sports seats, medical equipment and communication systems for mountain rescue.

Last year we saw another special concept, the X Snow Speedium Concept, which is based on the standard X Speedium Concept. It was painted white and had roof racks for skis.

2026 Genesis GMR-001 LMDh

After Aston Martin announced its return to the WEC (World Endurance Championship) this summer, another manufacturer is entering one of the toughest competitions in the world. According to the latest information, Genesis is developing the GMR-001 LMDh prototype that will compete from 2026.

Genesis has not yet revealed the engine configuration that will power the GMR-001 prototype, but they have revealed that they have chosen the French company Oreca for the carbon chassis, out of four possible manufacturers. According to the current regulations, all LMDh class prototypes have an identical gearbox (X-Trac) and components that make up the hybrid system (Williams batteries and Bosch electric motor).

Cyril Abiteboul, who has long been at the head of the Renault F1 team, has been chosen as the boss of the newly founded Genesis Magma Racing team, and for now it is known that the driver lineup will include three-time Le Mans winner André Lotterer and Pipo Derrani, who won the GTP class title in the IMSA championship last season.

Genesis plans to enter the North American IMSA Endurance Championship in 2027.

2025 Genesis GV60 Magma

In March, South Korean brand Genesis unveiled a luxury concept that represents a milestone in the brand’s evolution, the GV60 Magma. Now the company has announced that production will start in 2025.

“We want a new unique combination of Korean premium feeling, which is quite unique and special, as well as European driving dynamics. We will not talk about numbers, because that is not the most important thing. However, Magma cars will not be slow,” said Director of Vehicle Development, Tyrone Johnson.

The GV60 Magma concept is wider and lower than the standard GV60 and is adorned with unique exterior details, adjustable suspension and thermodynamics. Inside, there are comfortable leather-trimmed seats with double diamond pattern stitching. It is equipped with the Magma Performance Program, which will eventually reach every model in the range.

Although it is Genesis’ answer to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and KIA EV6 GT, the company says it is a completely different car. “The Ioniq 5 N and the EV6 GT are categorically different cars, they have different characters, and that’s not just the result of the tuning, but also some hardware changes. Also, the Magma brings hardware changes,” said Tyrone Johnson.
