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.

Genesis Neolun and GV60 Magma

The South Korean brand Genesis introduced two new concepts, Neolun and GV60 Magma. These are luxury cars that represent a turning point in the evolution of the brand.

Neoulun is a true electric SUV with a few tricks up its sleeve. It is equipped with coach doors, seats that can be rotated, and special heating reminiscent of the “Ondol” traditional heating system in South Korean houses. Heating is installed in the door panels, floor, dashboard and seat backs. Also, the lack of a B-pillar allows easier access to the cabin, which has a large centrally located screen on the dashboard and two adjustable screens in the ceiling for passengers in the back seats.

The GV60 Magma concept will be equipped with the Magma Performance Program, which will eventually reach every model in the range. It 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.

Genesis is still keeping a lot under wraps, but it is said that the GV60 Magma will come with improved battery and motor technology. The Magma concept will also offer an improved version of the G80 with better driving performance, the G80 Magma Special.
