Over the weekend, Genesis secured a respectable 13th place finish in its first crack at the Hypercar class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Turns out it was fairly busy off the track at the same time too, because it also unveiled another racecar \u2013 the Magma GT3 Concept.<\/p>\n

Yep, it\u2019s the bewinged, competition-spec version of the Magma GT Concept<\/a> that we first saw back in November last year. And it looks fantastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Genesis says the GT3 was developed in collaboration with Hyundai Motorsport and that it \u201coutlines a potential future direction for Genesis Magma Racing\u201d, so here\u2019s hoping it does decide to make the leap. The racer gets widened tracks, a large front splitter and that massive rear wing plus diffuser combo.<\/p>\n

The road car has been updated since we first saw it too, with a new green paintjob and a proper interior with lots of quilted leather, Alcantara and proper physical dials. Hurrah! There\u2019s a gated-style drive selector, giant paddles behind a rather lovely steering wheel and a small central screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Remember, this thing was designed to be a \u201ctwo-passenger luxury grand tourer\u201d with the 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 from the GMR-001 Hypercar<\/a> mounted midship and potentially a supporting hybrid system. Yeah, Genesis might be about to become very cool indeed.<\/p>\n

At Le Mans, the company also announced plans to grow into new markets in Europe including Italy, France, the Netherlands and Spain. Oh, and it showed off \u2018evolved\u2019 versions of the X Gran Convertible Concepts<\/a> that were originally introduced at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show. They\u2019re now looking slightly sportier, with the redesign apparently \u201cfurther aligning the model with Genesis\u2019 expanding Magma portfolio\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hurry up and build them all, Genesis!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
