Genesis dropped a shocker on us last month with the introduction of the Magma GT Concept<\/a>. The low-slung, mid-engine supercar will help define the brand\u2019s next decade\u2014and all signs point to Genesis actually building the damn thing.<\/p>\n The nascent luxury brand has bold racing ambitions, with plans to enter the World Endurance Championship in 2026 and IMSA in 2027. With that, it needs a matching road car\u2014and not just one variant. A production Magma GT could potentially spawn track and lightweight versions, including a proper GT3 R model. As Genesis President and Chief Creative Officer, Luc Donckerwolke, says: “You will have the whole palette.”<\/p>\n Despite the concept\u2019s production-ready appearance, the brand wasn\u2019t eager to provide any real information about the car. It sounded like it had a V-8 engine at its debut, even though Genesis doesn\u2019t have a V-8 option in its lineup (yet<\/em>). Executives are staying quiet about the powertrain for now.<\/p>\n The Magma GT Concept signals a huge step for the Genesis brand. A proper mid-engine supercar tied to its racing aspirations shows others in the industry the brand is serious about performance cars and racing, and we\u2019re eagerly awaiting the GT\u2019s arrival. Until then, this is everything we know about the Genesis mid-engine supercar.<\/p>\n Genesis Magma GT Concept<\/em><\/p>\n Photo by: Genesis<\/p>\n Genesis currently uses an alphanumeric naming scheme for its vehicles\u2014G for sedans and GV<\/a> for crossovers and SUVs, with a number denoting the size. The Magma<\/a> sub-brand that Genesis recently introduced results in Genesis tacking the name to the end of the model, like the Genesis GV60 Magma.<\/p>\n Magma GT isn\u2019t the worst name, but it\u2019s unclear if Genesis will keep it through to production. The brand is tentatively calling its Le Mans hypercar the GMR-001, which sounds like a bioengineered ingredient for candy that\u2019ll never spoil.<\/p>\n The Genesis lineup doesn\u2019t have a mid-engine platform, so the GT will likely ride on bespoke architecture. The Hyundai Group has been working on a mid-engine platform for nearly a decade, but it\u2019s unclear if that project will assist the Genesis brand at all. It\u2019ll likely have extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials, but details are scarce.<\/p>\n Genesis GV80 Coupe V-6<\/em><\/p>\n While Genesis hasn\u2019t said anything about the powertrain, the concept that the brand showed off last month likely had a V-8. Genesis is building a new, twin-turbocharged V-8<\/a> for its Le Mans fighter, combining two 1.6-liter four-cylinders, but Genesis is designing it for racing, and it might not end up in the production version. <\/p>\n If Genesis plans to launch a range of mid-engine supercars, it could utilize several different powertrains. While the base car that Genesis showed off had a V-8, a production base model might have something else, like a version of the brand\u2019s twin-turbo V-6 hybrid.<\/p>\n The 3.5-liter hybrid engine in the GV80 makes 409 horsepower, which doesn\u2019t seem like enough for a car as slick as the Magma GT. But it could be the starting point. The fanciful X Gran Berlinetta<\/a> concept had a V-6 engine and electric motors making a combined 1,071 horsepower, which sounds much more appropriate for a supercar.<\/p>\n It seems likely that one iteration of Genesis\u2019 new supercar will have some form of electrification. The brand has a mild-hybrid setup, and a version of that setup will likely help power the Magma GT.<\/p>\n Genesis Magma GT Supercar Rendering by Motor1<\/em><\/p>\n Photo by: Theophilus Chin | Motor1<\/p>\n The production version of the Magma GT should look a lot like the concept. The car will retain the concept\u2019s mid-engine layout, the brand\u2019s twin-line lighting design, and the twin-line lighting accents. A few minor design tweaks here and there, and the concept should be ready for production.<\/p>\n Genesis hasn\u2019t announced when a production version of the Magma GT could debut. The automaker plans to enter the World Endurance Championship in 2026 and IMSA in 2027, so we would expect the GT sometime around then.<\/p>\n The concept looks nearly production-ready, featuring normal-sized wheels and side mirrors, so it appears designers don\u2019t have much left to finish. A debut by the end of 2026 is most likely.<\/p>\n Pricing for a production version of the Magma GT is a complete mystery. Considering the bespoke design and unknown powertrain lineup, the car should easily cost over $100,000 to start. The plethora of variants could spread out the GT\u2019s cost, but we wouldn\u2019t be shocked if the GT3 variant cracked the $200,000 mark.<\/p>\n A New Dodge Durango Is Coming in 2029.
