Genesis Is Going GT3 Racing, and Here’s Its Race Car Concept

Key Points:

• Genesis has unveiled the Magma GT3 Concept, a race-focused counterpart to its Magma GT Concept, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking its entry into the Hypercar class and signaling potential expansion into other racing categories.
• Developed in collaboration with Hyundai Motorsport, the GT3 Concept is designed as a customer car for teams and drivers, aiming to enhance Genesis's presence in global motorsports and support its growth in Europe.

• Genesis Chief Creative Officer Luc Donckerwolke emphasized the dual nature of the Magma concepts, showcasing both luxury grand touring and uncompromising motorsport performance as part of the brand’s high-performance vision.
• The Genesis Magma Racing team is competing in its debut WEC season, already scoring points and achieving strong qualifying positions at Le Mans, highlighting the brand's rapid motorsport progress.
