Genesis Magma GT Supercar Concept Edges Closer To Production
Genesis reveals refined Magma GT concept with finished interior and track-ready GT3 derivative.
Key Takeaways
- Genesis Magma GT Concept has been refined with a new metallic green finish and a finished interior.
- The mid-engined supercar is joined by a track-ready GT3 Concept that hints at closer ties between production and motorsports.
- The Magma GT Concept features an analog instrument cluster and a small screen with physical climate controls.
- The GT3 Concept has a redesigned bodykit with a more pronounced splitter, canards, and a massive rear wing.
- Genesis stayed quiet on what powers the Magma GT concepts, but a new version of the 3.2-liter V8 from the hybrid GMR-001 Hypercar is likely.
Refined Magma GT Concept
The Magma GT Concept first appeared in November 2025 as a preview of what Genesis calls its first pure sports car. This is the reintroduction, and the changes are small but telling. The bodywork trades the loud Magma Orange for a metallic green paired with copper alloy wheels, a combination that flatters the car’s curves far better than the launch color did.
Interior Reveal
More importantly, Genesis gave us our first look inside the two-seater cabin. The highlight is an analog instrument cluster inspired by “motor racing timekeeping instruments,” joined by three round dials on the center console. A small screen integrates physical climate controls, with a few switches sitting ahead of the aluminum gear knob for the automatic transmission.
The Racing Version
Alongside the refined road car, Genesis has unveiled the Magma GT3 Concept. The track-ready machine points to a future racecar beyond the current FIA WEC Hypercar program. Built to GT3 regulations, it shows the potential to “strengthen the connection between Genesis’ road cars and racing activities.”
GT3 Concept Details
The track-focused model gets a redesigned bodykit with a more pronounced splitter, canards, vented fenders, a much larger diffuser, and a massive rear wing. Add racing mirrors, Lexan windows, and different alloy wheels wrapped in slick tires. The chassis has been tuned for the track too, with lowered suspension and wider tracks.
Powertrain Speculation
Genesis stayed quiet on what powers the Magma GT concepts, but the likeliest answer is a new version of the 3.2-liter V8 from the hybrid GMR-001 Hypercar. The GT3 racer is further off, with Genesis calling it a project still under exploration and Hyundai Motorsport handling the development work.
