Overview
- Genesis unveiled the production-ready GV60 Magma at Circuit Paul Ricard, quoting 650 hp (478 kW), 790 Nm, a 15‑second Boost Mode, and 0–200 km/h in 10.9 seconds, with US and European deliveries set for 2026.
- Alongside it, the Magma GT Concept debuted with a confirmed mid/rear layout; Genesis withheld technical details and timing but positioned it as a long-term road and GT racing signal.
- Reporters noted a V8-like sound from the GT Concept during a brief dynamic appearance, though the company has not disclosed the powertrain or confirmed any engine configuration.
- Genesis outlined plans for Genesis Magma Racing in Hypercar and GT3, building on its 2026 WEC entry with the GMR‑001 and using motorsport to anchor the brand’s performance identity.
- The WEC driver roster was confirmed as Mathieu Jaminet, Paul‑Loup Chatin, André Lotterer, Pipo Derani, Dani Juncadella, and Mathys Jaubert, with Jamie Chadwick named reserve, as the brand also pursues a halo strategy after weak GV60 sales in markets like Australia.
