The brand casts the scorpion-inspired dune machine as a non-production design study exploring off-road performance for Middle Eastern enthusiasts.

Overview

  • Genesis unveiled the X Skorpio in the UAE’s Rub’ al Khali, tailoring the concept to the region’s high-speed dune culture.
  • Official figures cite a V8 with about 1,100 hp and 1,152 Nm of torque, signaling a combustion-focused approach built for sand and speed.
  • A tubular frame with an integrated roll cage, four-point harnesses and Brembo motorsport brakes targets racing-grade safety and control.
  • Off-road hardware includes 18-inch beadlock wheels wearing 40-inch tires, long-travel suspension and generous approach, departure and break-over angles.
