Le Castellet, France — At the Genesis Magma World Premiere, the automaker introduced its mid-rear-engined Magma GT Concept, marking a significant step in its long-term strategy to enter the GT racing class. This concept vehicle not only showcases Genesis’s vision for a high-performance halo car but also lays the groundwork for an imminent GT3 racing program.
Following the announcement, Genesis continues to build on its motorsport ambitions, previously highlighted by the GMR-001 Hypercar, slated for competition in the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. Furthermore, Hyundai, Genesis’s parent company, has enjoyed success with its TCR touring cars, including the acclaimed Elantra N TCR, which have amassed multiple championships globally.

It is defined by balance and is instinctively connected to its driver.”
