Hot G80 EV joins Genesis Magma lineup

Genesis has unveiled a new addition to its high-performance Magma range, with the world premiere of G80 EV Magma Concept.

The G80 EV joins the X Gran Berlinetta and GV60 Magma concepts.

The program marks the brand’s exciting entry into the realm of high-performance cars.

Magma redefines the boundaries of performance and luxury, with the aim of developing a high-performance Magma variant for each existing model in the line-up.

“The introduction of Genesis Magma to China signifies our expansion into a new frontier of the driving experience,” Head of Genesis Global Design SangYup Lee said.

“G80 EV Magma Concept is a stunning expression of both our design and engineering capabilities, as well as our commitment to meet the ever-evolving needs of Chinese consumers in pursuit of ultimate performance, represented by the beautiful and China-exclusive Acme Blue.”

G80 EV Magma Concept marks the second electric model in the Magma program, highlighting a more athletic aspect to Electrified G80, perfectly embodying power, performance, and style.

The front grille has been redesigned, offering a more striking appearance.

Wider fenders and a new rear bumper give the car a more commanding presence on the road.

The wider body and lowered ride height are complemented by 21-inch wheels, which are wider at the rear.

The rear bumper is adorned with an integrated fog light, reminiscent of iconic racing cars, while a sculpted boot door design and pronounced spoiler lip contribute to improved aerodynamics.

The rear diffuser and ducktail spoiler work together to optimise the flow of air, further enhancing the cars overall performance.

Performance is a key element of G80 EV Magma Concept, with various enhancements implemented.

The use of an advanced suspension system, high-performance wheels, and large, ventilated front and rear brakes significantly enhance the vehicle’s capabilities.

The wider track-tuned suspension for elevated road-holding and cornering potential, and larger brakes ensure excellent handling and increased driver confidence.

Keeping in mind the importance of weight management, the lightweight wheels have been optimised to cool the brakes while reducing unsprung weight.

The interior of G80 EV Magma Concept is crafted with Alcantara, quilted leather, and carbon-fibre inserts, featuring a blue-coloured weave.
