Page 1 of 1 While Genesis Magma Racing’s debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an undoubted milestone for the team in its first-ever year of competition, the squad, and Genesis as a manufacturer offered invited media a first glimpse at one potential future project, unveiling the Genesis Magma GT3 Concept at a Press Conference at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Speaking at a press conference hosted at Genesis’ corporate hospitality unit overlooking the final corners of the circuit, Genesis Magma Racing Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul introduced the Genesis Magma GT3 Concept alongside Genesis Chief Creative Officer Luc Donckerwolke.
“The Genesis Magma GT3 Concept is one potential future direction for Genesis Magma Racing, alongside our FIA WEC Hypercar entry, as we grow to support the entire Genesis brand,” said Abiteboul. “Since the very start, we have stated that Genesis Magma Racing is a long-term project, and here we have one possible direction we can take. Like Hypercar, GT3 is another of the recent success stories in motorsport.”
He added: “Having Genesis and Genesis Magma Racing represented there would closely link the road-going and racing sides of the brand and add further to our profile in world motorsport.”
The Genesis Magma GT3 Concept has been developed in alignment with GT3 technical regulations, reflecting a performance-led approach shaped by motorsport requirements. Conceived as an independent study, it explores how race-driven architecture, aerodynamics, and engineering principles could inform future Genesis performance vehicles, rather than being derived from an existing road-going model.
During the same press conference, the Magma GT Concept—first revealed in November alongside the GV60 Magma—was presented with an all-new interior, illustrating a parallel exploration of how race-inspired thinking could translate into a refined road-going grand tourer. Together, the two concepts highlight one potential pathway for connecting Genesis’ motorsport ambitions with its evolving performance portfolio, without confirming specific production or racing plans.
“The Magma GT Concept and Magma GT3 Concept represent two distinct yet connected expressions of Genesis performance,” explained Donckerwolke. “The Magma GT Concept embodies our vision of luxury and athleticism on the road, while the Magma GT3 Concept translates that philosophy into the race environment, where every element is driven by performance, efficiency, and purpose. Together, they demonstrate how Genesis is exploring the full spectrum of high performance—from refined grand touring to uncompromising motorsport.” Page 1 of 1
