    The front design of the car looks distinctive with Double G-Matrix Patterned Crest Grille bracketed by quad headlights that incorporate new multi-lens array technology. It also boasts a carbon fibre roof that not only aids in reducing the centre of gravity but also leads to a reduction in weight.

    Adding to the coupe’s exceptional styling are five-spoke forged aluminium wheels, an overhauled roof line, an upper rear spoiler, a spoiler lip on the elliptical ducktail, and striking rear lamps. We can also find a "Designed by Genesis" plaque on the car’s front fender.

    Emphasising the car’s bold design is the Magma exterior paint inspired by the automaker’s Distinctly Korean ethos. Luc Donckerwolke, Group Chief Creative Officer describes it as, “The colour symbolises the self-confident and passionate attitude of Korea. There is a quiet, efficient, disciplined, and humble first impression soon contrasted by a high performing and extroverted attitude.”

    As for under-the-skin specifications, Genesis remained tight-lipped with just confirming the vehicle underpins a rear-wheel-drive platform.

    Luc Donckerwolke further added, “At its inception, the Genesis brand began creating luxury sedans, which evolved into the G70, G80, and G90 models. Over the past seven years, we have added more lifestyle-oriented models to the portfolio, such as our GV80 and GV70 SUVs. Now we are pushing the envelope with more emotional cars that elevate Genesis’ performance and dynamic attributes.”
