The Genesis GV60 Magma is a riot
Genesis - the one brand that has always been the polite guest at the luxury automotive dinner party. Back in the day, the Germans traded blows with ever-stiffer suspensions and carbon-fiber trinkets, but the Korean brand carved out a serene niche of quilted leather, silent cabins, and rotating crystal spheres on the center console. It was civilized. It was dignified.
Somewhere along that dignified line, the engineers in Namyang decided they had enough of playing nice. And what they came up with is the GV60 Magma - soaked in bright orange paint, with a rear wing that means business, and packing enough clout to send shockwaves through the unsuspecting electric crossover market.
This is not a cosmetic lash-up with fancy badges and bigger wheels - the hardware underneath is serious. Leading the team behind Magma is Manfred Harrer, the former Porsche chassis guru who now heads Hyundai Motor Group's R&D division. When someone with that kind of sports car pedigree talks about vehicle dynamics, you listen.
Harrer's philosophy is simple: straight-line thrust is cheap, razor-sharp controllability is priceless. Rather than dialing up the electric juice and hoping the tires hold on, his team went to work turning a plush urban cruiser into an apex-hunting missile.

The Genesis GV60 Magma is a riot
The Genesis GV60 Magma blends chassis wizardry, 650 PS of dual-motor punch, and engaging driver feedback to prove that Korean luxury knows how to have serious fun on the track.
