Genesis has just unveiled its latest concept car, the Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept, at the 2024 Busan Motor Show in South Korea. This stunning concept car is the fourth vehicle developed by Hyundai’s luxury brand specifically for the Gran Turismo racing game. With its aggressive styling and upgraded hybrid powertrain, this concept car is a powerhouse on the virtual racing track.
The Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept features a front mid-mounted V-6 engine with an electric supercharger that delivers an impressive 870 horsepower and 790 pound-feet of torque. When combined with the front-mounted electric motor, the total system output reaches a staggering 1,540 horsepower and 1,051 pound-feet of torque. These numbers may seem too good to be true, but unfortunately, this car only exists in the virtual world of Gran Turismo and as a full-size scale model for display purposes.
The striking orange paint job of the Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept is part of the new Magma lineup, a Genesis sub-brand dedicated to performance vehicles. This concept car is a testament to Genesis’ commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new technologies in the world of automotive design.
Inside, the cabin of the Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept has been transformed into a single-seater with a carbon fiber bucket seat, a fully integrated roll cage, and a racing yoke. The addition of more knobs and buttons allows the driver to adjust various settings, such as the traction control system’s level of intervention, enhancing the immersive racing experience.
While Genesis has not announced when the Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept will be available to drive in Gran Turismo, fans of the game can look forward to the upcoming June update, which typically includes several free cars for players to enjoy. The anticipation is high for the release of this high-powered concept car in the virtual world, where players can experience the thrill of driving this cutting-edge vehicle on the digital racetrack.
