Frankfurt, Germany, 19 June 2024:  Genesis has announced that its highly anticipated Genesis Magma program will make its global dynamic debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, alongside the global dynamic debut of GV60 Magma Concept.

Spectators will also have the chance to experience the global dynamic debut of G80 EV Magma Concept, along with the showcase of the G70 Nürburgring Taxi. All three cars will be taking on the hillclimb twice a day over the weekend, as well as displayed in the First Glance Paddock. For the first time ever, Genesis will also be competing to take part in the Shootout Sunday with GV60 Magma Concept, showcasing its driving capabilities and turn of speed.                                                      

The Genesis Magma program, announced in New York earlier this year, adds a new dimension to Genesis, marking the brand’s expansion into the realm of high-performance cars. Magma dynamics focus on a refined, effortless and rewarding driving experience, combined with a sharpened athletic design. 

Magma Program on Display

In addition to the dynamic debuts of GV60 Magma Concept and G80 EV Magma, alongside the showcase of G70 Nürburgring Taxi, other models within the Genesis Magma program will also be displayed at the new Genesis stand. Located directly opposite the First Glance Paddock, these will include G80 Magma Special and X Gran Berlinetta Concept. On the second floor, guests can have the chance to explore the electric trio of GV60, Electrified G80 and Electrified GV70 within the existing lineup.

Two Magma Dynamic Debuts 

GV60 Magma Concept features a redesigned front grille, wider front wings and a new rear bumper, giving it a dynamic stance. These design enhancements are complemented by a wider and lowered body and 21-inch wheels, with the overall car’s aerodynamics which have been improved to enhance performance.

G80 EV Magma Concept, which marks the second electric car model in the Magma program, embodies a heightened sense of athleticism and perfectly encapsulates power, performance, and style. Dynamic enhancements are integral updates to the car, with the implementation of an advanced suspension system, high-performance wheels, and large, ventilated front and rear brakes. 

Lawrence Hamilton, Managing Director of Genesis Motor Europe, said: “We can’t wait for the global dynamic debut of GV60 Magma and the Magma program to take place Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, an event renowned for celebrating automotive excellence and innovation. With the festival’s rich history and passionate audience, it is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of our newly launched Magma program with dynamic hillclimb runs, highlighting our modern and refined approach to performance.”
