Well, this concept car is designed to compete with Tesla’s Model S Plaid, another electric car that goes head to head against the ZR1 Corvette.

Genesis is not a new face on the luxury car scene.

It started its journey in 2015 as the luxury vehicle division of Hyundai Motor Group.

Since then, it has produced some of the most elegant and high-performing cars in the market.

Their G80 and G90 models are particularly well-known for their luxury features and smooth rides.

Now, with the introduction of the G80 EV Magma Concept, Genesis is stepping into the world of electric vehicles with style.

This concept car is part of Genesis’ Magma program, which aims to push the boundaries of performance, whilst keeping the environment in mind.

Now let’s take a look at its features, shall we?

Firstly, the car has a stunning design with a redesigned front grille and wider fenders, giving it a more aggressive look.

The back of the car has a special light in the bumper, like those on racing cars.

Plus, the design of the trunk door and the added spoiler help the car move through the air better.

But it’s not just about looks.

The G80 EV Magma Concept is about performance as well.

From an advanced suspension system to high-performance wheels and large ventilated brakes, it seems like the G80 EV Magma is ready to battle the Tesla Model S plaid, a car that even gave a tough time to the Bugatti Divo.

So, what do we find inside the G80 EV Magma Concept? Well, nothing but pure luxury.

It has soft Alcantara fabric and fancy quilted leather, making it feel really fancy and comfy for everyone inside.

With this latest automobile piece, it’s like Genesis’ screaming, ‘Watch out, Tesla! The electric race just got hotter!’
