Genesis presents the Magma GT3 concept at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, expanding its sports-car motorsport efforts beyond its existing hypercar programme. The new vehicle is described as a race-prepared version of last year’s Magma GT concept and is positioned as developed to align with the GT3 class rulebook. While the car is still referred to as a concept, Genesis says the approach is sufficiently grounded in GT3 regulations that it could become a viable racing contender relatively quickly.
Compared with the road-going Magma GT, the GT3 concept adopts a more aggressive look, including auxiliary lights on the front fascia and additional carbonfibre aerodynamic elements. Exact powertrain and technical specifications are not disclosed in the available reporting, though the car is widely expected to use a V8 similar to that in the road version, potentially related to components used in Genesis’s other motorsport projects but tuned for the GT3 application.
Multiple outlets also frame the reveal as part of Genesis’s broader “Magma” performance strategy, aiming to translate its Magma branding from road luxury-and-athleticism into a track-focused configuration.
