Genesis Magma Racing is the newest performance division of the South Korean luxury car brand Genesis that promises to compete against BMW's M and Mercedes-AMG. This is Magma's first offering: the GV60 MAGMA.

Priced at 98,000,000 Korean Won plus additional costs, the first-ever Genesis GV60 MAGMA exemplifies what the Magma series is all about, allowing its drivers to feel the heat.
At first glance, it looks and operates like the standard GV60, but thanks to Genesis Magma Racing, it features a muscular aerodynamic design, a wider stance, a Genesis-first rear spoiler, a Magma-themed interior, sports seats, and MAGMA-specific modes displayed on its 27-inch panoramic screen, which combines both the virtual instrument panel and the infotainment touchscreen on the dashboard. The vehicle also includes various driving sounds to enhance the experience, which may be controversial, but adds to its uniqueness.
To match the allure of its counterparts—the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the Kia EV6 GT—the electric powertrain of the GV60 MAGMA is equipped with an 84 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and two electric motors that drive the front and rear wheels. It generates up to 650 PS of power and 790 Nm of torque, thanks to its Boost Mode. The GV60 MAGMA can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 264 km/h, which outperforms the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
In addition to its impressive performance, the GV60 MAGMA comes with stroke-sensing ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension) dampers, torque distribution, Drift Mode, MAGMA Mode with GT and Sprint settings, and the unique Virtual Gear Shift feature.
The first-ever GV60 MAGMA may be the most expensive of the triplets, but being the first of the Genesis Magma project, such controversially intense features will make drivers feel the heat behind the wheel. From the streets of Seoul to a track day in Inje, the Magma heat comes alive. Welcome to your new favorite Korean-made hot EV.
Available Colors: Magma Orange, Uyuni White, Beak Black, Makalu Grey, Seville Silver, Tromso Green, Stor Green, Ceres Blue, and Capri Blue.
