Genesis introduced the Magma GT Concept and X Skorpio Concept to dynamic track conditions for the first time at the 2026 Tutto Bene Hillclimb. The two striking concept vehicles ascended the 9-kilometre Strada Borromea on Mottarone mountain, their debuts representing a bold statement of Genesis' ambitions in high-performance automotive design and engineering.
The Genesis Magma GT Concept, unveiled statically at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, finally revealed its true character in motion. The mid-engined grand tourer tackled the winding Italian hill climb with precision — its purposeful proportions and uncompromising focus on performance embodying Genesis' exploration of luxury through the lens of high-performance engineering.
Making its European debut, the Genesis X Skorpio Concept is a dramatic departure that reimagines the brand's “Athletic Elegance” design language for off-road racing. The rugged vehicle showcased an entirely different approach to performance, featuring a tubular chassis and high-endurance components derived from competitive off-road racing development.
The X Skorpio Concept was piloted up the track by Genesis Magma Racing driver André Lotterer, who alongside his #17 GMR-001 Hypercar teammates Pipo Derani and Mathys Jaubert, recently secured the team’s best finish of the 2026 World Endurance Championship season at the Lone Star Le Mans at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. The three drivers managed to recover from an early incident and penalty to bring the #17 GMR-001 Hypercar back into the top ten to finish and score points in P7.
