At a private event held at Genesis House New York, Genesis unveiled their latest masterpiece – the GV80 Coupe Concept. This new addition to the Genesis brand emphasizes the duality of Genesis’ design philosophy by showcasing the antagonistic character that lives within the Athletic and Elegance parameters. According to Luc Donckerwolke, Group Chief Creative Officer, the GV80 Coupe Concept is a statement of intent for more emotional, performance-oriented models, and a preview of Genesis’ future programs.
Inspired by the X Speedium Coupe Concept that was revealed in New York last year, the GV80 Coupe Concept combines the practicality of a lifestyle-oriented SUV with the dynamism of a sports car, creating a unique and exquisite vehicle that is sure to capture the attention of car enthusiasts worldwide.
The GV80 Coupe Concept’s front fascia is one of its most striking features, sporting the Double G-Matrix Patterned Crest Grille that is surrounded by quad lights. The lights have evolved from multi-lens array technology to seamless light performance, further accentuating the vehicle’s dynamic design. Cooling is optimized by four slots within the bumper that reduce shadowed thermal flow, providing the driver with an exceptional driving experience.
The GV80 Coupe Concept’s refined proportions are emphasized by the anti-wedge parabolic line, which is complemented by the muscular blisters and fenders that contrast with the vehicle’s elegant coupe silhouette. The front fender wears the ‘Designed by Genesis’ plaque that highlights the exclusive character of Genesis models, while the five-spoke forged aluminum wheels and the carbon fiber roof emphasize the vehicle’s sporty character. The carbon fiber roof also contributes to the GV80 Coupe Concept’s dynamic driving qualities by lowering the center of gravity and reducing weight.
The vehicle’s optimized aerodynamic fluidity is complemented by an upper rear spoiler and spoiler lip on the elliptical concave ducktail, which provides increased downforce at speed. The seamless rear lamps complete the Two Lines signature at the rear, adding to the vehicle’s bold design. The model’s Magma exterior color was inspired by the brand’s Distinctly Korean ethos and symbolizes the self-confident and passionate attitude of Korea.
The GV80 Coupe Concept’s interior is a perfect contrast between Genesis’ elegant Beauty of White Space philosophy and athletic attributes. The three-spoke steering wheel plays an important role in emphasizing the sportiness of the interior, which contrasts black Nappa and suede leather with plaid double stitching, orange piping, and carbon fiber weaves on the functional surfaces. Four bucket seats provide increased body support during cornering, contributing to passenger safety and comfort. The carbon fiber backrest, painted in body color, further accentuates the GV80 Coupe Concept’s extroverted character. The structural stiffness of the body is reinforced with a G-Matrix strut brace behind the bucket seats.
The GV80 Coupe Concept confirms Genesis’ commitment and ambitions to deliver innovative luxury products with bold, emotional resonance. This vehicle is an embodiment of Genesis’ dedication to excellence, and with its unique design and innovative features, it is sure to set new standards in the automotive industry.
