The Stunning Genesis Gran Turismo Concept Revs To 10,000 RPM

Add another concept to the list of beautiful cars that Genesis will likely never produce. It’s called the (takes deep breath) Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept, or, put more simply, a gorgeous front mid-engine coupe. This mockup, shown in Barcelona during the Gran Turismo World Series World Finals, previews a downloadable Vision GT concept, so it won’t go into production but will be drivable as long as you have Gran Turismo 7. It has a curvaceous body with a dramatic, low roofline, a slippery drag coefficient of 0.34 and rides on center-lock wheels that look like a pain to clean. Oh, there are also gullwing doors and dual exhaust tips above the engine cover.

This mockup doesn’t have a powertrain, but the virtual version will have a V6 gasoline engine that revs all the way to 10,000 rpm. The six-cylinder gets a boost from tech dubbed e-SC, which is Genesis marketing jargon for an electric supercharger. While this setup is good for a little over 400 horsepower in the latest G90 sedan, it makes 870 hp and 790 lb-ft (1,071 Nm) of torque in Playstation land. Add into the mix an electric motor and the hybrid powertrain delivers a combined 1,071 hp and 986 lb-ft (1,337 Nm).

Genesis says it has adopted an “anti-wedge attitude” with the concept’s styling while incorporating the signature quad light motif. The lights extend onto the sides of the car by bisecting the fenders, giving the illusion the two illuminated strips meet underneath the bodywork. There’s a giant diffuser at the back with a vertical third brake light that takes after Formula 1 fog lights.

The two-seat cabin is minimalist, with an uncluttered posh interior with a couple of knobs and built-in screens on the center console and another pair on the steering wheel. The door cards incorporate rotary displays, and there’s a massive display as wide as the dashboard. It serves as the infotainment system since the driver’s instrument cluster has been built into the yoke-like steering wheel.

The Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept will be available in Gran Turismo 7 next month.
