We could see some very powerful Genesis cars in the next few years, as the firm moves to develop high-performance engines to challenge the likes of BMW and Mercedes
Highlighting the striking X Coupé, Convertible and Speedium family of concepts, and their potential for being made, Choi added:"We’ve had great feedback, and we’re looking into it. The next steps are to decide if it’s first possible and then feasible.”
Talking about feasibility of the concept cars making production, head of design Sangyup Lee, who spoke of his desire to launch a halo coupé, said: “The flush shapes we want for the cars are not easy to make in production, especially around the A- and B-pillar. These are challenging engineering details that we need to be perfected before we can proceed.”
Genesis has committed to launch only new electric vehicles from 2025, creating a line-up of at least six cars thereafter. However, it will continue to offer existing combustion-engined cars from that point, phasing them out only according to differing local regulations up until 2030, when it will be fully electric. It has pledged to be carbon neutral as a firm by 2035.
