Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai Motor Group's Chief Creative Officer, says that Genesis' hot GV60 Magma EV yet isn't just a reskinned Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
Most reasonable people would agree that with up to 483 horsepower and a zero to 60 mph time of 3.7 seconds, the Genesis GV60 Performance is no slouch in the speed department. But with the upcoming Magma trim level, previewed by the new GV60 Magma Concept, is going to turn the heat way up. During an interview with InsideEVs at Genesis House ahead of the New York Auto Show, Hyundai Motor Group's Chief Creative Officer and design boss Luc Donckerwolke gave us a preview of what to expect.
When it does go to production, it should have some of the visual tweaks from the concept—which looked essentially production-ready Monday night—including 'winglets' on the roof, an aggressive rear spoiler, 21-inch wheels with integrated aero discs for brake cooling and more. It also has a much more aggressive front end than the standard GV60. But Donckerwolke said they didn't skimp on refinement, either. 'You want to be faster, but wind noise is something you want,' he said.
