The Genesis GV60 would be the first “Magma” mannequin to hitch the model’s increasing lineup. The automaker launched the efficiency line almost a yr in the past, shortly tempering expectations that Magma could be as hardcore as BMW M or Mercedes-AMG. Since then, we have been questioning the way it’ll evaluate to different efficiency electrical automobiles, and a brand new spy video suggests it’d truly be good. Excellent.

The video exhibits Genesis testing a camouflaged GV60 Magma alongside a pre-facelifted Porsche Taycan and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. It is tough to find out which Taycan mannequin Genesis is utilizing to benchmark the GV60, however the base Porsche produces as much as 402 horsepower.

We all know fairly a bit concerning the 5 N. It is a enjoyable EV that may make as much as 641 hp, propelling the household crossover to 60 miles per hour in simply 3.4 seconds. Whereas the GV60 and Ioniq 5 share loads of {hardware}, the Magma will not be a easy reskin of Hyundai’s scorching N mannequin.

The GV60 can have a singular tune that compliments Genesis’s traits whereas making “a whole lot” extra horsepower than the 429-horsepower GV60 Efficiency, in keeping with Hyundai Motor Group’s Chief Inventive Officer and design boss Luc Donckerwolke. The GV60 Efficiency, which may make as much as 483 hp for 10-second bursts, already hits 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.

Genesis officers have been coy concerning the particular upgrades the GV60 Magma may have, solely saying that it will have a greater battery and improved electrical motors. The GV60 Magma idea that debuted final yr featured wider fenders, aerodynamic enhancements, and 21-inch wheels. It is unclear how a lot faster the Magma shall be over the Efficiency trim.

BEVs just like the GV60 Magma democratize horsepower in a really inconvenient manner for supercar makers. The I5N, which prices simply $67,000, is strictly one second slower than the slowest vehicles on our record of the quickest automobiles ever constructed. The Bugatti Centodieci, Ferrari LaFerrari FXX Okay, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, McLaren P1 GTR, and Rimac Concept_One, none of that are as low-cost because the Hyundai, take 2.4 seconds to succeed in 60.

How lengthy earlier than a Genesis or Hyundai mannequin joins that record?
