Yahoo Autos Genesis G80 EV Magma Concept comes in hot at Beijing Auto Show
The Genesis G80 EV Magma Concept just sprang to life at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, and it’s quite the sport sedan. Don’t confuse it for the G80 Magma that was only just revealed at the NY Auto Show – that one’s gas-powered and an actual production car sold in the Middle East. This new Magma is electric and purely a concept for the time being.
All that said, this Magma Concept looks pretty production-ready to us. It mimics its gas-powered twin in many ways aesthetically, but still finds way to stand out. Of course, its Acme Blue paint is totally new and a color chose specifically for its reveal location in China. Genesis says it was inspired by extra-hot blue flames, symbolizing “the dedication to China’s continuous progress and advancement while also signifying the ever-evolving nature of the brand’s Magma program.”
The blue paint is fitting alongside all the other appearance enhancements. It has a much more aggressive front grille, wider fenders both in front and rear, big 21-inch wheels (with staggered, wider rear tires), a lower ride height, big lip spoiler, rear diffuser and a bumper-integrated fog lamp meant to remind of race cars.
