The Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept Sure Looks Like a Production-Ready Fastback SUV

First things first: It’s gorgeous. The Genesis design department, led by ex-Audi, ex-Lamborghini, ex-Bentley designer Luc Donckerwolke, is on a hot streak of releasing gorgeous vehicles, whether they’re production-ready or concepts like this. But looking closely, this doesn’t really seem like a concept car — it has all the hallmarks of a nearly production-spec machine. Meet the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept.

The concept is a four-seater, with a sloping rear roofline and a chopped-off tail section capped by spoilers on the roof and the rear belt line. The signature Genesis “Two Lines” design of the front and rear lightning elements has been accentuated beyond what you see on the production GV80. I, for one, think it’s fantastic.
