Genesis Unleashes the X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo

The latest concept car to join the dream garage of the Gran Turismo game is a Genesis, and we really like it!

The X Gran Racer VGT concept is part of the high-performance Genesis Magma program. It is a very extreme derivative of the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta concept and the fourth vehicle from the brand developed for the Gran Turismo digital racing game series.

The X Gran Racer VGT concept features ground effect architecture, optimizing the aerodynamic qualities and handling capabilities of the vehicle. The electronically controlled active aerodynamic flaps ensure optimal airflow management, while the flat design of the underbody further reduces drag and enhances vehicle stability.

The design of the two-line grille, inspired by the X Trilogy concept, extends from the front to the sides and rear, creating a coherent flow that optimizes air circulation and enhances overall performance. The front splitter, rear diffuser, strategically placed canard planes on the front fairing, and an innovative side skirt further enhance aerodynamic stability at high speeds. The long wheelbase and relatively short front overhang give the car a particularly sporty appearance, further emphasized by the bulging fenders.

The hybrid powertrain delivers a combined power of 1,540 horsepower and 1,051 Nm of torque. The V6 engine produces 870 horsepower at 10,000 RPM, while the electric block located on the front axle generates an additional 670 horsepower.

The carbon fiber rear wing provides optimal downforce and accommodates the vertical rear lights, reminiscent of the Hypercars from the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In fact, this car looks ready to hit the track for real, even the steering wheel incorporates essential information for track use! Honestly, we really want to believe it.
