The Genesis GMR-001 is an upcoming sports prototype developed by Genesis and Oreca. Designed to compete under LMDh regulations, the GMR-001 is set to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship in the Hypercar category and the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the GTP category starting in 2026 and 2027 respectively.
In September 2024, Hyundai announced that they would be launching a LMDh programme under their Genesis luxury car brand with Oreca as the chassis supplier.
Genesis Motor formally unveiled their car at large scale at a launch event in Dubai three months later in December 2024, now known as the GMR-001. At the event, they announced that their new team, Genesis Magma Racing, would officially enter the FIA World Endurance Championship with the GMR-001 by 2026, followed by an entrance into the IMSA SportsCar Championship the year after. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul confirmed that the GMR-001 would be using a twin-turbocharged V8 engine and contain a hybrid system.
