Genesis Magma GT: Release Date, Price, and Confirmed Production for Korea’s First Supercar
The Koreancarblog

The automotive world is filled with anticipation over the official confirmation of the Genesis Magma GT—a true mid-engine supercar that marks a monumental step for the Korean luxury brand. Set to be the first domestic supercar from South Korea, this car is more than just a concept; it is a confirmed production model and the official “halo model” that will define Genesis’s performance DNA for the next decade.

Here is a detailed breakdown of everything we know about the Genesis Magma GT, including its breathtaking design, expected performance, and crucial launch details.

The Birth of a Performance Heritage: The Magma GT’s Significance
The Magma GT is being launched as Genesis’s 10th-anniversary celebration model, a statement piece to establish the brand’s long-term performance heritage. Crucially, it is a Magma brand-exclusive mid-engine supercar, distinct from existing models (like the GV60 Magma) that are based on standard vehicles.

Positioned to compete with high-performance halo cars like the Chevrolet Corvette and Nissan GT-R, the Magma GT signals a serious commitment to engineering excellence and raw power from the Hyundai Motor Group.
Performance and Power: Unconfirmed Engine, High Expectations
While the exact specifications remain a mystery, the Magma GT is confirmed to run on an internal combustion engine (ICE).
Initial footage and the car’s loud, deep exhaust note have led to widespread speculation that the powertrain is a V8 engine. Though the official figures are pending, it is widely anticipated that this mid-engine marvel will target a performance output of over 700 horsepower to be competitive in the high-end supercar market.
Genesis Magma GT Release Date and Price Forecast
The timeline for the Magma GT’s launch is firming up, though its high-end positioning means an equally premium price tag is expected.

Launch Timeline

• Production Vehicle Unveiling: Expected in the second half of 2026.
• Official Release: The Genesis Magma GT is anticipated to hit the market in the first half of 2027.
• Expected Price: Projected to start at approximately 200 million KRW (Korean Won). This estimation places the starting price at roughly $136,000 USD in Korea, which doesn’t mean that will be the price for U.S, where usually are more expensive compared to Korea.

This will be amazing! Even at €150K with a V8 and this beautiful design i can't wait.

Wild V8 Genesis supercar set for cabrio and hardcore 'GT3'

Genesis will offer a full family of variants of its forthcoming mid-engined Magma GT - including a drop-top and a hardcore GT3 road car.

Unveiled in concept form, the Porsche 911 and McLaren 720S rival will arrive later this decade as the basis of a new GT3 race car.

But while homologation rules for the class require only 250 road-legal versions to be made, Genesis creative director Luc Donckerwolke confirmed that the Korean brand is planning a substantially larger production run.

The GT will be the only Genesis vehicle that is offered purely as a hot Magma model from the firm's new performance line and Donckerwolke said the version shown so far is "the base model".

"We will add S, GTS, roadster, lightweight, club sport, a GT3 road car, a GT3 R for track use," he said.

"It's a complete life cycle of products to offer different possibilities to customers that will combine performance and luxury inside."

Donckerwolke acknowledged that the concept version was powered by a V8 engine but said a final decision on the production model's powerplant has yet to be made and will be driven by both customer demand and the requirements of the GT3 class.

While the decision to offer a full line of Magma GT variants will draw comparison with the 911, Donckerwolke said it took inspiration from "clever life-cycle management" but wasn't conceived as a direct rival: "Our design and engineering will be completely different and applying the Genesis recipe of refinement and athletic performance will give it special positioning."

Hyundai Motor Group tech chief Manfred Harrer, who previously worked at Porsche on the 911, added: "We cannot go up against such an icon. We have to find our own way."
