Genesis has revealed the Magma GT3 Concept at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, offering the strongest indication yet that the Korean luxury brand could be planning an expansion into GT3 racing.
While Genesis hasn’t confirmed their racing programme, the concept was unveiled as a potential future project for Genesis Magma Racing as the brand looks to grow its motorsport footprint beyond the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Unlike most GT3 race cars, the Magma GT3 Concept has not been derived from an existing production model.
Instead, Genesis developed the car around GT3 regulations from the outset, focusing on aerodynamics, performance, and racing functionality.

Genesis insists the Magma GT3 remains a concept for now. However, by bringing a GT3 racer to Le Mans and openly discussing future possibilities, the brand has made one thing clear, its motorsport ambitions extend well beyond Hypercar racing.
