Genesis Attaches a Number to the Magma GT's Future: 800 Horsepower

· 1 min read

Genesis has confirmed that the Magma GT concept is headed for production before this decade is out, and the number attached to it is the real story: a twin-turbocharged V-8 built for as much as 800 horsepower. That figure arrives alongside footage of the concept making a run up a hillclimb course, a demonstration of the kind of pace that output is meant to deliver. It stands as the clearest indication yet of what Genesis's coming performance model will carry under the hood.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
