After entering the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar division this season, Genesis Magma Racing has introduced a fresh GT3 Concept ahead of the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Built from scratch to meet GT3 rules, the concept includes a broader track, competition-focused body panels, and improved cooling systems for longer reliability.
Though currently an exploratory project, the firm notes that the GT3 Concept's performance focus may shape upcoming Genesis models.

Genesis launched its GMR-001 Hypercar in the current FIA World Endurance Championship season, allowing the brand's racing efforts to gain quick momentum in 2026. Just before that car's initial 24 Hours of Le Mans run, Genesis Magma Racing broadens its motorsport plans by unveiling a new GT3 Concept at Circuit de la Sarthe.

Although derived from the Genesis Magma GT Concept, also displayed with a complete interior for the first time in France, the racing version was created specifically around GT3 regulations. It features a wider track, competition bodywork, and a fixed rear wing positioned behind the mid-mounted engine.

The company stresses that this remains an exploratory effort, with parts, development routes, and the base structure still under review, yet the motorsports team clearly aims beyond LMDh programs.

In addition to raising Genesis Magma Racing's standing in the World Endurance Championship, insights from projects like the GT3 Concept could enhance the performance character of future production cars. As Genesis develops its Magma performance lineup, ongoing motorsport involvement promises positive outcomes for enthusiasts.

Austin's interest in cars started early and at 1:64 scale. Hot Wheels soon proved insufficient, leading to a fascination with his father's 1965 Ford Mustang.

Around that period he began contributing automotive reviews, news pieces, and technical articles to various local and global outlets. At Car and Driver, Austin applies over 10 years of industry experience along with a typical appreciation for German engineering.
