Good Luck With Your Mission
Upstart GENESIS Brand Aims Straight At The Germans With Plans To Build A Supercar!
Mercedes-AMG has the GT coupe, Audi has the R8 and BMW has the i8, and now it seems Hyundai’s upstart Korean prestige brand, Genesis, is interested in developing a rear-drive tyre-shredding supercar too.
The Hyundai-owned company plans to roll out four
passenger vehicles and two SUVs over the next five years but the car
that will really put the fledgling brand on the map is a supercar.
The man who oversees all new car designs for the Genesis car brand, former Audi stylist Peter Schreyer, revealed that a hard-core halo car was on the agenda for the company but that “all these things take a little bit of time”.
