Genesis Introduces The GV80 Coupe Concept In New York

JAKARTA - The luxury automotive manufacturer from South Korea, Genesis officially released the GV80 Coupe Concept at an event that took place at the Genesis House in New York City.

The design of the GV80 Coupe Concept is inspired by a concept previously released by Genesis, the X Speedium Coupe Concept last year. It also blends the styling elements of the GV80 model with the more varied X Speedium.

At the front of the GV80 Coupe Concept, it features slimmer LED lights with the latest multi-lens array technology. Then, there are air intakes at the front end which are more aggressive. Very different from the previous generation GV80.

Precisely the part that is more similar to the X Speedium concept is on the back. Equipped with a small rear wing at the top, as well as a slightly protruding outside of the trunk.

Another difference with the previous GV80 lies in the interior. The three-spoke steering wheel has been changed and the surfaces are finished in black Nappa leather and suede leather accented with orange piping and carbon fiber.

The SUV also has a four-seater capacity equipped with sports seats with carbon fiber backrests which are painted the same orange as the exterior.

Genesis Group's Chief Creative Officer, Luc Donckerwolke said that the release of the GV80 Coupe concept pushed him to improve Genesis' performance and dynamic attributes.

"Over the past seven years, we have added more lifestyle-oriented models to our portfolio, such as the GV80 and G70 SUVs. Now we are driving development with a more emotional car that enhances Genesis performance as well as dynamic attributes," said Luc as quoted by Carbuzz, Monday, April 3.

Genesis has not disclosed the specifications of the GV80 Concept and has not specifically stated its plans to put this vehicle into production.
