The Genesis G80 Magma Special Is A High Performance Executive Luxury Sports Sedan

The #GenesisG80 was the first vehicle under the new #Genesis luxury brand and while we have seen a #G80Sport in the US previously. Enthusiasts have been yearning for an even hotter version. The #GenesisG80MagmaSpecial is designed to be that with a lower suspension, wider fender flares, special 21" wheels with staggered tires, an upgraded exhaust system, and racy dual Recaro bucket seats. It will be built in limited quantities and will sadly only be available in the Middle East market for now.

I'm a sedan guy. I drive a modded M340i. I will never drive an SUV. My wife has one, that's all we need. Bring it, we need more sedans. And wagons!

[@TheoriginalBMT]

The older I get the more intrigued I am by the shooting brake or wagon models. I have always driven sedans

[@christopher-gardner]

I'll never understand the SUV obsession, what the hell is the average family hauling on a daily basis that you need a massive trunk for. People fit families in small Japanese sedans all through the 90's, these rolling condos are just ridiculous and way too expensive. Nothing beats the agility of a small lightweight sedan or coupe, not to mention better fuel economy, cheaper cost to own and ability to park easily. I cannot stand for the life of me these massive SUV's and trucks that park next to me at the grocery store and leave no room for error when opening doors.

They are coming in swinging, this thing is beautiful. If this was coming to the US I would love to place an order. It would be really nice to see it start around $55-63k, given it likely won’t compete much in the power segment. However with a few bolt-ons,a tune and E85 conv, it will probably safely make 450-500whp.

These magna versions need to have a minimum of 450 hp if they do, they could take the market for four-door sedan performance vehicles. Especially since the Dodge charger is out of the picture.

[@miraphycs7377]

is this "performance" sub-brand actually entails changes to important mechanical bits like transmission and powertrain or is this just some warm over body kits? Because lowering the car, having wider tires and having more agresive body kits doesn't seem like a lot and certainly won't compete against AMG, M, or even Lexus F

[@trstnhn]

Hyundai has what you're talking about, which is their N line. I don't think this Magma brand is as extensive as N is. Otherwise, it would probably have been a global release. Just speculating here so I don't actually have any answers.
