Busan, South Korea - Genesis premiered the X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea today. The new racing car concept, designed essentially so it can feature in the Gran Turismo game, follows in the footsteps of the X Gran Berlinetta Concept shown by Genesis at the 2024 New York Auto Show this past April.

The X Gran Racer VGT Concept includes a number of features designed to optimize aerodynamics, speed and road grip. So we find electronically controlled aerodynamic flaps, big fenders, front splitter, a huge rear diffuser, canards on the front fascia and a more aggressive rocker panel. The rear wing is of carbon-fibre and adds significant downforce.
Genesis’ usual focus on refinement and removal of clutter is evident inside as well, but there’s a clear focus as well on track-only performance here. Elements have been chosen so as to minimize weight, so for instance carbon-fibre accents and other lightweight materials abound.
