Genesis has revealed a new GT3 Concept at Circuit de la Sarthe ahead of the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, expanding its motorsports ambitions beyond Hypercar. The concept isn't quite ready to hit the track yet, but Genesis Magma Racing clearly has more than just Hypercar ambitions.
With the debut of Genesis's GMR-001 Hypercar in this year's FIA World Endurance Championship season, the brand's burgeoning racing program hit the ground running in 2026. Now, just two days before that model's first 24 Hours of Le Mans appearance, Genesis Magma Racing is already expanding the scope of its motorsports ambitions by revealing a new GT3 Concept.
While it's based on the Genesis Magma GT Concept, which was also shown with a full interior for the first time in France today, the company says that the racing concept was designed from the ground up with GT3 technical regulations in mind. It looks the part too, with a wider track width, race-ready bodywork, and a fixed rear wing looming aft of the mid-mounted engine.

Beyond elevating Genesis Magma Racing's profile in the World Endurance Championship, the company says that lessons learned from exercises like the GT3 Concept also have the potential to bleed into the performance DNA of future models. With Genesis still building out its Magma performance subbrand, the company's continued interest in motorsports bodes well for enthusiasts.
