NEW Genesis GV60 Magma – The EV with a FAKE 9,000rpm V6!

With a simulated V6 petrol engine, a phony gearbox and an enormous 641bhp, the new Genesis GV60 Magma is among the fastest and wildest electric SUVs ever constructed!

But below the aggressive styling and striking Magma Orange paint, is it really better than its sister vehicle, the Hyundai Ioniq 5N?

    Best part of all the Performance models available, is that it removes some of the concentrated demand for the Ioniq 5N…. Thus making the Ioniq 5N and 6N more available and affordable…👍👍👍

    A friend has one as a company car (not the Magma!) and loves the car and package that comes with it. A big step up from his previous Volvo EV.

    I really hope you can disable the fake noise and gearbox as that is not what an ev is about. If you want them, go and buy a manual v6. At least if it’s optional then it can appeal to more people.

    Waste of time on British roads , boy racer says oh look 3.4 secs to 60 mph , then straight down a pothole 😂😂😂 driving isn’t all about being the fastest, it’s ride , handling etc , not showing of leaving everyone standing at the traffic lights , that’s childish 😊👍👍

    Genesis I think is the better brand option over Lexus now👍

    Definitely looks cool, but I think that Hyundai Group should keep Genesis as a luxury brand and leave performance to the Hyundai N division

    not even sure this guy has ever driven a petrol v6 if he thinks that fake engine sound is good and realistic ! Sounds more like an 80’s arcade game 😃

    Looks great and love the colour, but not sure why you’d have one over an i5N, as seems identical specs – unless they’re the same price of course. Plus just FYI, you’re never ever getting 270 miles from that battery! 200 is more realistic I’m afraid, but still on par with what you’d expect from a tank of fuel in very high performance ICE car.
