Genesis Hypercar GMR-001 Roars to Life: Exclusive First Test Images Unveiled!

Genesis Hypercar GMR-001 Roars to Life: A New Era in Motorsport Begins!

In a thrilling development that has automotive enthusiasts buzzing, Genesis Magma Racing has unveiled the first electrifying images of their GMR-001 Hypercar tearing up the track! This high-octane debut follows a series of monumental milestones that have solidified Genesis’s commitment to entering the world of sportscar racing.

After teasing fans with a scale model in Dubai last December and a stunning full-scale mock-up at the New York Auto Show in April, the anticipation has reached a fever pitch. The GMR-001, the brainchild of Genesis and its chassis partner Oreca, successfully fired up for the first time on July 9—a pivotal moment that marked the dawn of a new racing powerhouse. Fast forward to early August, and the first of three development cars rolled off the assembly line, much to the delight of the racing community.

On August 5, the GMR-001 made its electrifying debut at the prestigious Paul Ricard school circuit, with seasoned drivers Pipo Derani and Andre Lotterer behind the wheel. Their participation has been confirmed, and they are set to take this beast through its rigorous testing phases. “We are at a time where we seem to be passing milestones every day, but this is exactly what we must be doing,” exclaimed team principal Cyril Abiteboul. His excitement is palpable as the team transitions from planning to witnessing the fruits of their labor on the racetrack.

But that’s not all! Genesis Magma Racing is also gearing up to move into a state-of-the-art facility at Le Castellet, where they will prepare for the intense demands of racing. “The start of testing is the beginning of bringing the different streams of work together,” Abiteboul noted, highlighting the meticulous coordination required for chassis and engine development.

The upcoming months will see an aggressive testing program across circuits in Europe, with the next session set for the latter half of August at Paul Ricard. Technical director Francois-Xavier Demaison emphasized the significance of every test run: “Every bit of running we do with the GMR-001 Hypercar in 2025 is extremely valuable,” he stated. With the groundwork already laid through simulator work and shakedown sessions, the team is ready to hit the ground running.

As Hyundai continues to bolster its ranks with key personnel, all eyes are on the GMR-001’s racing debut, scheduled for March 28, 2026, at the grueling 1812 km of Qatar. With only four to five months left to perfect the car before it undergoes the crucial homologation process, the pressure is mounting.

Get ready, motorsport fans—the Genesis GMR-001 Hypercar is not just a car; it’s the beginning of a thrilling new chapter in racing history! Buckle up, because this is just the start of an exhilarating journey that promises to redefine speed and performance on the racetrack.
