Genesis Reveals A New V8-Powered Off-Road Desert Racer

SAUDI ARABIA: When you think of supercars and hypercars, you don’t generally think of them as off-road beasts; they’re generally reserved for tracks and highways. Well, Genesis disagrees, and they’re coming up with a wild V8-powered desert racer to prove this point. Genesis had recently shared its track-focused high-performance capabilities with the Magma GT, which is a mid-engined supercar. 

The new announcement of the off-road racer, which has been named X Skorpio, is exciting and intriguing to say the least. The brand has noted that the model has been engineered to perform in some of the world’s most demanding terrain. While there is currently no information on whether the X Skorpio will reach production or not, it is important to note that the off-road capable model has certainly created a buzz on the internet. 

Genesis X Skorpio: What We Know So Far?

The X Skorpio is going to be powered by a V8 engine, which is the headline information that has been shared by the brand. Beyond its powertrain, the design of the model also deserves its own headline because it looks nothing like the existing SUVs from the Genesis lineup. The frame of the X Skorpio tubular frame, integrated roll cage, and a combination of carbon-fibre, Kevlar, and fibreglass bodywork.

The brand has also teamed up with Brembo for motorsport-inspired brakes and BFGoodrich for custom 40-inch off-road tyres for the car. Genesis has specifically mentioned that the X Skorpio is tailored for the automotive culture of the Middle East, which means if the car does go into production, a grand Middle East and KSA launch is inevitable.
