In an interview with Motor Trend, Genesis boss Manfred Fitzgerald revealed the company is already working on a production variant as they’re currently validating its chassis. The executive went on to say they’re trying to get the “powertrain equation right and defining which way we want to go with it.”
That statement is a little open ended, but Fitzgerald did say that “different configurations and different options are on the table.” The concept was an electric vehicle with multiple motors and a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and while we don’t see the latter being a feasible option, for cost reasons, an electrified powertrain can’t be ruled out, especially when everyone is moving towards this direction.
