The luxury car market has been abuzz with the recent unveilings of Genesis' Magma GT and X Skorpio. Both vehicles were touted as high-performance machines, but a new report from Motor1 has raised eyebrows by suggesting that they may not be entirely original designs.
According to the report, both the X Skorpio and Magma GT share several key components with other vehicles in their respective lineups. The most striking similarity is between the Magma GT and the C8 Corvette, which appears to be wearing a different skin.
Both cars have identical tire specifications, radiator positions, and rear subframes. This has led some to speculate that Genesis may be using existing designs from GM's stable of vehicles.
While Genesis has not commented on these allegations, the report highlights several key similarities between the two vehicles. The X Skorpio, on the other hand, appears to share components with the Local Motors Rally Fighter, a vehicle that was developed by a company called Local Motors before its demise.
If true, this would suggest that Genesis may be acquiring existing designs from other manufacturers rather than creating entirely new ones. The implications of this report are significant, and it remains to be seen how Genesis will respond to these allegations.
If the report is indeed true, it would raise serious questions about Genesis' commitment to original design and innovation. As a luxury brand, Genesis has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of performance and style, but if they are relying on existing designs from other manufacturers, it could be seen as a step backwards.
