ABACABRIOLET
Genesis X Convertible
The dazzling G-Matrix patterned alloy wheels have been designed to improve airflow around the car, and also to keep the brakes cool.
£N/A (concept) / genesis.com
Ooh, I haven’t been this excited by Genesis since Peter Gabriel left. We know what we like. This is a drop-top EV that follows on from the Hyundai offshoot’s two-door X and X Speedium Coupé concepts. It’s the conclusion to the ‘trilogy’ and will serve as a show car as part of plans by Genesis to go all-electric by 2025.
Any design highlights?
Many, too many. Sitting on an extended wheelbase, the car has LED quad headlights, a long bonnet and swish flared arches. There’s also a large folding hardtop roof. Slender taillights and a lack of door handles add to the design magic, while a custom ‘crane white’ finish (created especially for the X Convertible) dazzles thanks to an ample dose of pearl particles. The white crane is a cultural icon in Korea, where Genesis is based.
