046 | Genesis Magma GT Explained: Hyundai’s Supercar, KDM Cars & the Future of N

Could the Genesis Magma GT become Hyundai’s first true supercar?

In this episode of Cool Cars with Chris, Chris and Courage discuss the rise of KDM cars, the future of Hyundai N, and how Genesis is trying to compete with established performance and luxury brands.

They break down the Magma GT’s possible V8-hybrid powertrain, mid-engine design, pricing, production potential, and whether buyers would choose it over a Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini.

The conversation also covers the Elantra N, Veloster N, Genesis Coupe, Kia performance cars, exotic-car depreciation, Hyundai reliability, and why Korean performance cars are becoming more popular with enthusiasts.

Would you buy a Genesis supercar?
