- 4:26The cabin combines quilted orange bucket seats, a small touchscreen and a digital rear-view mirror.
- 7:01The GT3 version adds a fixed wing, wider tracks and racing aerodynamics.
- 7:44The X Scorpio concept takes inspiration from trophy trucks, with carbon-Kevlar construction.
- 8:48The Box Buggy combines Brubaker Box inspiration with independently steering wheels and an open interior.
Quilted orange bucket seats give the Genesis Magma GT's cabin its colour. A relatively small touchscreen leaves room for something Tom Ford seems more interested in: a cockpit that keeps the driver's attention on driving.
"It feels quite focused and a definite step away from big screens and too much information," he says, settling inside the green concept supercar in Top Gear's new walkaround. The video has drawn about 388,000 views since yesterday.
This is a concept, not a finished showroom car. First unveiled in late 2025, it has production intent, according to Top Gear's description. Ford's tour makes the case through details rather than a road test: a low nose, clean mid-engined proportions, sculpted flanks and a broad rear diffuser. There is no rear windscreen, so a digital rear-view mirror handles the view behind.
The engine story is less settled than the bodywork. Ford discusses a possible twin-turbo V8 with electric assistance, but makes the uncertainty explicit: "Apparently it should be about 800 brake horsepower, but I'm just guessing." That is an estimate, not a confirmed specification.
Viewers are picking apart the same mixture of restraint and ambition. Comments discuss the uncluttered shape, the cabin and whether Genesis can carry the idea into production. One gets particularly specific about which direction the sequential-style gear selector ought to move.
The tour also goes beyond the road-car concept. Ford examines a winged GT3 version, then visits the trophy-truck-inspired X Scorpio and a Box Buggy with independently steering wheels. The buggy earns his description of "the world's most exotic dodgem". Back at the Magma GT, his verdict is more practical: "It feels like it could hit the streets with just a few tweaks."
