Did Genesis Make the World's Coolest Golf Cart?GenesisGenesis showed up to this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans with two very important cars that should define its future as a newly performance-focused brand. One was the GMR-001, its Le Mans race car that made the brand the first South Korean company to both start and finish the 24 hour classic. The other was a concept for a halo product, a new iteration of the Magma GT shown off as both a road car and a GT3 race car.There was one other surprise, though, that was quite a bit further away from the brand's road cars. It was, in effect, a golf cart.Called the Genesis Box Buggy, this electric four-seater was first conceived by brand chief Creative Officer Luc Donckerwolke as a pit transport vehicle. Power comes from a 1.5-kWh battery pack originally found in a Hyundai Tucson hybrid, sent to "e-corner modules" on all four corners that contain suspension components, motors, steer-by-wire, and brake-by-wire systems. Since all four units can be turned and powered separately, it can theoretically completely turn sideways for crab-walk parallel parking. The combined system output is around 40 horsepower, and Donckerwolke told the media at Le Mans that it had enough power to rip four-wheel burnouts.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs cool as the concept was, it seemed to be little more than a vehicle to shuttle Genesis staff between the garage area and their media obligations at Le Mans. That changed last week, when Genesis showed it off in public for the first time in a new setting: a golf course. The Box Buggy's tartan interior fit right in at the brand-sponsored 2026 Genesis Scottish Open in Scotland, but sadly, the machine is probably too complicated and too expensive to ever end up as a consumer product aimed at actually transporting duffers around 18 holes. Still, if Fiat is bringing the Topolino to America, maybe there's hope.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
