The Need for SpeedWhile Genesis is still considered a growing luxury brand, the company is already showing plenty of promise, not just commercially but also in ways that win over enthusiasts. There's the factory Genesis Magma Racing team competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship's top Hypercar class, and now, reports suggest that a high-performance grand tourer derived from the G90 sedan could be in the pipeline.It was previewed by the X Gran Convertible concept at Genesis House in New York City. While the concept debuted at the Seoul Mobility Show in 2025, it is more relevant than ever following the recent granting of U.S. design patents for both the X Gran Convertible and X Gran Coupe. AllCarNews, which was at Genesis House, claims that the grand tourer could arrive within the next two years with around 650 horsepower.Turning It UpThose claimed figures would be noteworthy, given that the U.S.-spec G90 makes 409 horsepower from a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 paired with a 48-volt e-supercharger. Because this grand tourer is reportedly expected to use an updated version of the G90's rear-drive architecture, there's a good chance it could retain a combustion-based powertrain.After all, the new all-electric eMP platform used in the GV90 can deliver performance right out of the box, yet that's not the rumored go-to underpinning. The GV90, which was also pictured alongside the X Gran Convertible concept in New York City, can deliver 657 horsepower, making it the most powerful EV in the Hyundai Motor Group lineup.However, the report said the concept car's interior would likely be replaced with a cabin layout from the upcoming G90 facelift. If so, it would include a redesigned dashboard and newer infotainment technology.AllCarNews/InstagramSwimming Against the TideAgain, this information comes from AllCarNews, and Genesis has not officially confirmed it. The patents also protect only the cars' designs and don't confirm production plans or mechanical details. Still, it suggests that the Korean luxury marque may be willing to invest in a shrinking market segment that's still home to some genuinely exciting cars. Mercedes-Benz dropped the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet after the 2021 model year, while BMW and Lexus are ending the 8 Series and LC 500, respectively, after the 2026 model year.While Genesis' rumored timeline is two years, the attention for now may be on the GV90. It arrives in the U.S. in early 2027 as a unique version called the Neolun, featuring B-pillarless, power-operated coach doors and 180-degree swiveling front seats.AllCarNews/Instagram
