Key executives gather in Munich
During IAA Mobility 2025, Genesis is welcoming key executives to its Munich Studio, including recently appointed Managing Director for Genesis Motor Europe, Peter Kronschnabl.
He commented, “We’re delighted to invite show visitors to our Studio in Munich and offer test drives of our all-electric range at this year’s IAA Mobility. The debut of the enhanced GV60, GV60 Magma Concept and GMR-001 Hypercar in Germany reinforces our position as a design-driven performance brand, as well as offering a glimpse into an exciting new chapter of growth for Genesis. This begins with the global reveal of our first high-performance production model, GV60 Magma, which will take place in Europe later this year and closely followed by expansion into four additional European markets early next year.”
Christina Herzog, recently appointed Brand Director at Genesis Motor Deutschland, attended the IAA media day and offered insights on the brand’s position in Germany. Tyrone Johnson, Managing Director at Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center, also gave insights into GV60 Magma and the brand’s vision for its new series of high-performance cars, alongside Brand Partner Jacky Ickx, at Genesis Studio Munich.
Genesis Magma Racing Testing
As part of the brand’s executive presence at IAA, Cyril Abiteboul, Team Principal of Genesis Magma Racing, came straight from testing of the GMR-001 Hypercar Circuit Paul Ricard, France.
During five days of testing the team completed over 500 laps with drivers André Lotterer and Luis ‘Pipo’ Derani at the helm of the car. Commenting on the progress made by the team in recent weeks, Cyril said: “We continue to work at the traditional Genesis hyper speed in preparation for our FIA World Endurance Championship debut next year. We have hit numerous key milestones in recent weeks exactly as planned at the start of the year. As we approach the first race of the 2026 season in Qatar there is still a long road ahead, but we will continue to push ourselves to bring the team as much success as possible on the track.”
