The one-off Genesis G90 ‘Wingback’ is something of an anti-SUV statement

Genesis has revealed a few more design details and images of its extremely delectable Genesis G90 Wingback concept, and the primary thing you need to take away from its reappearance is thus: It very cool, and it need building immediate.

It’s the work of our good friend Luc Donckerwolke and his creative team, to act as a “bridge between Magma and the One of One bespoke program.” Magma is Genesis’s performance arm (“more than a color,” apparently), while bespoke is...well, bespoke.

So, this is purely a one-off performance wagon, but there’s real intent behind it. It’s based on an unmodified G90 platform—a big, long luxury sedan—and thus features a version of its 3.5-liter V6 powerplant that in the production car comes in 375hp and 410hp guises.

Upon this powerful base, Genesis has bequeathed a tweaked version of its signature design cues and language. Witness the new front bumper, flared arches for better stance, 22-inch custom alloys, a stretched roof with fins, and of course, a ‘sharply raked’ rear end that offers a new diffuser and a pair of spoilers. Because why have one when you can have two.

Genesis has covered it in a lovely green hue and filled the interior with a suede-like material called ‘Chamude,’ bespoke stitching, sports seats, and embroidered Magma logos.

Like we said, there’s real intent behind it. “At the moment, there is, let’s say, a multiplication of SUVs,” said Donckerwolke. “And this fast growth will create a saturation. This is when other typologies of cars are going to become attractive again.

“This is why I strongly believe in not having a typology monoculture.” Which, in layman’s terms, is simply: Bring back the fast estate.
