Luxury vehicle maker Genesis has unveiled a brand new concept coupe which immediately stands out in a visual sense due to the fact that it features a streak of lighting that goes around much of its body, enhancing the vehicle's streamlined aesthetic and showcasing its sporty credentials.
The 'GV80' concept coupe features an inimitably speedy aesthetic due to the fact that it features uniquely recognizable quad-line headlamps, a pair of taillight strips and the bold addition of a pair of illuminated lines behind the front wheels.
As far as the interior is concerned, this concept coupe makes use of carbon-reinforced bucket-style seats, with the upholstery featuring leather and suede enhanced with orange bursts and carbon fiber.
According to chief creative officer Luc Donckerwolfe, the advent of the 'GV80' aims to represent an evolution from 'lifestyle-oriented' vehicles of years past. "Now we are pushing the envelope with more emotional cars that elevate Genesis’ performance and dynamic attributes," said Donckerwolfe.
