Genesis has released a new electric sports car prototype, and it’s
stunning. the Essentia concept is the brand’s first battery electric
vehicle complete with a custom interior, lightweight carbon fiber frame
and robust multi-motor powertrain.
The car was revealed at the 2018 New
York International Auto Show and is an exciting statement for the Korean
car manufacturer. the company prides itself on their newest car’s
elegance and serenity; however, as beautiful as the car is, this notion
might change with a ride outside the Javits convention center at rush
hour. the car sources inspiration from the classic grand tourers of the
1960s, with Gran Turismo proportions, a long bonnet and swept-back cabin
— all while updating the style for modern tastes.
The exterior of this genesis vehicle is no doubt stunning — with
seamless LED lights and elegant curves — but the interior of essentia
utilizes a mixed-material approach influenced by high fashion to achieve
the feeling of a cockpit. genesis describes it as ‘a slim center
console covered in oxford blue leather bisects the cabin. the front and
rear seat belt slots are out of the ordinary, as well, composed of glass
pearl finished/treated aluminium and polished aluminium. layered carbon
fiber décor adds a sporty and technical element to the interior
details, with a 3d optical effect achieved through the latest technology
of layering individual pieces of carbon.’ this car is no doubt an
exciting new direction for the brand.
