Genesis G70 Track Day Special Could Rival BMW M3 CS.
Genesis dressed up the sharp G70 Track Taxi Nordschleife for this concept that, unfortunately, won't make it into production.
Genesis has unveiled a special version of the G70, featuring track-focused upgrades.
The custom bodykit includes a large rear wing, and is combined with a racing livery.
The sedan borrows the revised suspension from the G70 Track Taxi Nordschleife.
The Genesis G70 is a direct rival to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but it never got a performance-focused version to challenge its rivals’ M- and AMG-branded models. The Magma division could change that in the future, but for now Genesis has unveiled a track-focused G70 inspired by the Nurburgring.
The G70 Track Day Special Concept is a follow up to the G70 Track Taxi Nordschleife that has been offering rides at the Green Hell since last year. However, it sports an even more aggressive exterior design courtesy of a custom bodykit.
The concept features massive rear wing with swan neck supports, protruding from the tailgate. It also boasts a redesigned front bumper with larger intakes, a splitter, and cannards. Furthermore, the yellow-tinted LED headlights are reminiscent of a race car.
Instead of the Magma Orange shade of the Track Taxi, the concept sports orange graphics on a matte black livery with G70 and Nordschleife lettering. Other cool features include the vented hood, the tow hooks, and the dark-tinted taillights.
The G70 Track Day Special Concept inherits the revised chassis setup of the Track Taxi Nordschleife. This includes a lowered suspension that has been fine-tuned for the Nurburgring and a set of 19-inch alloy wheels shod in performance tires.
Genesis didn’t mention any power upgrades over the Track Taxi. The latter inherits the twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 from the most potent version of the road-going sedan that generates 368 hp (274 kW / 373 PS) and 510 Nm (376 lb-ft) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Unfortunately for sports sedan fans, the Track Day Special Concept was designed as a one off and won’t make it to production. The sportiest G70 yet will make its debut in Canada before embarking on a spring tour to nationwide Genesis distributors.
The Genesis G70 was originally introduced in 2017 and, despite a comprehensive facelift in 2020, it is approaching the end of its lifecycle. According to the latest reports, the brand has decided against a hybrid powertrain, meaning that the next generation of the sedan could be an EV-only affair.

his spring, Genesis Motors Canada is taking its passion for performance to the next level with the country-wide debut of the Genesis G70 Track Day Special Concept. Fresh off its Nürburgring inspiration, this one-off, purpose-built G70 lands in Canada as the ultimate blend of luxury refinement and racetrack prowess—and you won’t need a ticket to Germany’s “Green Hell” to see it in action.
From the moment you lay eyes on the Track Day Special Concept, its prowling stance and aggressive aero tell you everything you need to know. Borrowing the same suspension, wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber as the Genesis Track Taxi Nordschleife (the brand’s high-speed passenger experience at the Nürburgring), this bespoke G70 also adds vented hood panels, bright tow cables front and rear, and a towering rear wing optimized for downforce. Eye-catching “Nordschleife” graphics on the fenders—and that playful, dialed-up livery—pay tribute to its racetrack roots while keeping the look firmly in Genesis’s signature style.
Underneath the skin, the Track Day Special Concept is all-business: 19-inch wheels wrapped in ultra-sticky rubber, beefed-up brakes and a sport-tuned chassis combine to deliver a genuinely uncompromising track experience. It’s a reminder that the production G70—already lauded for its snappy handling, potent twin-turbo powertrains and sumptuous interior—was born from countless Nürburgring test sessions and engineering refinements.
But Genesis isn’t content to let this car languish in a private collection. Beginning May 22 at Genesis Markham, the Track Day Special Concept will tour distributor showrooms across Canada through the rest of 2025, giving enthusiasts from coast to coast a rare chance to see (and perhaps sit in) a G70 that wears its racing pedigree on its sleeve. “Automotive luxury should be synonymous with high-performance capability,” says Eric Marshall, director of Genesis Motors Canada. “We’re excited to show Canadian guests a preview of the next era of Genesis—what’s possible when you fuse elegance and track-ready engineering.”
For those who haven’t yet experienced the Genesis Track Taxi Nordschleife, the program pairs paying guests with a professional driver for a blistering lap around the Nürburgring’s 20.832-kilometre layout, complete with its notorious elevation changes, rapid succession of turns and full-throttle straights. It’s here—the crucible of motorsport ingenuity—that Genesis proves its G70 can keep pace with the very best in the luxury sport sedan segment.
Back in showroom form, the production G70 already offers drivers a choice of a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder or a potent 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6, married to an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. Inside, you’ll find a driver-focused cockpit wrapped in premium materials, intuitive tech, and advanced safety aids—all engineered to deliver comfort on the daily commute and confidence when pushed to the limit.
Whether you’re a track-day fanatic or simply appreciate the marriage of artful design and adrenaline-pumping performance, the G70 Track Day Special Concept is a rare sight that truly embodies Genesis’s commitment to emotional luxury. Keep an eye on your local Genesis distributor’s events calendar this spring, because this bespoke machine won’t be in one place for long—and you won’t want to miss it.
