Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Como, Italy, May 25, 2018 – This weekend the #genesis #essentia #concept will make its summer 2018 concours debut at the #concorsodeleganzavilladeste. The car will take part in the concours parade on Saturday, May 26th as well as the celebration at Villa Erba on Sunday, May 27th.

The all-electric, high-performance coupe will compete for the “Design Award for #concept Cars and Prototypes,” a public referendum-based contest.

“With this project, we set-out to create an object of desire, passion, and inspiration,” said Manfred Fitzgerald, Global Head of the #genesis Brand. “That is why we were so proud to accept the invitation to share the #essentia with the public during our first appearance at the #concorsodeleganzavilladeste.”

The #essentia #concept, unveiled in March at the New York International #auto Show, elevates and reimagines Genesis’s “Athletic Elegance” #design paradigm while providing a vision of future product performance and technology.

“The #genesis #essentia #concept defines our vision for an electric GT (Gran Turismo) that integrates Athletic Elegance and #genesis DNA as defining parameters,” said Executive Vice President Luc Donckerwolke, Head of #genesis #design. “In fact, its GT typology was inspired by some of the vintage cars which it will be seen with this weekend.”

Essentia is the brand’s first battery electric vehicle and features a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque, multi-motor electric powertrain, and a custom-tailored interior. #essentia is also the brand’s initial vision for a true GT car. With an estimated 0-to-60 time of 3.0 seconds, #essentia brings sports car-level performance to the realm of electric luxury coupes.
