Need rescuing? Here’s a modified Genesis GV60 concept on snow tracks

This 'Mountain Intervention Vehicle' will get you out of a tight spot

Published: 24 Jan 2025

Thinking about an ambitious climb up your local park’s mound? Should you get stuck on your summit attempt, you better hope the distress call is picked up by this tricked-out Genesis GV60 concept. 

The purpose-built ‘Mountain Intervention Vehicle’ - that purpose being to intervene on mountains - gets meaty snow tracks beneath wider carbon fibre arches, and black-coloured cladding to form part of a new all-round body kit.

Other upgrades include a large spot lamp that channels the power of a dozen suns and a custom heavy-duty roof rack that can hold many things. Many more things can also be stored on the hatch rack, which features mounting points for various bits of rescue equipment. Should work just as well on Mission Local Mound then.

No mention of any powertrain changes, so we’re guessing this one gets the 483bhp dual-motor setup and 77.4kWh battery from the range-topper. The four-second 0-62mph sprint and 321 miles of range will probably both take a hit, mind.

Genesis of course has previewed several concepts over the last few years, including its trio of X cars and the Berlinetta Vision. Sadly this one has just as much chance of going into production – i.e. none at all. Best seek alternative arrangements before the big five-minute hike.
