Remember the Genesis X Speedium Coupe Concept that was part-shooting brake, part-sportback from a little over a year ago? Well, it’s back, and it’s wearing a new coat of white paint and outfitted for winter.
In a bit of a surprise, Genesis posted photos of what it’s calling the Genesis X Snow Speedium Concept on its socials this week, and it’s arguably just as stunning as when we first saw it at the N.Y. Auto Show
. Yeah, we’re a little sad to see the gorgeous Inje Green paint go, but it’s hard to argue against this seasonal decor. The changes Genesis made to transform it into the X Snow Speedium go beyond the
color
, too. You’ll notice the lower side air intakes on the front bumper have LED fog lights installed for better vision through the snow. It has a new set of boots in the form of subtler wheels and what we’ll presume are
winter tires . The calipers hiding within are black instead of the showy lime green seen on the debut car. And then on the roof, it’s sporting a rack that appears to integrate a taillight of sorts as a bar across the rear. Of course, a couple sets of skis can be seen secured to said
roof rack
.
Most of the rear is business as usual, though we will point out that Genesis has painted, in body color, sections of the rear valance/diffuser area that were finished in black before. Overall, it looks like an intriguing new interpretation of the Speedium Coupe. Rumblings of possible production versions
