Essentia takes its inspiration from iconic Gran Turismo proportions, with a long bonnet and a swept-back cabin. Finished in Stardust Gray Metallic, the carbon fiber-bodied Essentia is positioned low to the ground intentionally, to make it instantly recognizable through a graceful sillhouette.
Introducing the Essentia Concept
Essentia is the brand’s initial concept for a true GT car and challenges the status quo as the ultimate manifestation of Genesis design and engineering.
The side profile of Essentia is dominated by the iconic parabolic line that provides visual structure to the body while also emphasizing its overall length.
The rear of Essentia is defined by an aerodynamic cut-off surface that houses the flush rear Quad Lamps and emphasizes the muscles of the rear haunch.
The front fascia introduces an evolution of the Genesis Crest Grille that highlights efficiency and aerodynamics.
Interior
The underlying design theory behind the cabin of Essentia was to maximize the connection between car and driver. Essentia was designed to be thoroughly connected to the world around it, while providing its occupants a virtual escape.
The interior of Essentia utilizes a mixed-material aproach influenced by high fashion and classic color combinations. Cognac leather seats with chevron quilting envelops the driver and passengers in true cockpit fashion.
Essentia is the brand’s first battery electric vehicle and features a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque, a robust, multi-monitor electric powertrain, and a custom-tailored interior.
