Genesis Motors Canada has unveiled in Canada the Genesis G70 Track Day Special Concept, a one-off project vehicle that embodies the brand’s passion for high-performance driving and refined luxury. The G70 Track Day Special Concept symbolizes one of the many emotionalizing steps Genesis is taking as a brand.

Making its world premiere in Canada this spring, this one-of-a-kind project vehicle builds upon the thrilling foundation of the Genesis Track Taxi Nordschleife, a dedicated performance experience that lets passengers feel the full potential of the Genesis G70 on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. It also pays homage to the production version of the Genesis G70, a dynamic sport sedan rigorously engineered and fine-tuned on the legendary Nürburgring.

The project vehicle has been designed to mirror the low, sporty stance of the G70 Track Taxi. The G70 Track Day Special Concept features the same suspension setup, wheels, and tires as the G70 Track Taxi, along with extra body enhancements like hood air vents as well as front and rear tow cables, giving it an unmistakably sporty appearance. Its striking rear wing also allows for optimal aerodynamics. It also includes “Nordschleife” graphics on the front fenders and on the rear.

Equipped with 19’’ Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and designed to deliver an uncompromising track experience, the G70 Track Day Special Concept enhances the dynamic capabilities of the award-winning Genesis G70 sport sedan. Its design represents a fresh interpretation of the G70 Track Taxi Nordschleife, designed to conquer the infamous “Green Hell.” Its livery adopts a bold new look that stays true to the original concept while incorporating a playful twist and maintaining visual harmony with the original orange-coloured G70 Track Taxi.

Canadian Tour
The global debut of a project vehicle is a rare event in Canada. To ensure that as many people as possible can experience this one-of-a-kind G70, Genesis Motors Canada collaborated with its network of distributors to organize multiple presentations of the G70 Track Day Special Concept at various locations across the country.

“Automotive luxury should be synonymous with high performance capability,” says Eric Marshall, director of Genesis Motors Canada. “We are looking forward to showing our honoured guests in Canada a new side of our brand. We’ve been preparing for this next evolution of Genesis around the world, and on some of the most challenging tracks, notably the Nürburgring. Now it’s time to show Canadian guests and our Distributors a preview of the next era of Genesis through the G70 Track Day Special Concept – an exploration of what is possible when it comes to high performance motoring, the Genesis way.”

The journey will initiate on May 22nd at Genesis Markham and subsequently extend to various Genesis distributors across Canada during the remainder of 2025.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
