Genesis has taken its reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance road cars and turned it into a full-fledged off-road assault. The X Skorpio is the latest example of this, a V8-powered coupe designed to tackle the toughest terrain. This is not an electric vehicle, but a gas-guzzler with a 1,100-horsepower V8 and 850 pound-feet of torque. The X Skorpio's design is a mix of coupe-like proportions and chunky off-road conquering tires. The 18-inch beadlock wheels are custom-built to accommodate 40-inch tires, which are hidden behind Brembo Motorsport brakes.

Genesis has taken its reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance road cars and turned it into a full-fledged off-road assault. The X Skorpio is the latest example of this, a V8-powered coupe designed to tackle the toughest terrain. This is not an electric vehicle, but a gas-guzzler with a 1,100-horsepower V8 and 850 pound-feet of torque.
The X Skorpio’s design is a mix of coupe-like proportions and chunky off-road conquering tires. The 18-inch beadlock wheels are custom-built to accommodate 40-inch tires, which are hidden behind Brembo Motorsport brakes. The suspension has been specially tuned and lifted to handle jumps and other off-road challenges.
While details about the X Skorpio’s interior and features are scarce, the focus is clear: this is an off-road machine designed to take on the toughest terrain. The V8 engine is a modified version of the one used in Genesis’s Le Mans race car and the X Gran Berlinetta concept.
Genesis has confirmed that the X Skorpio will be sold to customers, making it a rare example of a manufacturer that still builds gas-powered off-road vehicles. The X Skorpio is a serious off-road contender, with a big V8 engine and a design that’s both functional and stylish.
