Genesis unveils a modified GV60 concept with snow tracks, carbon-fiber body kit, and rescue features designed for extreme mountain rescue missions.
Genesis GV60 ‘Mountain Intervention Vehicle’: Snow Tracks and Rescue-Ready Upgrades
If you’re planning an adventurous climb and find yourself in need of rescue, you might want to hope that help arrives in the form of the modified Genesis GV60, known as the “Mountain Intervention Vehicle.” This specially adapted concept is designed to tackle tough terrain, featuring snow tracks, a custom body kit, and heavy-duty modifications ideal for mountain rescues.
The GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle is equipped with robust snow tracks instead of traditional wheels, supported by wider carbon fiber arches and black cladding to complete the rugged look. This combination of modifications ensures the vehicle can navigate even the most challenging snow-covered landscapes, making it perfect for a rescue operation in the mountains.
In addition to its snow tracks, the vehicle includes a powerful spot lamp capable of lighting up the night like “a dozen suns” and a heavy-duty roof rack designed to carry all sorts of essential gear. The rear hatch is also fitted with mounting points to store rescue equipment, making it even more capable in emergency situations.
While no details were provided regarding any changes to the vehicle’s powertrain, it’s safe to assume the concept features the same dual-motor, 483-horsepower setup and a 77.4kWh battery from the higher-end Genesis GV60. This configuration allows the GV60 to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just four seconds, and offers a range of around 321 miles—though performance in extreme conditions like snow may reduce both speed and range.
Genesis has previously showcased a variety of concept vehicles, such as the futuristic X cars and the Berlinetta Vision, but this Mountain Intervention Vehicle is unlikely to reach production. While the concept is an exciting glimpse into Genesis’s creative direction, the chances of it becoming a production model remain slim. For now, it’s probably best to find an alternative solution before your next mountain trek.
