The Genesis G8MR is a twin-turbocharged, four-stroke, 3.2-litre V8 racing engine built by Hyundai Motorsport for the Genesis GMR-001 LMDh prototype, which began racing in 2026. Work on the engine started in June 2024, and its basic architecture was taken from the 1.6-litre inline-four used in the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 rally car, with roughly 60 percent of its parts shared. Under the LMDh rules the combustion engine is connected to standardised hybrid drivetrain components: a motor generator unit from Bosch, a battery pack from Williams Advanced Engineering, and an Xtrac P1359 gearbox. The engine is a purpose-built motorsport unit rather than a road-car engine.
