The Genesis GMR-001 is a sports prototype developed by Genesis and the French chassis maker Oreca to compete under the LMDh regulations. Hyundai announced the programme in September 2024 under its Genesis luxury brand, with Oreca as chassis supplier, and Genesis Motor unveiled the car at a launch event in Dubai in December 2024. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul confirmed that it would use a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a hybrid system. The car completed its first shakedown test at Circuit Paul Ricard in August 2025 and a 32-hour endurance test at Algarve in September 2025. It made its debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship in the Hypercar category at the 2026 6 Hours of Imola, and is due to enter the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the GTP category from 2027.
