As for the Genesis X Speedium Coupe concept, the company says that the name was inspired by the Korean racetrack in the city of Inje and the passion for motorsport it inspired in Genesis designers. The car follows the principle of reductive design, or "less is more," for the concept car. The concept's metallic emerald green shade is referred to as "Inje Green."
