With the new partnership, participants in the Manufacturer Series will now be able to race Genesis vehicles in competition. Two new vehicles have been designed by Genesis specifically for online play – the Genesis X GR3 and Genesis G70 GR4.

The more realistic Genesis G70 sedan is the third car which is now included in the game, and unlike the previous two, it's more closely rooted to a real world example.
