A one-off Genesis GV80 Black for 2025 champion Lee Jeong Hwan

Genesis turns the GV80 Black into a bespoke trophy for Genesis Championship 2025 winner Lee Jeong Hwan, with blacked-out design, Nappa leather, and engravings

Genesis chose an unconventional way to celebrate a home‑turf victory. Instead of a formal gift, the brand created a unique GV80 Black for Genesis Championship 2025 winner Lee Jeong Hwan, turning the flagship SUV into a personal trophy — a gesture that says more about character than raw numbers.

The darkest GV80 as the starting point

The GV80 Black was selected as the foundation — the model’s most dramatic specification. Its exterior is completely blacked out: the grille, moldings, emblems, lighting elements, and even the radar cover are finished in glossy black. The look is completed by 20-inch wheels and a minimalist rear badge, giving the shape a calm, deliberate presence rather than a showy one.

An interior that records the win

The real treasure is inside. A metal plaque on the armrest marks the year of the victory, the owner’s initials, the tournament symbol, and the final tally — 11 strokes. The headrests are upholstered in black Nappa leather with embroidery featuring the Genesis logo, the date, and the champion’s initials. Even the door sills carry bespoke engravings, turning every entry into a quiet reminder of the title — the kind of personalization that resonates more than any extra option code.
