G70 N? (Spyshot)

[Backslack]

Spotted on the back of a truck with other Hyundai test vehicles. Aside from being in the N color scheme the fenders are noticeably wider. But I'm not sure why it's a pre-facelift model. People on Korean boards are speculating that it isn't the G70 but a test mule disguised as a G70.

이건 뭐죠? 정체 모를 제네시스 G70 와이드보디 테스트 뮬

제네시스 G70인데 보통의 그것과는 차이가 큽니다우선 컬러가 고성능 N과 비슷한 하늘빛이고그보다는 좌우 휀더가 평범한 G70이라 보기에는 너무 과합니다따라서 조금 특별한 차량 같은데,어느 것도 확실한 정보…

Interesting... a lot of the comments are saying it was likely an event car but really there's no definite answer for this.

I'm pretty sure Genesis would not have any interest in launching a N sub-brand with current speculation that Biermann will be let go this week:

Would they really let those two go or change/elevate their roles? I mean, they set the new course of the company! Large payout??

To be fair, Bierrmann is 64 and Schreyer is 68. They're both at retirement age. Schreyer in particular already relegated all his design roles to Luc Donckerwolke and Sangyup Lee, so he doesn't have much left to do.

I'm more skeptical about Bierrmann resigning since he's still showing up and promoting much of Hyundai's recent vehicles, and it sounds like he has long-term plans.
