Genesis G70 Shooting Brake Flies Up The Goodwood Hillclimb Chased By A Drone

The Genesis G70 Shooting Brake made its European debut this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and to celebrate the event Genesis produced a one-take video of it climbing up the hill.

Shot using a 5″ FPV drone piloted by Miles Mulvagh and Harry Clifton, the drone starts by flying through a window and into the Goodwood House’s grand Egyptian Dining Room where the Duke of Richmond is enjoying some tea. It then flies out the window again and follows the G70 Shooting Brake up the 1,890-meter (6,200 ft) Goodwood Hill Climb course, reaching speeds of up to 60 mph.

As a finale, the drone flies into the G70 Shooting Brake’s trunk through its hatch, which opens automatically. The well-choreographed shot was achieved with the help of former British F2 rally champion Gethin Jones who was driving the car.

“We are thrilled to be here at Goodwood today to reveal this pivotal model for Genesis, our fifth car in the region,” said Dominique Boesch, Genesis Motors Europe managing director. “The iconic British festival, watched by millions, is the perfect destination to unveil our bespoke product tailored for European customers.”

Based on the new Genesis G70, the Shooting Brake adds 40% more luggage space and 40:20:40 folding rear seats. Buyers will be able to choose between a 2.2-liter diesel making 199 HP (201 PS/148 kW) and a 249 HP (252 PS/185 kW) 2.0-liter turbo-four, but rumors suggest that it will not get the company’s 365 HP (370 PS/272 kW) twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6.

Sales of the G70 Shooting Brake will start later this year in Germany, the UK, and Switzerland. Americans will, unfortunately, be missing out as it won’t be imported in the U.S.
