The 2004 EDAG GenX Concept was a visionary concept car introduced by EDAG at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. This show car was designed to showcase EDAG’s ability as an innovative development partner in vehicle design, demonstrating cutting-edge ideas that anticipated the evolving lifestyles of modern consumers. Targeted at individuals who blur the lines between work and leisure, the GenX aimed to embody a new level of flexibility and mobility for a nomadic, on-the-go lifestyle.
The GenX was a two-seater sports car that uniquely offered a full-size bed for the driver, reflecting its forward-thinking approach to merging comfort with functionality. This feature was made possible by an electric lift roof that expanded the interior space. The design also incorporated removable modular storage boxes fitted into the car’s slender waistline. These boxes, which could be used as suitcases or customized for various needs like office, sports, or camping packs, highlighted EDAG’s vision of adaptability and personalization in automotive design.
The GenX's design emphasized a sleek, low silhouette and a wide stance, exuding a powerful, confident aesthetic inspired by Formula 1. It had a distinctive “slender waist,” which added to its unique profile and sporty appeal. With 20-inch wheels, level regulators, and all-wheel drive, the GenX was engineered for both on-road performance and off-road versatility.
In terms of dimensions, the GenX measured 4,466 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 1,230 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,080 mm. This concept reflected EDAG’s intent to blend innovation with the flexibility required for a range of modern activities, whether for work or play.
