Kia GT4 Stinger concept

Jalopnik.com - Kia GT4 Stinger Concept: The Kia Genesis Coupe 'Coming Now'


Quote:
"It's not coming soon, it's coming now." That's the official description of the Kia GT4 Stinger concept, which has every appearance of being a Kia version of the Genesis coupe.


It's the Kia GT4 Stinger concept car. As World Car Fans reports, the engine is a 315 horsepower 2.0-liter T-GDI four cylinder. The brakes are two piece cross-drilled Brembos with four-piston calipers. And finally, praise be, there's a six speed manual transmission.


It's basically all you would want of a 2+2 sporty coupe. The styling is clean and modern. The engine is high tech. The power goes to the rear wheels. This is all part of the basic sports coupe formula seen in everything from the Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 to the Vauxhall Prince Henry.


What's interesting is the platform. There's only one way that Kia could develop a 2+2 rear-drive sports car, and that's by reworking the Genesis coupe (here's the next one) by their partner Hyundai. That's what Kia's already done with the Kia K900 and the Hyundai Genesis sedan.

I know its concept and will probably look different when it's a production model, IMO the Genesis coupe looks a lot better than this

Looks like a Camaro, a Tc and a Genesis Coupe had a threesome and made that thing.

sorry but this car just looks like ass as is. the lights, the rear bumper, then hood, the trunk, the WHEELS, the doors (wtf is that black area under the doors?).

i'm sure the futuristic styling will be toned down for production but still.. even that color is ugly as sin. the kia optima looks way better than this (still not a fan of those gaudy side vents though)

^ I'm pretty sure they'll tone it down, but its cool to see something that looks different. Love the interior and it'll be neat watching this car go sideways

Big FAIL IMO. The concept will be so far from the production model that it will only serve as a marketing ploy to get more interest in KIA as a brand.
