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.

Spoiler!

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

Wow that car looks great!!! Waaaaay better than the genesis coupe.

315hp rwd kia with 6speed and brembos? damnnn

i quite like the rear end of it, minimalistic design awwww yea
the way the bonnet is so low and the front arches bulge up but not out is weird to me tho

car looks fucking retarded.

Love it. I'll take it in white

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

I do not see one thing "genesis coupe" about this car.

I'm so glad it's RWD...looks neat!

Don't understand the positive comments. The car looks absolutely atrocious.

You can't understand people have different opinions??

Love the look f the car but I need another car like I need a hole in the head.

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 :fullofwin:

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.

Escalade-ish headlight :D I like the exhaust portion, R8-ish

is this supposed to be a new forte koup tho?

I do, but the lack of taste in some people just amazes me.

Looks like that ugly thing Pontiac solstice or a saturn
