Kia even supplied dimensions for the GT more evidence of an imminent if not already lit green light, quoting a wheelbase of 112.6 inches, which is three inches shy of the Hyundai Genesis sedan’s and 1.6 greater than the Genesis Coupe’s. In other words, it’s doable with the company’s current rear-drive parts.The stunning new Kia GT concept will reach production in 2013, and the Korean brand is also planning a high-performance version of the Kia.
The V6-powered Kia GT, shown as a concept car at the Frankfurt motor show today, will be built after the manufacturer’s current range of six mass-market models have all been overhauled.Powering the concept version of the Kia GT is a 3.3-litre turbocharged petrol V6 engine - not a V8 unit as previously thought - which produces 390bhp and 394lb ft of torque. Drive is transferred through the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
