Kia GT Photo Leaks, Teased on the Track
Kia plans to roll out its new sports sedan in early January and a photo of the car showing its side profile has leaked online.
Courtesy of Kia-World.net, the photo above shows the new GT from the side, giving away most of its syling cues. Kia is also officially teasing the car with a new video showing it testing at the Nürburgring, hitting a top speed of 151 mph (244 km/h).
The car will debut at the Detroit Motor Show on January 8, as the first sports sedan to ever come from the brand.
Under the hood, a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 could be used as the high-performance option while a smaller 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder is expected to serve as the base engine. A naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V6 could also find its way into this car.
