Kia has released another video teasing its upcoming GT sports sedan.

The Kia GT will make the run to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.1 seconds, though details on what is providing the power remains a mystery. The most likely candidate for the new GT is the twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 found in the Genesis G80 where it makes 356 horsepower, a number that will probably be cranked up for this car.

A previous teaser video revealed the car’s top speed, pegged at 151 mph (244 km/h), achieved during a run on the Nurburgring. A photo has also been uncovered of the GT which shows the car from the side.

While there are still plenty of mysteries about the new Kia sports sedan, and assuredly plenty of teasers to come, we will know all when the car is revealed on January 8 at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
