Presented at the Detroit Motor Show 2014, the Kia GT4 Stinger Concept features a 2.0-liter turbocharged direct injection four-cylinder engine delivering an impressive 315 hp. Mated to this powertrain is a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. A sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in five seconds or less. Designed at Kia’s studio in Irvine, California, the concept rides on stunning 20-inch wheel with carbon fiber accents. Unique vertical LED headlights, a sharply angled roof somewhat reminiscent of the Nissan GT-R’s, as well as a futuristic rear-end and Ignition Yellow paint. The large glass hatch at the rear opens up and hides a built-in storage area as well as a rear strut-tower brace. Inside, the Kia GT4 Stinger Concept includes billet-aluminium door handles with lightweight doors and moulded leather racing seats. It also features billet-aluminium pedals, a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, LED-illuminated instrument panel with a prominent tachometer. In keeping with the driver focused design of the GT4 Stinger Concept, it doesn’t feature an audio system. (gtspirit.com)
