Kia’s GT Concept Gets OK’d

Although the Kia GT Concept car was more of a novelty item a couple of years ago, it seems that a public outcry from consumers wanting the vehicle has changed the mind of the car company.  They have announced production and the New Kia halo car is expected to arrive in the United States in 2017.

This is one of the most futuristic, yet realistic cars you will lay your eyes on.  Most futuristic designs are almost laughable and look more like something you would see in a comic or a space movie.  Looking at this vehicle, you could actually see yourself driving this beauty.  It first turned heads at the 2011 Frankfurt auto show.

Last week in Las Vegas, Kia shared their plans for the rear-wheel drive, mid-luxury car to be equipped with a V-6 engine with their U.S. dealers.  Just like the concept, the production version will be a four door fastback and like the upmarket Kia K900 luxury sedan, it is intended to attract new buyers to the brand with its futuristic design and upscale features.

The GT concept that was introduced in 2011 featured rear hinged suicide doors, but that feature is not expected to make it into a production version of the vehicle.  As of right now, the concept does not have a name but you can be sure they are working on coming out with one that will be identifiable with Luxury.
