Kia may not be best known for its flashy designs and innovative concepts, but the company's display at the Frankfurt Auto Show might change some minds. Kia unveiled a GT concept car that features real-drive and an uncharacteristically sleek design, USA Today reports.
The car was revealed by Kia's design chief Peter Schreyer, and he hinted that the design may be a sign of things to come for the manufacturer. The vehicle is surprisingly high-powered as well, with 390 horsepower coming from a 3.3-liter turbo V-6.
"No matter from which perspective you look at the Kia GT, it is roaring with energy and ready for take-off," Shreyer said, according to the publication. "I believe this concept car is a strong statement from Kia that we are ready to fast-forward to an all-new chapter."
Kia also unveiled a new three door version of its popular Rio. The so-called supercompact is a downsize from four and five door Rio models that the company currently offers.
While it may not be the most sporty car on the road, Kia has made a name for itself by being affordable and reliable. Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of a Kia should check out New Jersey Auto Auction.
