Kia Koup

A new addition in Kia’s yard at the International Auto Show in New York is Kia KOUP. As the name says this is a coupe with very aggressive lines. The exterior design is very attractive with a great panoramic glass roof that extends down the rear, but I will let you be the judge of it.From the info I have there’s no certainty Kia KOUP will be produced, but if they do, it will have a twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0L Theta II engine GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) that will output 290hp and 289 lb-ft of torque, a six speed automatic transmission and front wheels drive. Other specs include Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and adaptive front lighting.

Not sure about you, but I really like it. Looks compact and very sporty at the same time. Here are two more pictures:
