The new Kia concept car officially unveiled last night in Frankfurt. And it’s simply called the GT.

The GT in may ways is a first for Kia. It is their first rear-wheel-drive car, and the first sporty four-door. Kia says this car allows them to explore exciting new design directions.

This focus of dynamism and pace is sharpened by the car’s aeronautical theme, headlined by the multi-piece propeller-style alloy and carbon-fibre wheels, the jet-themed rear-view cameras, the low-slung front air intake, the aerodynamically efficient rear diffuser and the winglets that curve in from the front flanks and flow into the headlamps.

Although some of the design cues from the GT will be used in upcoming production models, but most of it is just for the sake of show, stuff like suicide doors, glass instrument panel, LEDs on the dashboard and floating single-piece seats.

Apart from the design, the GT also features a 400 hp V6 engine mated to an 8-speed transmission. Kia is really shifting toward making sportier cars!
