According to Kearns, the two areas that are a lot of likely to modification are the radical LED light stack as well as the ingenious see with A-pillars.
“The spaces in the A-pillars aren’t symmetrical so it works well from the motorist as well as traveler seat,” he said. “Pillars are getting bigger as well as bigger by demand – it’s a huge problem, so we looked for a solution.”
When questioned about a prospective cost for the GT4 Stinger, Kearns said: “We’re checking out the Scion [Toyota GT-86] as well as [Subaru BRZ], as well as even the Mazda MX-5 – true enthusiast, budget-friendly cars. Pricing has to be fitting for a Kia – it’s a value brand”
The GT4 Stinger idea sits on a rear-wheel drive platform as well as features a 311bhp turbocharged version of Kia’s 2.0-litre petrol engine. If it makes production, it’s likely to utilize a platform from within the Hyundai/Kia group, potentially from the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
Kearns likewise stated that he really hoped the shape wouldn’t modification as well much: “I’d like it to be like this,” he said. “It looks stylish as well as muscular without appearing like an upset transformer. We have a new version of our signature grille – a deal with with a simplicity of design”
And, according to Kearns, other versions might be on the cards: “I’d be fine with a convertible version. What do you think?”
