That's the official description of the Kia GT4 Stinger concept, which has every appearance of being a Kia version of the Genesis coupe. This thing looks awesome and at 315hp with a 4 banger…it may possibly be a really nice car with a fairly decent price tag being a Kia. ![http://content.worldcarfans.co/2014/1/13/big/20968248682133104734.jpg](http://content.worldcarfans.co/2014/1/13/big/20968248682133104734.jpg) ---

You know that moment when you see a concept car and think “this will never look anything like this if it ever goes to production”. Yeah, that is now. ---

Being an Audi designer, it should still hopefully keep a nice body style to it… but doubtful it will keep this true form. > [@maxwell](#): > > We’ll never see this, and if we do it will be watered down and bland.

The looks in the past have brought them more money to put into the company and making a better product. Quality of Kia has definitely gone up since the early 2000’s. I’m sure they are done with cars like the Kia Sofia and the way the Rio used to be. lol ---

I think it’s better than any Nissan concept lately. Simple overfenders or flares will make this car look awesome. Very interesting. ---

I know a lot of concepts like this get squashed in the US because of head light height requirements and other safety standards. I’m curious if that will be the case with these head lights. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > I know a lot of concepts like this get squashed in the US because of head light height requirements and other safety standards. > > I’m curious if that will be the case with these head lights. Wonder if they’d be able to pass that by making the very top the Head light and the bottom more of a fog light. Not sure if its the whole housing that they fail or where the main light is placed in the housing. ---

It looks like someone born with no eyes…if they were a car. I also thought Das Germans were working on LED lighting to function as headlights and not just “accent” lights ---
