Kia usually makes a concept vehicle not with a full production ambition at hand like MINI, but with the distinct possibility if the public response to something is good enough.
One such project is the GT Concept that made its debut in Frankfurt, which despite not having a really cool name or a hefty price tag managed to get all the underdog lovers to rally to its cause.

According to an Autocar report, Kia will indeed put the four-door coupe into production and it will hit the European market some time in 2013. We believe this is to be Kia’s halo car for coming years, and it can’t bring it to the market fast enough.

As a reminder, the GT Concept is powered by a new 3.3-liter V6 engine that delivers 390 horsepower to the rear wheels. The body is more akin to the Aston Martin Rapide than to four-door coupes like the Passat CC.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
