Kia Motors Corporation has released a second Sports Coupe Concept of the car it will unveil for the first time at the Frankfurt International Motor Show on 11 September. The svelte Sports Coupe Concept reveals classic lines coupled with a lengthened cabin design that can accommodate four adults in comfort. It is designed in Europe, under the guidance of Kia’s Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer. The all-new 2+2 Sports Coupe Concept, whose name remains a secret at present, will demonstrate an uncluttered, pure and timeless execution and represents a new design ethos for the Korean automotive company.
Kia says the car “will demonstrate an uncluttered, pure and timeless execution and represents a new design ethos” for the brand. Set to be unveiled at IAA 2007, the yet unnamed Kia sports coupe will measure 4.3 meters long. As far as we can tell, this vehicle is different than the upcoming RWD Tiburon successor, but there’s a distinct possibility that the two cars should share a few components, like the drive train and V6 engine.
