Le New-York auto show nous fait decouvrir plein de modèles et de concept car (ya un concept scion vraiment horrible!). Kia vient de me surprendre avec un beau modele de coupe sport... y parle de competitionner la civic coupe. C'est vrai que depuis la disparition de la Celica ya comme un vide dans cette categorie
http://www.thetorquereport.com/2008/03/ ... 0_hor.htmlKia has unveiled the KOUP Concept this morning at the New York Auto Show.
Unlike Kia's sister brand, Hyundai with its new RWD Genesis Coupe, the KOUP is a front-wheel-drive concept that is aimed at the Honda Civic and Scion tC. The KOUP features a direct injection turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that puts out 290 hp and 289 lb-ft of torque.
To add to the appeal of the concept the KOUP features carbon fiber enhancements throughout the exterior of the car in addition to the Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors. Inside the KOUP features an eight speaker audio system, a Bluetooth-enabled navigation system, push button start system, and a six-speed automatic transmission with steering column-mounted paddle shifters.
There is no word yet on if this car is actually going to make it into showrooms, but I can't help notice how much the front end looks like the current Honda Civic Si. What do you think?
