Kia Koup Concept at SEMA 2008

Kia Koup Concept

Kia showed off their new Koup Concept at SEMA this year. Unveiled at the NY Auto Show earlier this year, Kia is gauging reactions to see if they should put something like this into production.

This “hip” new Kia sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine pushing out 290 horsepower, moving through an AWD drivetrain and a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. 19-inch carbon fiber wheels, LED lights, and other carbon fiber trimmed parts round out the exterior, while a very modern interior with Ultrasuede seats and an eight-speaker audio system finish the interior. Most of this won’t go into production, of course. The carbon fiber will be gone, the fancy interior materials will be replaced with plastic, and the engine will likely be de-tuned.
