Kia Forte Coupe spied in Korea
09 Mar 2009|8,867 views
Bearing much resemblance to the Kia KOUP concept car which was unveiled last year at the New York Auto Show, the camouflaged 2010 Kia Forte Coupe has been spied making its rounds in Korea.
It doesn't sport the sleek carbon fibre wing mirrors, but at least the five-spoke sports rims look like they will be retained. The bonnet line is also wider and lower on the camouflaged car compared to the KOUP concept.
Pillar-less doors are still in place, as well as its rear diffuser. Exhaust tips on the prototype model, however, are different from the concept's layout.
Expected to arrive in Korean markets in the third quarter this year, the Forte Coupe is rumoured to be available with a range of inline-four petrol engines. Highly possible will be the 156 hp 2.0-litre and the 173 2.4-litre units, while a turbocharged 1.6-litre block with 175 hp is rumoured to make its way into the new Forte Coupe.
