    311 bhp, RWD, Bonkers.

    Not gone on hate (just noticed the a-pillars) the front, but not a bad effort.

    Looks like a "car from the future" drawn by some design guy in the 50's!

    With that bhp, you can say goodbye to a 7 year warranty and hello 3 year warranty!

    I don't know why but I think it looks a bit like a Cadillac sports concept of late meets a new Corvette.

    There are some nice features in the design, but the rear is too round and the front head lights are in the wrong place, also that A pillar with the strips looks stupid. Other than that it looks like a good car and if it is priced right then happy days.

    A seriously good looking car IMO, hope they build it. Headlights won't make a series production run as they're too low down and too easily damaged in small knocks. A-pillar is not my thing but could be made an option. Some really nice details on the inside as well.

    With 155 BHP per litre you'd be doing well at that! :D

    I just really hope they make this, then at least there would be one Kia that would be interesting :).

    Such a shame that the front is awful looking and somewhat like a slot loading disk drive. Extremely promising otherwise!

    Looks promising. If the keep the general body lines then I think the production model will be a quite a nice looking car. I agree about the lights. :)

    The flared arches at the front look odd on a relatively flat bonnet, needs some shape there.

    I like it. Not a whole heap but I admire the concept and how they're trying to shake it up. I agree that at the front it looks a bit weird with the flat bonned and massively flared arches.

    Speaking of shaking it up...at 1.3 tonnes that's 272bhp per tonne :eek:

    For comparison:

    E92 M3 is 420bhp @ 1,680kg = 250bhp/tonne
    Audi RS4 (B8) is 450bhp @ 1,750kg = 250bhp/tonne
    F10 M5 is 560bhp @ 1,950kg = 288bhp/tonne
    F80 M3 is 430bhp @ ~1,500kg = 286bhp/tonne

    It will be an absolute rocket. If they get the handling and all the rest of the balancing right this could definitely make my list of things I'd love to drive/own :D
