2011 Kia GT Concept

Highly effective, powerful and forward-looking, Kia GT idea car alerts the organization's unique new design route. This four-door sports automobile with a rear-wheel generate structure - a Kia first - marries smooth and muscle ratios with a innovative and stylish four-seater seat.

Although work on the Kia GT idea first started in Nov 2010, the idea of an excellent rear-wheel generate Kia saloon had been percolating in the thoughts of Kia's Western developers for some time. "This idea allows us to discover interesting new design guidelines, as using a rear-drive structure makes very different ratios compared to a front-wheel generate car," says Chris Schreyer, Kia's Primary Design Official. "The traditional front-engined, rear-wheel generate structure of a efficiency saloon has unique charm not just for the home Japanese viewers, but also for the Western and American marketplaces."

"At the start this venture," contributes Gregory Guillaume, Kia's Western Design Primary, "the design team was motivated by the soul of legendary Seventies GT cars: magnificent and stylish automobiles capable of mixing travelers from London to the Southern region of Portugal in straightforward design and at high-speed. We wanted to create something in the same way elegant, fitness and assured, but not competitive or overbearing."

This focus of anticipating the waves and speed is pointed by the vehicle's aeronautical concept, headlined by the multi-piece propeller-style aluminum and carbon-fibre tires, the jet-themed rear-view digital cams, the low-slung front side air consumption, the sleekly efficient back diffuser / extractor and the winglets that contour in from the top side flanks and circulation into the headlamps.

This particular style design attracts motivation from the seminal Kia Kee idea car, proven at the Frankfurt Engine Display in 2007. Indeed, Kia GT has a powerful style family tree, with a number of main components of style that link it to this years Pop idea and the Kee, guaranteeing a high level of visible a continual despite their divergent designs and designs.

One of Schreyer and Guillaume's key objectives was to make sure that the vehicle's ratios couldn't be wrong for anything other than a rear-wheel drive efficiency saloon. Hence the prolonged hood with the top side tires encouraged right to the very front side of the car, the cab-rearward position, highly effective back back and cut down back end.

The Kia GT's outline boosts away from the A-pillar towards the back of the car, and this impact of athleticism is improved by the birdwatcher trademark line that operates from the platform of the A-pillar and along the roofline to end before platform of the back windshield. And in a nice touch, the tick-shaped design recaptures the top side quarter-light windows of the rakish GT vehicles that motivated the Kia style group.

The motivation for the use of birdwatcher came after a visit by Kia's color and decrease group to the DMY Worldwide Design Celebration Germany - Germany's key occurrence for modern and conceptual style - where this warm responsive steel was one of the stand-out components of the show. The material's comfort is healthy by the greatness of the Kia GT's light greyish paint, with its mica flakes, that slightly records technicalities of lighting.

There's a physical sense of durability and coherence to the Kia GT's streaming collections - from every position it brims with objective and objective, a important factor of Schreyer's strategy to style. This impact of stability is further strengthened by the way the roofline expands past the C-pillar to satisfy the back display, hunkering the car nearer to the earth.

This highly effective assurance is healthy by a number of eye-catching details. The braking mechanism calipers are completed in birdwatcher, developing a nice visible link with the vehicle's trademark line. The shapes of the castellated top of the windshield circulation into the ceiling, itself slightly bubbled to make further headroom for car owner and front side traveler. And the hood features a unobtrusive energy stick out and air consumption, meaning at the vehicle's efficiency potential.

Both Schreyer and Guillaume are particularly enthusiastic about the Kia GT's lighting. The alloy-framed central grill is between complicated headlamp systems that each house a bank of six greatly recessed LED illuminators, to make a highly unique night trademark. The innovative development of the headlamps is replicated by the individual capturing wing-shaped end light that moves around the vehicle's flanks and features two sets of three erect stanchions.

The front side doorways and rear-hinged back doorways open external at a minor in place position, imbuing the car with what Schreyer represents as an air of elegance and assurance. Despite its low position, fast roofline and short glasshouse, the Kia GT's clean and clean cottage structure has created a huge and ethereal internal with nice housing for the car owner and three travelers.

The single-piece chairs circulation on curved can handle, further emphasizing the cabin's huge measurements. The Kia design team intentionally decided to highlight the ratios of the indication tube to strengthen the energy and efficiency of the saloon, but then healthy this muscularity by moving away from a button-laden hub gaming system and developing a highly driver-centric structure.

The glass instrument panel - similar to that first seen on last year's Pop concept car - features three layers of organic LEDs. These not only give it a three-dimensional depth but also allow a wealth of information to be displayed at the driver's command, freeing up the centre console from the usual proliferation of controls, buttons and displays. Fingertip controls mounted on the small, dished, three-spoke steering wheel allow the driver to select the desired data display.

This sophisticated instrument panel floats above the muscular centre console, further enhancing the cabin's sense of space. The large red starter button and twist-and-go transmission selector are combined in a single compact unit, further freeing up space on the central transmission tunnel. Playback from the cigar-shaped rear-view cameras is displayed on a pair of compact and thin LED screens mounted on the doors - perfectly positioned in the driver's line of sight.

The heated colors of birdwatcher used along the top of the glasshouse make a visible weblink with the buffed exterior of the metallic-treated set used throughout the cottage, and this russet cottage hue is overflowing by the fantastic film of the glasshouse.

The idea behind this set exterior treatment is simple - the areas with which the car owner and travelers come into frequent contact become buffed and sleek, developing a heated and pleasant aging to the cottage.

Schreyer considers this idea is less about style details and more about a common sensation of position, percentage and stability - components that will effect and information his style crew's strategy to their next venture.
