Unveiled at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Kia Track’ster concept is a
performance-oriented three-door coupé based on the all-new Soul.
Track’ster is a bold interpretation of the Soul with a bold attitude,
such as the eye-catching Whiteout and Inferno Orange paint scheme.
Kia’s signature grille features an air intake slit and is trimmed in
lightweight carbon fiber. Most striking, up front is the Track’ster’s lower
intake grille. Flanked by immense LED driving lights with billet aluminum
surrounds, the Track’ster is capable of devouring prodigious amounts
of air to keep the engine running cool even under the most grueling
conditions. The lower valance, trimmed in carbon fiber and accented with
Inferno Orange, rides just inches off the ground and lends to the car’s
menacing stance.
Track’ster features not only distinctive design but also excellent
performance. A 2.0-litre turbocharged in-line-four engine puts 250
horsepower to the road, a 66% increase over that of the production
Soul. Power is routed to all four wheels via an electronically controlled
four-wheel-drive system. The short-throw six-speed manual transmission
is capped with a stubby spherical shift lever. The Track’ster rides on a
lowered sport suspension tuned for track performance.

The Kia GT, a first-of-its-kind concept car, is a four-door luxury sports
sedan with rear wheel drive. Kia’s exclusive design identity was
reinterpreted to give a dynamic and progressive style to the model. Its
design ergonomics offer passengers a wide and pleasant interior space,
while its gasoline Lamda 3.3 Turbo GDi engine and 8-speed transmission
boast strong power performance, guaranteeing dynamic driving
performance.
