Now we can witness how Kia is in full (and risky) venture into an entirely new market for the brand after the good reception given to the GT concept car first seen at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show a few months ago.

One of the most innovative features for an Asian company is planning to create a whole family of vehicles based on the concept GT, much in the vein of the BMW 6 Series will include a 4-door Coupé from next year.
