Kia isn't saying how fast the Track'ster is, but the 250hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol under the bonnet is no less than 66% more powerful than the production engine its based on.

My neighbour was called a bit of a loony for buying kia in its early days but even then he had lower repair bills and now out of 38 cars on the street 4 are kia. They have arrived. Im due to change mine in 3 months and Im looking at kia - its just the value for money.

Do some of you just comment for the sake of it looks a little like the mini is the mini ugly one of the best selling cars in the world, light refraction of shaped panels are dents ,kia used to be ugly unreliable cars they have now caught up and past many makes of cars and are in the top ten for reliability, in front of cars like mercedes, audi, vw, bentley etc I am a petrol and have nothing but respect for them.

plz make it and give me 2 (one for the wife so she keeps off mine )

This looks absolutly awsome, never thought id say that about a kia. I think they should put this or a slightly watered down version into production. Get there name on the hot hatch scene and get them some attension

Why a concept?
09/02/2012 13:51
Front of a mini arse end of a 1 series, They are just stealing/using designs that work for other dealers but so what the car does look quite cool..

No holds barred 'magic marker' design not over-stylised software design. Might be an old git but love it!

Gee this looks like a mish mash of a Mini, a Suzuki Swift, a Nissan Cube and even a touch of a Skoda Fabia. Maybe it's one of those cars that is like a, er, Golf!

09/02/2012 20:27

lovely bumbly carnt wait stunning or what jon

I think people forget this is a concept track car and never will be released to the public....
...I can easily see this in the Andros ice racing trophy cup, or a mini formula like the Clio Cup. Looks really nice, sporty version of the Soul.

Looks like there are a lot of south Koreans reading the comments here, never seen so many thumbs down.
09/02/2012 11:27
Initial impressions were "WOW!" I thought it was a true competitor for the amazing Mini and Citroen DS3 but when i saw that it only has two seats I was disappointed. Definite limitation to potential target market here.
4/5 seats should be at least an option to make it a contender.
Still, I think it looks great !

Looks great. Got abit of the old fashioned mini and Renault 5 Turbo about it. The morons who commented about dents have obviously never seen a photo of a clean car before.
