2012 Kia Track’ster Concept revealed

Kia has unveil performance concept car the first details and images of the new Track’ster concept at 2012 Chicago Auto Show.

Kia Motors America (KMA) took the wraps off a performance-oriented three-door Soul coupe concept that hints at what could possibly be the future of Kia’s wildly successful Soul. The idea was to make the Track’ster tough looking, like a bulldog, said Tom Kearns, chief designer for KMA.

With performance as the top priority, but also kept their vision firmly rooted in reality. A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine pumps 250 horsepower to the pavement, a 66 percent increase over that of the production Soul. Tucked beneath the Track’ster’s hips are custom HRE-K1 monoblock billet performance wheels that were a joint effort of Kia’s California design team and HRE. The wheels are wrapped in 245/40-19-inch front and massive 285/35-19-inch rear Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 high-performance tires. The wheelbase on the concept is stretched to 101.2 inches, almost an inch longer than the production Soul.
