Kia Sidewinder

Kia Sidewinder
Hyundai Kia America Design Center
Designer: Marc Mainville

This Kia is a two-seat, lean, mean, drifting machine! The Sidewinder’s power comes from a compressed natural gas turbine, which feeds electricity to a series of in-wheel, high torque, electric motors. This environmentally-responsible vehicle would surely grab the most attention while carving lines sideways through the race course. Kia chose drift racing as its theme for the “LA Adventure,” because Los Angeles was the scene of the first officially-sanctioned American drifting event.

I highly doubt that will be Kia's next coupe.

Of course, it's just a design concept for the LA Auto Show but a fairly decent one coming from KIA. Read the copy.

Just seeing KIA's name on the car scares me.
