Lee declined to talk about specification list, but said the company this need to consolidate their premium image in the U.S-market. The biggest issue now? Kia currently not having the required drivetrain to make the its GT a reality, that’s why the R&D Center is working and performing the development of the 3.3 Turbo GDi and V6 engine.
“To achieve and realise the GT we need a more powerful engine so we are discussing with R&D side,” said Lee.
