  • KIA Four-door Sports Sedan Concept at Frankfurt Motor Show

    Kia will exhibit a new powerful and dynamic four-door sports sedan concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The interesting about the vehicle is that it comes with RWD… finally.

    The Concept also features distinctive new design, sleek and muscular proportions with a sophisticated and elegant four-seater cockpit.

    Kia will also bring the all-new Rio and a facelift version of the Kia Soul  at the IAA Frankfurt, so there will be plenty to see at the stand in Hall 3.1, booth A21.

    “No matter from which perspective you look at it – this concept car is roaring with energy and ready for take-off,” commented Peter Schreyer, Kia Motors Chief Design Officer, proudly.

    “I believe the car is a strong statement from Kia: we are ready to fast forward to an all new chapter.”, he finished.

  • 2012 Suzuki Swift Sport ahead of Frankfurt Motor Show

    2012 Suzuki Swift Sport will be exhibited at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

    The small hatchback is powered by a 1.6 liter M16A engine developed exclusively for the Swift Sport. It is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox boasting nice performance that is both exciting and environmentally responsible. The four-cylinder delivers 136 PS (100 kW) and 160Nm (118 lb-ft).

    The new Swift Sport offers superior cornering stability and brisker, more responsive handling thanks to struts with internal rebound springs and an exclusive rear-suspension design.

    High levels of safety are assured by features such as a light, stiff, impact-absorbing body, 7 airbags including curtain airbags and a driver’s knee airbag; and ESP (Electronic Stability Program).

    The new Swift Sport will hit the market later this year. Stay tuned for more information and price list.
