Kia Sports Coupe concept

Kia has released a second teaser image of the Sports Coupe Concept it will unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

This image shows the car in profile, which reveals a broad shoulder line and rear glazing that appears to wrap around the rear of the car, connecting to a metal B-pillar element. The rear end is sloped, resembling a hatchback in design, but the shut line leads us to believe the Sport Coupe will have a conventional trunk.

Designed under the guidance of Kia's Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer, the concept is heralded as a new design ethos for the Korean car company.

"I believe this concept car could be a 'landmark' vehicle in Kia's history and I wanted it to appeal to the widest possible audience," said Schreyer. "This design is not the result of self-indulgent design excess. It incorporates a host of elements that will become the new face of Kia right across our product range and it is the clearest design statement about the way I want Kia to be seen as we go forwards."

The name of the 2+2 Sports Coupe Concept has yet to be announced.
