Toyota’s GT86 was a winning formula that just begged to be recreated by rival automakers, and it looks like Kia might be the first company to deliver a rival model.
According to reports in UK publication, “What Car?,” Kia has already begun working on a 2-seat challenger that will rival the GT86, as well as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ.
The word was delivered to the magazine by US design chief To Kearns, who said that the company has been studying an affordable, 2-seat, rear wheel drive coupe.
Industry insiders believe that such a model might just give Kia the touch of charisma it needs.
