Late last week, we finally got our hands on the first pictures of the Kia GT Concept, a magnificent rear-wheel-drive sedan to be unveiled in a couple of days at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Now, we have some information suggesting that the car will be both aesthetically AND mechanically impressive.

A 3.3-litre turbocharged V6 engine producing just under 400 horsepower and close to 400 lb-ft of torque will drive the rear axle through an 8-speed automatic transmission.

It even appears that the concept will serve as inspiration to eventually build a similar model – and a new alternative to the Hyundai Genesis.

Further details will likely be released upon the GT's world debut, so stay tuned!
