It's not uncommon to see an automaker go a little outside of its comfort zone when creating a concept car, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> seems to be going all out for a new small concept it plans to unveil at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a>. Although there is not much information to go on about this unnamed concept, Kia does say that it "hints at a possible future B-segment contender."<br />
<br />
With headlights that would look at home on a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/corvette/">C7 Corvette</a> or <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/f-type/">Jaguar F-Type</a> and door cut lines reminiscent of a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+gt/">Ford GT</a>, we can only imagine how sporty this car will look in the flesh. The wide door openings also give a good glimpse inside the car revealing details deep, flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters and the peculiar rotary-style shifter, but our attention is on the instrument panel switches. If you look closely, the second switch from the left seems to be for a center differential possibly hinting at a future sporty all-wheel-drive Kia.
