It’s being reported that the Kia GT concept that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, has been approved for production.
If the GT has in fact received the green light, it will basically be a poor man’s Audi A7 or Porsche Panamera. Edmunds is reportedly received the good news from Kia executives at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, who confirmed that the GT will eventually be added to Kia’s lineup.

The rear-wheel-drive GT will ditch the concept’s suicide doors and futuristic fins on its face, but it will retain the sleek profile. It’s expected that it will be powered by a turbocharged 3.3L V6 that will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
