Kiaclub Nieuwsrobot Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Kia has unveiled its most performance-focused models ever today at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with the oddly named pro_cee’d GT and cee’d GT badges. Powered by turbocharged 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engines, the two hatches both make 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Both models were designed, developed, and manufactured in Europe – which means North American won’t be seeing either anytime soon. SEE ALSO: 2013 Geneva Motor Show Coverage The standard transmission on either model is a six-speed manual, and according to Kia, the front-wheel drive cars hit 62 mph in 7.7 seconds with a top speed of 143 mph. Both vehicles feature new front grilles and lamp clusters, deeper bumpers, jewel-like four-point LED daytime running lights, new fog lights, dual-exhaust pipes, 18-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and a range of special paint finishes. Inside, the hatches are even more aptly equipped as performance models. Recaro sport seats along with alloy pedals and a seven-inch, race car inspired TFT instrument cluster adds to the vehicle’s excitement.

Pricing and final specifications will be announced closer to the sale date. While we won’t ever see these new hot hatches in North America, Kia will offer a 201-hp turbocharged Forte 5-Door on our shores. Close enough?
