More news about Kia’s pro_cee’d GT – the car surfaced last week, a sketch offering the first glimpse of the performance three-door. Now, the first technical details have come about, as well as another sketch.
When it makes its market debut in mid-2013, the pro_ceed GT will be joined by the five-door cee’d GT. Both models will roll off the line at Kia’s manufacturing facility in Zilina, Slovakia.
The company’s first two GT models will be powered by a 1.6 litre Gamma T-GDI engine equipped with a twin-scroll turbocharger and strengthened internal components. Rated power output is 204 hp at 6,000 rpm, up 51% over the non-turbo engine, with torque up by 61% to 265 Nm at 1,750-4,500 rpm.
Performance specs include a 0-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds for the six-speed manual variant. Revisions to the suspension include stiffer coil springs, and common to both 4.3 metre-long GTs are unique 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/40 series tyres.
Both cars will incorporate unique features befitting their GT suffix, with new grille and lamp clusters, deeper bumpers, red brake calipers and special paint finishes being items of note.
The GT models will also wear jewelry-like, four-point LED daytime running lights, as suggested by the first public sketch of the pro_ceed GT. Meanwhile, the interior will feature Recaro sports seats, alloy pedals and bespoke surface materials. More on it as it gets closer to production, undoubtedly.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Speechless
Why la speechless???
I am speechless, coz I can easily get this car at 40% RV after 6 months
WTF?! The car is not even made in metal yet and you are talking about RV edi..
Yea, probably when PKR wins and reduce car tax by then. Oppsss, your T&H also will be at 40% RV too.
why these dickheads never stop talking about RV whenever new (korean) cars are introduced…
They (especially T&H uncle supporters) butthurt because korean cars cause T&H’s RV to drop since more and more ppl opt for new Korean car rather than 2nd hand T&H. :)
golf gti smoked this one.
golf gti is seriously fugly lol..
smokeD? with a ‘d’? really? someone has done that? provide some critical comments will ya?
i.e. instead of putting the 1.6 twin scroll mill, they should put the 2.0 turbo (274hp@6000rpm/269lb-ft@1750rpm) engine from KIA Optima SX 2011.
golf gti is a refined hot hatch which can double up as a practical family hatch. If u want to compare this to a VW, compare it to the Scirocco ler.
It seems when it comes to car, some ‘non-smokers’ suddenly become ‘smokers’, while ‘smokers’ becomes ‘even more smokers’… It sounds like a car is meant to smoke other, and it’s doomed when it fails to smoke… lol…
Some observations so far:-
A car is way too sissy when it cannot smoke other.
A car is a piece of twisted metal when its value evaporated overnight.
A car is way too ‘cheap’ when it’s owned by too many people with ‘cheap’ taste.
Pardon me for my sick joke… lol…
For Euro Market ONLY!
Don’t expect this to sell in any Asian Countries.
Kia Pro Ceed and Ceed model is only for Euro Market. They don’t sell this is Korea nor its Asian counterpart.
This car not worthy to sell in Malaysia. Malaysian buy Golf GTI only. Only ‘poor European’ will like this car. Malaysian all rich one.. :)
yeah.. too bad for us
Too bad for me, coz I would have made more money when this car is traded in and sold out
GT or not GT… it doesn’t matter, expect to lose 50% of car value after 1 year kimchi… lol
RV….RV…RV…Always RV… Buy house or land la if always about RV……
Sam, can u ask ur friend, in this few years, samsung got better value or nokia? Ur coment in paultan really make u look childish and stupid.
Nokia is not japanese toyota and honda.. that’s why no rv. european product memang known for low rv.
