First Coast Gears: Kia Track'ster

Imagine if the Kia Soul got shots of tesosterone and hired a trainer at the gym. The Track'ster concept from Kia (shown here) might just be the result.

Kia juiced up the Soul's personality for the Track'ster concept with all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged 2.0-lter four-cylinder that produces 250-horsepower. “The idea was to make the Track’ster tough looking, like a bulldog,” said Tom Kearns, chief designer for Kia Motors America.

The wheelbase is nearly an inch longer than the Soul and it's five inches wider. The braking is bulked up with Brembos and of course the interior and exterior received custom styling touches such as sculpted front-wheel arches, and immense LED driving lights.

The Track'ster is a pure concept. There are no plans for production.
