Soulster features include LED headlights, dual chrome exhaust pipes with polished aluminium tips, side vents, mirror turn signals and headlights/fog lights/tail lights incorporating blue shades. Standard 19 inch alloy wheels will also come with the new sporty Kia, keeping the fun in this mighty little truck. Four different engines will be available in Soulster – 1.6-liter 5-speed with 120 horse power, 2.0-litre 4-cylinder with 140 horse power (most likely for the States), a 1.6 with 124 horse power and a 1.6-liter turbo diesel. A yellow paint job is optional for those who do not want to look like a life guard from Baywatch.

Not to be outdone by their revealed vehicle projects, Kia immediately started teasing their MPV Concept, once again releasing a picture of the side and rear corner panel.

Kia hopes to reinvent the somewhat boring Rondo wagon look, giving it a more sporty, youthful design. Full reveal of the MPV Cocnept will be at upcoming 2009 Geneva Auto Show.

Kia’s Sidewinder was a natural-gas powered racer engineered for drifting competitions (LA has the first licensed American Drifting event). Sidewinder’s powerful natural gas turbine supplies electricity to separate in-wheel, high torque electronic motors. Hopefully one day we will see just what Vin Diesel can do with it.
