Kia might not have as insanely tantalizing sports car debuts like Chevy or Toyota today, but its GT4 Stinger Concept is not something to overlook. Kia previously teased the car and gave details about the powertrain (2.0L turbo-four T-GDI engine with 315hp - it's the same engine Kia uses in its Optima racers). And that power is just a small piece to a full puzzle that'll give you a sports car that nobody can complain about.

It has 2+2 seating, a six-speed manual transmission, independent double wishbone suspension for a rear-wheel platform that has 52 percent of that weight up front. Not to mention it's only 49.2 inches tall, weighs 2,874 lbs and has 275/35R-20 Pirelli P-Zero performance tires on the rear wheels. The FR-S/BRZ/GT86 might want to take a look over its shoulder right about now.
