U.S. based Kia Designer, Marc Mainville,
has entered his radical design for the Kia Sidewinder
concept into the Los Angeles Automotive Show design
contest that aims to find a car that is ideal for the
Californian lifestyle.
The Kia Sidewinder is a two-seater racer powered from
a compressed natural gas turbine, which feeds electricity
to a series of in-wheel, high torque, electric motors.
Kia chose drift racing as its theme for the "LA
Adventure", because Los Angeles was the scene
of the first officially-sanctioned American drifting
event.
This environmentally-responsible lean, mean, thrilling
machine has been designed to grab the crowd’s
attention while carving lines sideways through the
race course. |
