起亚在今年底特律车展发布2019款福瑞迪之后一个月，福瑞迪产品经理DerrickTy透露，福瑞迪还将有一款“更令人兴奋”的产品。从那时起，各种谍照，传言甚嚣尘上。最近，谍照记者终于首次拍到了福瑞迪GT的照片，据传该车将替代福瑞迪SX车型。该车的车身采用了重度伪装，不过，仍能看出一些更具运动风格的元素。新车最明显升级是车尾配备了双排气尾管。新的侧裙和行李箱盖扰流器让这款车看起来更具侵略性。前脸或许进行了改款，但由于伪装的缘故无法看清。不过，也有可能没有改变。该车动力系统为一台取自2019款起亚CeedGT的1.6升四缸涡轮增压引擎，最大功率201马力，峰值扭矩265牛米。与引擎搭配的是六速手动变速器或七速双离合器变速器。起亚福瑞迪GT将成为消费者瞩目的车型，该车将很快发布，预计最快将在11月开幕的洛杉矶车展亮相。

 

Sportier Kia Forte GT Spied For The First Time

One month after Kia unveiled the 2019 Forte at the Detroit Auto Show, Kia Forte Product Manager Derrick Ty let slip a "more exciting" version of the Forte could happen. Since then, we’ve waited for new developments – spy photos, rumors, something. Well, we finally have that something – spy photos of the Kia Forte GT, which is rumored to replace the sportier SX model.

 

It’s wearing plenty of camouflage; however, we can spot a few of the sportier elements. The most significant upgrade is the oval dual exhaust at the rear. New side skirts and what appears to be a spoiler round on the trunk out the Forte GT’s more aggressive appearance. The front fascia may have some tweaks, but they’re hidden under a copious amount of camo. However, it appears unchanged. Under the hood will be a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine – the same engine in the recently-revealed 2019 Kia Ceed GT. The engine produces 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet (265 Newton-meters) of torque. It’ll pair with either a six-speed manual transmission or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

 

The Kia Forte GT looks ready for the limelight, so we shouldn’t have to wait long for an official unveiling. We could see one soon – as soon as the Los Angeles Auto Show, which kicks off at the end of November.
