During the past few years, South Кorean Kia has acquired an image of an automaker that offers a stylish and coherent range, thanks in no small part to a German designer Peter Schreyer.

According to the British magazine, the Korean automaker intents to make sportier vehicles later on. And it plans to do so by unveiling a V8-powered, rear-wheel drive sports coupe at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The V8 coupe to be shown in Frankfurt is just the first of a series of concepts, as another study is being prepared for the NAIAS show in January. The concepts will be based on Kia’s upcoming large sedan for the North American market.

One of the two concepts is rumored to come into the market as early as 2015.
