KIA FORTE KOUP WILL GET A TURBO ENGINE IN 2012

I found this Topic in website in the Net and want to share it with you Guys,
its would be a big Jump for KIA to Product a Forte with Turbocharged Engine.


Kia Forte may be new in the Malaysian market.With the fantastic design, Kia already has big plans for its new coupe, or Koup. Kia’s sales vice president mentioned that a turbocharged engine might be offered in the 2012 Kia Forte Koup.Is a turbocharged engine what Kia needs?


If Kia drop the turbo engine in a Forte Koup, and Kia would have a real sport compact and perhaps a legitimate rival to the Honda Civic and Volkswagen GTI.Currently the Forte Koup is powered by two engines which are a 2.0L or 2.4L inline-four making 156 hp or 173 hp, respectively.It would be good also if Kia plans to put a turbo unit for the Soul or Forte sedan.


A turbo engine would be the first ever for the brand. Turbocharging, according to Loveless, “is a natural extension if it makes financial sense,” meaning the engine would most likely have to be utilized by a few more of the Korean automaker’s other models.

Any website to share?

i prefer the way koup is marketted currently, a value for money, green economical car
rather than to have it placed into the sports car evo/wrx category

Good, was just discussing to book the Koup as an OPC. Now can wait a little.

i already have one more which is 5 yrs old, need to replace soon. With the OPC scheme being more attractive, now considering to scrap the other and get an OPC. I am think of a convertible but ex. A Koup look attractive for this lao uncle. Looking at a Rumion also but also overpriced.

Rumion????? No link with convertible or coupe le???

you guys so intersted about the Turbocharged Koup, gusse what, no one know's what KIA gonna offer to vthe Market in the next two years, may be will product a new car better than our Forte and will be time for Change, so for me i think 2012 will be to far to buy the koup if am intersted to owen one. think will be to old to owen koup in 2012 even V6 5.8 L Engine with twin turbocharge and 7 M/T lol.

nope.. KOUP and forte share most of the parts..

e.g. gear box, engine bay, and etc..

therefore no point buying a new car again when you can hook a powerful engine over =)

of coz it is illegal in Singapore as our legal document must tally with car chassis no.
