SEMA: Kia Spectra5 SX Concept

Here’s a nice example of what professional tuning can do for a vehicle that in normal form, is no more interesting than a milk carton. Designed in house by Kia USA, the Spectra5 SX concept (known as the Kia Cerato in Europe) is finished in a three-stage Amped Amber exterior color that changes shades and color depending on the vantage point. The bodykit includes a new front fascia with an expanded opening and mesh inserts and similarly-styled rear fascia and rear diffuser atop a catback exhaust with a 2.25-inch outlet. The headlamps and tail lamps are tinted while the car sits on 18-inch wheels fitted with 235/45R18 performance tires. -Continued

Additionally, Kia has fitted the concept with a performance suspension with Eibach springs (lowered 1.4 inches in front and 1.2 inches in the rear) and high-performance cross-drilled and slotted four-wheel disc brakes with front Rotora four-piston aluminum calipers.
