Audi R8 Ciplak

Left: Audi R8 / Right: Kia Coupe

I have always been a fan of Audi, their designs are always a step ahead of other car manufacturers. Like the latest Audi R8, a mean sleek looking piece of technology. If you have seen the Audi R8, you would want to own it. But after looking at the price, after our Malaysia Boleh taxes....you would just want to get the wallpaper for eye candy.

Wanting to compete against BMW, Lexus and Mercedes. Kia came up with their very own "supercar", a new 2.0L turbocharged engine that is being developed by Hyundai. A lookalike of the Audi R8 which cost only a fraction of it. The fact that the coupe bears some resemblance to an Audi is not by chance, since Kia tasked ex-Audi designer Peter Schreyer to design it.

So for all the Wira-Evo-Wannabe owners, soon you'll be able to own a Kia-R8-Wannabe.
