Kia Reinvented The Dashboard For Its New Concept Sports Car [PHOTOS]

Kia unveiled its new concept sports car at the Detroit Auto Show this week, and the GT4 Stinger is a far cry from the low-end models (advertised by dancing hamsters) the brand is best known for.

The rear-wheel drive concept sits barely above the ground. Under the hood is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 315 horsepower, controlled with a six-speed manual transmission.

Hopefully that history will soon include delivering this crazy instrument panel to a car Americans can put in their driveway.
