Kia X-Car behind the scenes
To celebrate the Australian Open 2015,
Kia is presenting to the world the Kia X-Car, based on Kia’s all-new
Sorento premium SUV.
The Kia X-Car was inspired by Wolverine who fights the evil Sentinels with his
invincible Adamantium
claws in the latest X-Men series, X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Watch the Kia X-Car “making of” film for a glimpse behind the scenes and an
interview with the design team.
Main designer Jung Chul Lee shares the overall
concept for the Kia X-Car and its design process.
Wolverine’s identity is clearly emblazoned on the all-new Sorento’s front and
back, where his signature Adamantium
claws provide bold accents, and the ‘X’ on the grill
stands for X-Men
The spoiler was inspired by Wolverine’s spiky hair and
the voluminous wheel
arch gives the X-Car a more powerful look. The interior seats also
feature the X-Men’s
signature ‘X’, and the claws are prominent on the front
dash, completing the Wolverine-inspired Sorento.
“When I was offered this
opportunity, I jumped at the chance to join this project,” Lee stated in his
interview. “Although it was challenging to integrate the feel of a movie
character into the car, it was a rewarding experience and our team really
enjoyed the Kia Sorento show car production.”
So what do you think of the
Kia X-Car? We’re sure that it will lend an added element of excitement to the
Australian Open 2015.
