2006 Kia Sidewinder - LA Auto Show Design Challenge

Cars Mania Blog
Auto Car | 2006 Kia Sidewinder - LA Auto Show Design Challenge | The Kia Sidewinder was one of the entrants into the 2006 Los Angeles Auto show's 'LA Adventure' design competition. A competition in which the participants chose an activity available in the southern California area, and then designed a vehicle for that purpose.

Kia Sidewinder is a two-seat, lean, mean and drifting car. This environmentally-responsible car would surely grab the most attention while carving lines sideways through the race course. The Sidewinder’s power comes from a compressed natural gas turbine, which feeds electricity to a series of in-wheel, high torque, electric motors. Because Los Ange les was the scene of the first officially-sanctioned American drifting event Kia chose drift racing as its theme for the “LA Adventure “

Designed at the Kia America Design Center by Marc Mainville, the Kia Sidewinder concept is intended as an environmentally friendly vehicle for drift-racing, a California adventure because Los Angeles was the scene of the first officially sanctioned American drifting event.
