It may be comically slower than a speeding bullet, not even remotely powerful as a locomotive, and it will never, ever be able to leap tall buildings, but the Superman-themed Kia Optima Hybrid that debuted at the Chicago Auto Show will bring to mind the “man of steel’s” wardrobe with its looks.
Kia teamed up with DC Entertainment and Super Street magazine to create the special Optima Hybrid that belongs to an extended family concepts inspired by the Justice League comic book series, and which up until now, include the Flash Forte Koup, Aquaman Rio 5-door, Cyborg Forte 5-door, Green Lantern Soul and the Batman Optima.
According to the Korean carmaker, these studies help “raise awareness of DC Entertainment’s “We Can Be Heroes” giving campaign, a relief effort to bring help and hope to people affected by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa”.
All changes to the Optima Hybrid are cosmetic sans the lowered suspension.
