The Kia EV6 GT is quite an impressive electric vehicle and KW and BBS have partnered to develop a new suspension and wheel package that will boost its insane levels of performance even higher. Consider this as an EV6 GT RS if you will.
When it comes to suspension, few companies are held in as high regard as KW and for the EV6 GT, it has developed a new set of coilovers that should improve the handling. The dampers offer 12 clicks of low-speed compression and 16 clicks of low-speed rebound adjustment while also enabling owners to lower the car by between 20 mm (0.78 inches) and 45 mm (1.7 inches).
KW’s V3 coilovers are available for several other vehicles and it says that their coilovers help to smooth out and dampen the EV6’s ride while also ensuring the tires retain optimal levels of grip. The suspension upgrade will set back EV6 GT owners £3,085 (~$3,900).

A special set of BBS wheels has also been developed for the high-performance EV. These new rims are known as the BBS CC-R Unlimited wheels and measure 22 inches at all four corners. They come complete with a White Gold finish and suit the sporty prowess of the car perfectly, providing it with some added panache without going over the top.
These wheels aren’t cheap as the set costs a cool £2,500 (~$3,200) – and that’s before you factor in the cost of the tires.
The Kia EV6 GT is a phenomenal piece of kit. It is powered by a pair of electric motors that combine to produce 576 hp and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque and despite weighing 4,795 lbs (2,174 kg), it can sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds.
