Kia’s preparations to enter into the rear wheel drive sports sedan market are heating up with the 3 Series challenger spied in undisguised pre-production guise rolling off its Korean production line.

To be called the K8 in its home market, the all-new medium sedan will more likely be sold under the GT or Stinger nameplates in western markets, sharing its platform and engines with the upcoming Genesis G70 sedan.

The single image, published on the Kia World forum, shows a roofline that takes its inspiration from the Kia Optima with a floating roof formed through the continual flow of the upper door surface, and a stout C-pillar giving the GT a coupe-like stance.
