Subtract two doors and a back seat from the Kia Soul and add a 250 horsepower and all-wheel drive and you have the Kia Track’ster concept. The initial sketches of the Track’ster were pretty underwhelming, but this car looks much better in photographs. A one inch longer wheelbase and a Brembo brake system with 14 inch rotors up front, 13.6 inches in the back and a combination of 6 and 4 piston brake calipers (front and rear) add to the Track’ster’s spec sheet. Instead of the rear seats, there’s a compartment for spare tires and safety gear like helmets.

Where's the hamsters? Gotta have the hamsters.
Can anyone say "Hey! I'm its ugly Mini Cooper knock off!"? If they're making a 250hp AWD car I'd like some decent aerodynamics with it.
This reminds me of an AMC prototype from the late 60's of an AMX with a Gremlin rear. [www.shorey.net]
This is what Mini could have been if they weren't making chick cars.
