    The Track-ster will be unveiled Chicago auto show next week.

Kia Dancing Hamsters, your new band van is at the door.

Kia in the US has released a teaser image of the funky Kia Track-ster Concept.

The Track-ster – based on the boxy Kia Soul made virally famous with the Kia Dancing Hamster series of commercials – will be unveiled Chicago auto show next week.

Penned at Kia’s California design studio, the Track-ster is essentially a sports coupe take on the Soul, and warps its boxy lines slightly with a higher waistline and large alloy wheels under swollen wheel arches.

Kia said the Track-ster will carry a turbo engine. However – unlike the Soul-ster that preceded the production version, Kia says this concept won’t make it from show to showroom.

  • Why do they bother with all of these concept cars? They are completely pointless. They never go from these car shows to being available for sale. Hey, lets show everyone what they cant have. So dumb. Here's a thought carmakers. How about showing us all what you have developed that we will be able to buy instead of endless concept cars that are a big fat waste of time & money.

  • Was looking at the Soul to buy but its expensive for what it is. Even the dealership here in Canberra don't stock it last year, told to go to Sydney for test drive. Love the car but the pricing is an issue when a Cerato is better priced and more spacious.
