Traditional hot-rodders and fans of muscle cars will undoubtedly wince at cars such as this one Kia is showing off at next week’s SEMA Show. Truth is that today’s auto enthusiasts have a wider choice of vehicles to modify than ever before.
Kia has teamed up with Antenna magazine to create what it calls “a completely one-of-a-kind retro ride aimed at totally radical surfing enthusiasts.” It is one of six sports-themed vehicles that Kia Motors will debut at SEMA.
Antenna took an all-new 2012 Rio 5-door and turned it into a surfer’s dream, with a sunset-metallic golden-brown paint, front splitter made of wood to match an old school surfboard and striking gold wheels. The rear console of the Rio also has been completely modified to accommodate a retro gaming console that plays 80’s-style arcade games and music, and shelves for sandals and swimsuits.
Should we think of this Kia Rio as a modern day woody wagon?
