It looks like a futuristic Lamborghini and is expected to arrive as an electric successor to the Kia Stinger. Kia unveiled the Vision Meta Turismo concept, a preview of its “futuristic approach to a new era of electric mobility.”

After revealing the electric sports car concept in Korea last year, the Kia Vision Meta Turismo made its global debut at Milan Design Week.

While it’s still a concept, Kia’s global design boss, Karim Habib, said the Vision Meta Turismo “marks a significant milestone,” offering a sneak peek at how its new “Opposites United” design will evolve over the next few years.

The Vision Meta Turismo is “a physical manifestation of Kia’s continuous push forward,” according to Habib, that’s centered on three principles: performance driving, an immersive digital experience, and providing lounge-like space and comfort.

The concept’s low-riding, aerodynamic design looks like a futuristic Lamborghini or Stinger, but Habib said it takes inspiration from a jet aircraft.

Inside, the Kia Vision Meta Turismo is designed for gamers and those looking for a more immersive, arcade-like experience with a joystick, Virtual Gear Shifter, Button Launch Control, Virtual Engine Sounds, and more.

The concept also features a new steering wheel design that Kia said embodies its “vision of next-generation, intuitive interfaces.”

Drivers can choose from three different drive modes: Speedster, Dreamer, and Gamer, which offer unique experiences.

When Speedster mode is activated, a wide-angle augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD) simulates the driving experience, while sequential lighting and sound effects are added in the background.

Dreamer is designed to be used in the city to offer a virtual experience using AR HUD and AR glasses. While it can only be used when parked, Gamer Mode creates a virtual racing experience using the AR HUD and steering wheel.

While Kia has yet to confirm if it will build a production version of the Vision Meta Turismo, if it does, it’s expected to arrive as an electric successor to the Stinger, possibly arriving as the EV7 or EV8.

If you’re in the area, Kia is showcasing the Vision Meta Turismo alongside other EV concepts at Salone dei Tessuti in Milan until Sunday, April 26.
