What we can tell you for sure at this point is that Kia->ke41 is a huge fan of cartoon superheroes. Until now, we have seen models inspired by Batman, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg and Green Lantern, and as you can see, there is someone missing on this list. Yes, you are right: Superman!

This doesn't mean that Kia forgot about him. The most likely reason is that the automaker couldn't find an auto show to unveil the superman-inspired Optima. Well, the wait is over, as the Superman-inspired Optima->ke1325 Hybrid made its debut at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show debut.

The car has been designed in cooperation with Super Street magazine, but except an aggressive body kit and the Superman-inspired coloration we see nothing "super" about this Optima. It gets customer fenders that make it a little bit wider, a beveled front grille resembling Superman's belt and red headlights. The concept is painted in a very cool blue combined with Superman's unmistakable chest emblem on the hood and red elements added on the trunk.

The interior features the same blue and red color combination and gets Superman's iconic "S" shield integrated into the seats and steering wheel.

And that's pretty much all the super stuffs added in the new Superman-inspired Kia Optima. Was it worth? Most likely not, but is always good to discover your inner-child.
