The KIA company DC Comics presented with a series of special editions inspired by the super heroes of the Justice League.

In developing these versions the automaker radicals joined with comic artist Jim Lee, West Coast Customs, Super Street RIDES and to carry them out.

After the first release of Batman themed Optima made in the Time Warner Center in New York, KIA SEMA takes four racers including the Forte Koup is based on the worlds fastest hero.

Forte Koup was selected for pairing with The Flash for the great performance he showed in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. WCC technicians performed a special work on your body with airbrushing technique that uses the colors red, orange and yellow combined with superhero logos (on the hood has a lid that lets you see the engine of the car). He added 20-inch wheels that fit Asanti Color Continental Extreme Contact tires and a lowered suspension.

Inside are black leather seats and red suede with yellow stitching, side panels with graphics of lightning dash in black and red, two seven-inch screens located in the headrest and a great sound system with two major power sub woofers in the trunk and numerous amplifiers.

This creation, like the rest of the cars Thematic Justice League, were made to raise funds to fight hunger in the Horn of Africa.

Kia decided to play Santa early and gifted us with a teaser of its KV7 Concept, which is scheduled to debut next month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.

The company has tagged it as a convention-challenging concept, and certainly, those rear gullwing doors do capture the attention in a big way. The vehicle’s lines are reminiscent of the Soul’s, and it does look like a – rather – stretched version of the latter.

Aside from the teaser rendering you see pictured above, the Korean firm didnt really reveal any details on the funky crossover model that features a set of Gullwing-style rear doors, but if you insist, weve added the press release after the jump.
