Kia has officially announced that they plan to reveal their new Forte Koup Mud Bogger at this year’s edition of the Specialty Equipment Market Association, or SEMA. This is most likely just for fun as various reports have stated that Kia has no intention of releasing this for purchase, but one can dream.
THE MUD BOGGER’S ACCESSORIES
This Mud Bogger certainly has some insane accessories and was seemed to be built like a Hot Wheels car! Kia has stated all of the features that their Mud Bogger will have. Kia states that this Mud Bogger will have absolutely enormous and aggressive 28-inch off road tires, wild fender flares to accommodate for all of the rubber on the car, a body and suspension that have been lifted four inches, a brush bar in the front that has been painted white, a roof that has a vinyl top so the occupants can push back, and also a hand built roll cage. It is safe to say that Kia has gone all out in making this toy.
Kia mentioned how this Mud Bogger was created to pay homage to the American South, but was created simply for SEMA and SEMA only as it does not sound like this was created to preview a new production model. However, who knows Kia could see this as a potential success and eventually make them for sale. Per various reports, it seems highly unlikely at this point and it seems like this Mud Bogger will be a one-off simply for amusement at the SEMA.
LET YOUR INNER CHILD COME OUT!
For any fans of Mud Bogger’s, this should make your inner child come out and shine. Now it is a little disappointing that this will not be for sale, but if it was many people probably could not afford it anyway. Anyone who plans on attending the SEMA should be excited to see what this beast will actually look like. Kia has also stated five other cars are planned to be unveiled at SEMA, but no other details are available on those cars at this time. Kia summed up this beast’s creation perfectly, Kia states, “the inexplicable joy of getting dirty on four wheels”. When it comes down to it even if this Mud Bogger never comes off the market the simple joy of seeing this car created will provide a worthwhile experience.
Wake up to the smell of your new Kia
