The "Orange Blur" Kia Rio5 is an entertainment center on wheels, with a custom-built, 3,000-watt audio/video system built by Kenwood USA that utilizes three amplifiers and four subwoofers. The amps were configured to fit in the space previously occupied by the rear seat -- which was removed -- and an Ipod Nano is integrated into the center console. The hatchback’s turbocharged powerplant produces more than 200-horsepower and utilizes a stainless steel, cat-back exhaust system.
