Kia Turns the Soul into a YouTube Player on Wheels
To mark its
involvement as official sponsor of the inaugural YouTube Music Awards (#YTMA)
global event, Kia Motors has transformed a 2014
Soul
into a mobile video recording booth and multi-screen YouTube player.
The car was designed and customized by Lux Motorwerks under the direction of Harris
Publications and RIDES Magazine and features a “YouTube” paint scheme
combining matte white and red, including red accents and logos of the popular
video sharing website.
Key customization elements include a
wireless keyboard embedded in the rear center armrest, a webcam for
high-definition video recording, 10 WiFi-enabled iPad Minis in the rear cargo
area and a Mac Mini with high-speed WiFi Hot Spot for instant uploads and
streaming.
The funky Kia also features big alloy wheels
painted red shod with sport tyres with a very thin profile.
The inaugural YouTube Music Awards
(#YTMA) is a global event culminating in a live show on New York City’s Pier 36
on Sunday, November 3, where people worldwide will have access to concerts
staged around the world. The show will be broadcast live on the website
starting from 6 pm Eastern Time.
