The apostrophe has gone, but an actual latter seems to have fallen off the badge too. Not a GTI? Nope, not a GTI. Perhaps not a GT either, if your definition of that is is an old-school coupe. But anyway, let"s not get hung up on historical definition. The Kia Ceed GT is a warm hatchback. It"s a 1.6-litre turbo with 204bhp. No match for the full-on hot hatches, and actually an uncommon power output. Peugeot does a 308 GT with 225bhp. There are Seat Leon FRs (not Cupras) with 190bhp. VW Golf GTIs start at 230bhp these days.
