Superhero Optima, anyone?

Kia's Optima is already a distinctive medium saloon, but what if you were rolling around in this one, asks Brian Byrne?

It's a superhero version produced for the Chicago Auto Show, and it is being used to raise awareness for the US-based We Can Be Heroes campaign to fight hunger in Africa.

The highly-detailed vehicle is, underneath the Man of Steel skinwork, a hybrid version of the car.
