Kia unveils EV4 GT Clay concept honoring Rafael Nadal

Design features court textures

The vehicle displays a top-to-bottom transformation using red-orange tones on the doors, bonnet, and windows. White lines run across the angular edges to match the white inscribed signature found on Nadal's back. The car surface combines actual tennis court clay with automotive modelling clay to create a unique tactile finish.

Nadal praises long partnership

Rafael Nadal stated in an official statement that Kia has been by his side throughout his career. He described receiving the tribute created from materials defining his journey as incredibly meaningful. The gesture serves as a special reminder of everything the player and the brand have shared.

Tribute marks two decades

The concept commemorates a partnership that has lasted more than two decades between the athlete and the manufacturer. This project highlights both the player's career achievements and the innovation Kia has focused on over that time.
