I think you misread the article

The K9 sedan is a large, rear-wheel drive platform intended to be powered by both V6 and V8 engines when it comes to market in 2012, but according to WhatCar? the underpinnings of the K9 sedan are also being used to create a RWD, V8-powered coupe.

As if one Kia RWD V8-powered coupe isn’t enough, Kia’s chief Hank Lee also suggested a second concept car will arrive at the North American International Auto Show (also known as the Detroit Auto Show) this upcoming January. Kia will then decide based on the reception of its two concepts which model will be groomed for production with a targeted introduction year of 2015.
