KIA K900 King James Edition (1)

Πριν περίπου ένα μήνα ο LeBron James παρουσίασε την ειδική έκδοση του Kia K900, το οποίο φέρει την υπογραφή του, μαζί με τις στιλιστικές του επιλογές.

Εκμεταλλευόμενος τον one-off χαρακτήρα του μοντέλου, αλλά και την δημοτικότητα του ο άσσος του NBA, που παίζει στους Cleveland Cavaliers (κερδίζουν 3-0 τους Celtics στα φετινά playoffs), θα δημοπρατήσει το αυτοκίνητο, με τα έσοδα να πηγαίνουν στο φιλανθρωπικό ίδρυμα που διατηρεί ο μπασκLeBron James Family Foundation.

Τα “χτυπήματα” για το αυτοκίνητο ξεκίνησαν χθες, και θα διαρκέσουν μέχρι την 7η μέρα του Μαΐου και μέχρι στιγμής έχει 5 bids με το μεγαλύτερο να είναι στα 79.000 δολάρια. Το Kia K900 King James Edition είναι βαμμένο σε κόκκινο χρώμα, διαθέτει μαύρα γυαλιστερά διακοσμητικά, μαύρη μάσκα, δίχρωμες ζάντες, ειδικά λογότυπα στο εξωτερικό και στο εσωτερικό συναντάμε μαύρες δερμάτινες επενδύσεις με το λογότυπο του James να βρίσκεται ραμμένο στα προσκέφαλα των καθισμάτων.

Kia Motors and its Luxury Ambassador, LeBron James, have teamed up with Charitybuzz to auction his customized Kia K900 sedan, with proceeds benefitting the Lebron James Family Foundation. Working with Celebrity Auto Group, the philanthropist and star of Kia’s Fit for a King™ ad campaign personalized the one-of-a-kind K900 that is now available for fans to bid on at Charitybuzz.com through 3 p.m. ET on May 7, 2015.

“I’m excited to share this custom car with the winning bidder and even more proud that all of the proceeds are going to help my Foundation continue its amazing work,” said LeBron James. “All of the proceeds raised will help us keep kids in school and give them an education that is extremely important for their futures.”

First unveiled at the 2015 NBA All-Star game at Madison Square Garden, the King James Edition K900 also made auto show appearances in Cleveland and New York in April. Select customization elements include Alcantara Suede interior and headliner, color-matched diamond contrast stitching throughout, Llumar® Ceramic window tint, customized Lexicon® Logic 7® audio system, personalized King James Limited Edition Plaque #01 and LBJ icons in the headrests.

“The K900 challenges everything people think they know about Kia, and the King James Edition takes on a new personality by showcasing LeBron James’ unique style,” said Tim Chaney, vice president of marketing communications, Kia Motors America. “We are proud that LeBron chose to drive a Kia, and to provide fans the opportunity to bid on the K900 and have the proceeds go to the LeBron James Family Foundation.”
