You probably have a better chance of sneaking into the dark dictatorship of North Korea than getting into Kia's vast, top-secret research and development complex creating its next generation of cars bound for British showrooms.

But this week, I managed to do just that — as one of the first group of journalists to be granted access to the fast-growing firm's high-security Namyang R&D facility and test track an hour's drive south-west of South Korea's capital, Seoul.

They've even replicated UK road conditions on their test tracks — including all manner of potholes and ruts.
