A KIA car model featured in Xbox 360-exclusive PRG3 has been used in an image promoting the car manufacturer and PlayStation 3. Whoops...

For the record this is the second time assets from Project Gotham Racing have been used in conjunction with a PlayStation promotion.

We reported back in January that a goof had been made while promoting Gran Turismo HD. On the company's PSP Connect website, a 'splash' encouraging folk to download a new GT HD trailer used an image of Xbox 360 racer Project Gotham Racing 3.

Now though a KIA website has used (http://www.kia.es/ps3/) an image of a car model from the Microsoft game alongside a real-world image of a KIA car. You can clearly see the PGR license plate on the vehicle from the videogame.

It's probably the fault of the person who mans the KIA website rather a blatant Sony boob like the Gran Turismo ad. We expect the website to be "updated" imminently.
