Off the bat Kia laid down some strong phrases with their 2018 Stinger, “designed in Frankfurt” and “developed on the Nürburgring,” and then they instantly backed them up with a 0-60mph time of 4.7-seconds, besting a Porsche Panamera.
What began as just a concept in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show will hit the streets in December of this year, a journey which in car years is relatively short. Packing a twin turbocharged V6 the Stinger GT puts out 365hp and 376 lb.-ft. of torque, besting the “Audi S5 Sportback, BMW 440i Gran Coupe, and Infiniti Q50” when it comes to power and propelling it to a top speed of 167mph.
Simply put, this is one badass Kia and hopefully representative of the direction of the brand away from the likes of the Soul; oh, and the dancing hamsters.
