Reviewer's opinion
Powered by a 3.3-litre, twin-turbo V6 GDI engine and sending power to the rear wheels, the Stinger GT produces 272 kW at 6 000 rpm and 510 Nm torque from as low as 1 300 rpm. This makes it good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.9-seconds, making it the fastest accelerating product from KIA. It will top out at a limited 270 km/h.
