Do you have a need for speed? Whether you’re taking your car to the track, or you simply want something that makes you feel like a race car driver during your daily commute to work, there are a lot of reasons that the 2018 Kia Stinger ticks all the boxes. 
Under the Hood
Depending on which trim level you choose, there are several outstanding engine options to choose for your Kia Stinger. Opt for the 2.0L or the Premium trim levels, and your Stinger will come standard with a Twin Scroll Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine gives you 255 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the GT, the GT1, or the GT2, and you’ll have some serious power under the hood. They come standard with a Twin Turbocharged 3.3-liter V-6 engine. This engine pumps out 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque.
All of the trim levels have gasoline direct injection engines, so there is no lag in acceleration. You’ll also get an eight-speed automatic transmission on all trim levels.
Outperforming the Competition
The Kia Stinger GT models have blown other 2018 sports sedans out of the water. The 2018 Stinger GT has more horsepower than the 2018 Audi A7 Sportback, and it has more torque than the 2018 Porsche Panamera RWD V-6. It’s more than a whole second faster at going from zero to 60 than the BMW 440i Gran Coupe.
It not only outperforms on the track, but it also outperforms on price, too. The 2018 Stinger GT has a lower MSRP than the 2018 Infiniti Q50 3.0t, the 2018 Audi A5 Sportback, and the 2018 Lexus GS 350.
Sports Car Exterior
The 2018 Stinger doesn’t just perform well on the track; it turns heads on the road, too. It has fastback proportions and sculpted surfaces that help it look like a true Gran Turismo. The Stinger’s front fascia and island hood have only one single lateral line running through them.
Showing off its sportiness from the back, the Stinger has four exhausts. There are two on each side of the rear to give a balanced look and to hint at the power that lies beneath the hood.
Choose from five eye-catching colors including Micro Blue, Snow White, Aurora Black, Ceramic Silver, and Hi-Chroma Red. You can also add high-glow LED headlights with jewel-shaped LED turn-signals.
Stylish Interior
Feel like a race car driver before you even put your foot on the pedals. The Stinger has low-slung, contoured bucket seats that make you feel closer to the road while still giving complete comfort. Opt for premium Nappa leather with hand-stitching for even more luxury.
Safety Technology
You can also opt for a suite of safety technology features that help you satisfy your need for speed while keeping you safe behind the wheel. These features include forward collision avoidance assistance, rear cross traffic alert and avoidance, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance.
