Take a Look at the Kia Stinger GT2

If you’re interested in getting behind the wheel of a luxury sports car, Kia may not be the first manufacturer that comes to mind. You’re going to want to take another look, though, because the Kia Stinger GT2 is a high-end vehicle that can definitely hold its own against the other cars in its class. In fact, the Stinger GT2 often outperforms some of the more well-known cars available today. So, what is it about the Kia Stinger GT2 that makes it something you should consider for your next vehicle?

Power and Performance

The 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 is equipped with a powerful 3.3-liter V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers an impressive 365 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 376 pounds-feet torque between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm. In simple terms, that’s a lot of power when you hit the gas.

Speaking of gas, the GT2’s fuel efficiency is more than noteworthy for a car running an engine this powerful. You’ll enjoy 19 mpg on city streets, 25 mpg on highways, and 21 mpg combined. Those may seem like small numbers but, when compared to other cars in this class, they’re right on par. When a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in as little as 4.5 seconds can boast this kind of fuel efficiency, it’s worth paying attention to.

This car also features mind-blowing audio through the included premium sound system by Harman/Kardon. With a total of 15 high-end speakers and QuantumLogic surround sound technology, you’ll experience sound that rivals many in-home systems.
