    If this was branded as an Audi , BMW or Mercedes everyone would want one. This is the best case of brand blindness in recent vehicle history.The great irony is that masters from Audi and BMW M division actually created this car working for KIA.
    This car is extremely underrated and has quite the following. With the +-500hp tune kit this car hauls ass with all the comforts and luxury of a 100000 EUR car and is powerfull and agile enough for day2day driving and silly fun weekend sheninagns. Don't forget the price tag when you compare it to other brands in the same performance class. Just the rarity and head turner factor is great. I have recieved way more attention in this car than other "performance cars". This car will definitly go up in value in the long run. They are a bargin at current prices. Get one and don't look back. Just debrand the whole thing if you still have 90s KIA etched in your mind :)

    Misha,
    First of all great lap, thanks for that 🙏🏼
    As a Stinger GT owner for almost 2 years now few quick explanations:
    - Sport+ has 87/13 RWD/FWD bias, comfort it’s 50/50, sport it’s I believe 70/30
    - Stock brakes are shit, most people change them
    - Engine needs a small software tune and goes to 460-480HP and 700Nm without any hardware changes and hiccups
    - More passionate owners in Poland also do the gearbox software change which eliminates any lags in sport+
    - Temperatures display is fake, it was boiling in reality, when I check temps in JB4 they are completely different
    Hopefully I can finally manage to bring mine to Nordschleife and give you a proper version for testing 😎

    So glad that this underrated car finally appears on the channel. I got a 2.0 turbo second hand with only 29.000 km last year, in the red color. I love the car much more than I expected, it simply puts a smile on my face every time I enter it and drive it. I wanted the 3.3 engine, but in Romania, where I am located, the annual tax would be 1400 EUR, which is simply insane. As a difference, for the 2.0 I am paying 35 EUR/year. This car failed at selling because Kia forgot about the marketing completely, a fact that I cannot understand. I got ultra BMW fans and German car fans praise the car like I never expected. They couldn't believe the material quality in the interior, what tech is build in and other stuff.
    Yeah, all in one, if you like the car, go for it! People are beginning to chat with you about the car in parking spots, because nobody knows this car.

The brakes are something that need an upgrade for sure, but all in all its a great car! And really affordable. Its the best time to buy a used one, most of them still has KIAs 7 year warranty! Crazy!

    Loved it. I've watched several Nurburgring videos over the years and that includes a couple of Stinger laps. This one aces them all. Your "emotionless drive" was highly entertaining and impressed me. You're a cool cucumber at the wheel.
    I have driven a Stinger for the past six years. My Silky Silver GT1 is six years old yesterday. When it got rear-ended I thought it was dead and rushed over to the dealer and got a replacement that same day, a Micro Blue Premium. We kept it when the GT1 was repaired and it's my wife's car. A two-Stinger family I never expected to be. Driving my Stinger on the Ring is a bucket list item for sure. Will never happen. The Pond is in the way. :D
    What impressed me to get a KIA was the promotional book, especially the chapter on developing the Stinger at the Ring, that blew my mind. Add in a capacious hatch - practicality to the max - to sexy design and grand touring convenience and comfort, and of course performance - I love to pass fast - and the only thing remaining was what I call the "fatal test drive". Once I got behind the wheel I was down and bought the GT1 three days later. It is my favorite material thing, or rather they are, since I enjoy driving the 2.0L 90% of the time as much as the 3.3L. They both want to move, the 3.3L just wants to a little easier. Since getting the Stinger, my first and so far only brand new car ever, I enjoy driving and any excuse to do so. Errands are no longer annoying, they are an opportunity to drive my "third place", which includes a rolling sound room. I could go on ...

    Finally! My motor! :D Sounds like you have the AWD and not RWD if you're talking about rear bias
    Love mine. It feels a LOT lighter than it actually is (close to 2 tons I think). Agree on the breaks that considering they're Brembos they're not amazing. Most people have replaced the Brembo pads and discs with aftermarket such as EBC as a minimum. I've got a peddlecommander on mine to improve the throttle response - even in Sport/Sport+ its a little laggy, at least my 2017 is.
    Sadly we don't get the AWD here in the UK as components for it messed with the right hand drive layout we have here and cost too much for such a small market, but RWD is fun. It really responds well to good tyres and will punish you with bad tyres.
    I just love the fact that it's fully loaded as standard and equivalent BMW 440i costs about 10-15K more for similar spec and it also gets way more attention.

Unofficially through my son, the Stinger nearly kept up with the Mustang and the AMG, with a top speed of 143-145mph. I've had cruise control set to 105 on my way to Vegas. It's a very comfortable, sporty, little daily driver. You can still get it as Genesis G70.

    Thanks for driving Stinger GT, I own one since FEB 2024 and I was thinking of going to Nürburgring or even give it to you for a drive since there wasn't GT 3.3 on the channel but now I don't have to :) (at least stock :P) Ps. In sport/sport+ mode it's 80% rear (that's what I read) and in comfort 60% rear but it can put 100% torque to the rear if the car thinks it's needed (or fuse is disabled). Definitely you can turn, hit the gas and it'll spin rear wheels giving easy to control drift :). I love it for a daily / family / fun car to drive. It's got everything I need and is superior price wise for what you get. Ps2. You didn't mention HUD which I love and it's hard to find addon in many, even premium cars :)

    Have driven the 330s Australian (Turbo V6 and RWD) since their 2017 release. Very similar performance as the GT featured here except RWD only. You're absolutely correct about the brakes. The series 1 had TERRIBLE pads, and they improved with series 2, but are still low temp and suffer from fade after a couple of hard applications. Unfortunately with series 2 came a recalibration of the ESC and TRC which made them overly 'safe'. Series 1 was loose (possibly a little too loose), but it was better than the current settings. I wished they went for a series 3, with the drive mode selector able to reduce the intrusion of the ESC and TRC but not completely turning it off, and maybe some more power - 350kw would turn the stinger into a FUN-FUN car :)

    I have a white GT1 RWD, the only thing I dislike about this car is the brakes. The factory gives you pads that don’t match the Brembo caliper specs. It vibrates and brake fades fast. The way to fix it is slotted rotors and softer pads and it handles and brakes like a DREAM.

    I have owned this car for 2 years.
    One of the biggest concerns is a stock-breaking system.
    Even though it's a Brembo, it's still not enough for the car, especially if you actively drive through the serpentine for several hours. The braking system overheats, and it stops reacting appropriately.
    But if you change the regular braking system, it becomes much more fan.
    Except for the cons above, the car has a lot of pros. It worth every dollar.
    The best version of the car you can find is RWD, which is a super fan.
    Thanks for the review.

They are amazing cars for the price had one since 2019 with no issues despite track days. Upgrading the brakes is a good idea especially if you want to track it for a bit of fun. No idea why these didn’t sell enough to continue.

    Mine also doesn't hit 90 degrees, it's slightly below.
    And regarding rear bias, at least the GT2 and the GTS has dynamic all-wheel drive and will try to send everything it can to the back wheels in sport mode if you floor it. I'm not sure about the regular GT-model. But yeah you can drift around and do powerslides and stuff no problem even though it's all-wheel drive.

    I have a MY22 as a daily driver. Just came back from a 1500km rosd trip through the ore mointains with my wife. For what it is, a GT, well, I love it. Perfectly comfy ventilated seats, enough space for two plus luggage, comfortable suspension, functional driving aids, Buttons (!!!) For all the important functions, great harmann kardon stereo and most importantly - it goes like stink. I, as a driver, dont do it justice.
    What i do not like:
    1. The brakes. After prolonged use of the adaptive cruise control there is a lot of residue on the rotors which in the end results in slight vibration at the steering wheel. Solution is simple: drive like a man and brake like a man to clean the discs. Still going to get rid of the stock pads sooner or later.
    2. After market rim options very limited due to 8 inch width in front axle.
    3. It has a horrible drinking habit. 9l on 130/h autobahn runs with the wife, far in excess of 15l if you entertain its habit. My overall consumtion over 15000km is 12.5l.
    Would certainly buy it again.

    One thing I’ve realized is this car runs on low turbo boost. Maybe going up to 13psi when in overboost, but regularly running on the 10psi range. So, imagine this car running on 18 or even 20 psi that I believe it can stand originally! Then you should have those 450horses and much more performance with not much of a change!
    Again, thank you and cheers!
