"When Korean carmaker Kia tries to butt heads with the Germans, the Kia Stinger proves they don’t pull any punches. First off, the “point” of the Stinger comes straight from former BMW M-division head Albert Biermann, who has been leading the company’s charge into performance vehicles. You can also thank Peter Schreyer – formerly of Audi and Volkswagen – for the Stinger’s sharp looks. The Stinger’s looks may grab you, but the real knock-out is in the way it drives. Rear-wheel-drive and a 365-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 places the Stinger head-to-head against the renowned European sport sedans. This Stinger is Kia’s statement that they can do more than bring affordability to the car market; they are out to prove that refined performance is not the sole purview of Europe."—Official description[1]
The 2018 Kia Stinger is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sport sedan by Kia.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 7 as part of the Dell Gaming Car Pack, and as standard in Forza Horizon 4.
Synopsis[]
The Kia Stinger is a compact executive sedan that debuted for the 2018 model year. Previewed by the 2011 Kia GT Concept and 2014 Kia GT4 Stinger concept car, the Stinger was designed as a grand tourer, thus sporting a liftback body and rear-wheel drive for performance.
Drivetrain[]
The Stinger in the Forza series is the GT model with the "Lambda II" twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Producing 365 hp (272 kW) and 376 ft·lb (510 N·m) of torque, the car is targeted to reach 167 mph (269 km/h), although top speed is around 183 mph (295 km/h) in its Forza appearances.
Platform[]
The platform was derived from the first generation Genesis G80, which uses 55 percent high-strength steel and additional structural adhesives for greater rigidity. At the rear, the car uses a multi-link suspension and reinforced anti-roll bar.[2]
